You could try a Dremel tool with a fiber cutoff wheel. Small version of what you brought. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Dremel-EZ-Lock-1-1-2-in-Rotary-Tool-Mandrel-Starter-Kit-for-Metal-6-Piece-EZ406/100484370 I have had success drilling out plastic thru hulls from the mushroom side with a step...

You can't get a hand on that? I would cut out the drain fitting with a step-bit and replace it with a new one and hose.

It is extremely difficult to evaluate the condition of GW transoms. Because of the bang caps they are all likely "wet". Being "wet" doesn't mean they are falling apart - at least for now. You need to look for other signs - movement causing cracks or swelling. People can rationalize everything is...

Talk to Ken at propgods.com - My 4-blades were a game changer. Dropped 2" of pitch without any loss of top end and got a nice mid-range. If the props are seriously overloaded and slipping the change is worth it.

I joined the FB Group but I generally find that FB is a poor substitute for GG. Helping someone on FB is difficult to maintain a coherent thread. I help on FB but refer them to GG for better help.

You are not likely to find one. If you do it will be beat up with serious edge chipping. That is the reality. I refinished mine myself including the aluminum tower. it would have been cheaper to pay someone to do it it but it wouldn't have come out as good. People told be to build new - and it...

Come on! 14 posts on a steering wheel knob? I have a cheap one and it works great. Probably work better if it was Platinum with Diamond studs.

This stuff is expensive even in a quart plus all the other items you need. https://www.awlgrip.com/north-america/products/primers/wash-primer-cf#overview If your not going to do the whole bracket "done right - done once" just touch up with something every year.

I refinished my factory aluminum tower two years ago. I came out beautiful but it was a lot of work and paint materials. AwlGrip products. Removed from boat. Aluminum was sandblasted, etch primed, AwlGrip primed and AwlCraft 2000 painted. I did all the paint work myself. Everything sprayed. As...

I have a 1997 268 Islander and it is severely faded. Spectrum color didn't even come close. You are going to need to hand tint it. My advice is to find a good glass guy in your area or tine yourself.

The Key Largo to Miami bite never repeated or popped up elsewhere. Similar thing happened in Islamorada/Marathon last Feb 24th. Palm beach bite has been consistently good - 10 releases a day are common. Been a terrible year for me and others in Islamorada. There are a few sailfish around and the...

I'm a all Garmin boat. The Garmin units are probably newer and would be my preference. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/8050 That Garmin 4028 model for the display is not right. Put a phot up or check it again. Power it up and look at system settings...

Grady White has made dozens of boat models over the years but only one CAT hull and has discontinued it. What am I missing here?

Don't wast out time. Get model numbers. We'll talk then.

Outside!

I've had debris (grass, seaweed) get inside the cooler. Use 300lb test fishing line or string trimmer line to snake it and the hoses out to pee port. I keep a piece at the helm for season startup. Also I made a "Y" hose to connect to the ear muffs and the flush port. This helps the motor plenty...

Sailfish exploded in the Key Largo to Miami area. Crazy number of releases. Tuesday and Wednesday - Thursday not in yet. Dozen boats reported in. https://billfishreport.com/

Try GreatLakesSkipper.

Take several pieces of large bubble wrap and cut to size to fit in box. Maybe 3 layers.

I do Islamorada for a month or two each winter. I'm always amazed how shallow the water is. Particularly in the bay. Running along at speed looking at the bottom. But in 20 years of fishing there it hasn't been an issue.
