    Transom Flotation??

    Yeah, easy enough to put some folks on the transom and see what happens. I figured I removed about 160#'s from transom with the 4 battery setup I did after I got my boat. The two I moved are very heavy batteries. I looked up the weights of the motors a while back, here is what I found on the...

    Bow Light mounted under pulpit?

    See lots of views, but no comments. I have not seen this done before, so likely no input on that from experience. I do know that this light will take on lots of water/wave action heading into seas, so getting one with strong water proof capability is key here. Would be cool also to put an...

    Transom Flotation??

    I too am very intrigued by the new G2's. With my 25 and 200 HPDI's, the weight gain with the G2's is minimal difference. I estimated the weight gain to be approx. 60#'s each motor. However, these include the power steering system weight and also, not sure if the weight of the G2's include...

    Bow Light mounted under pulpit?

    Hi folks, thinking about mounting a spreader type light under the pulpit for purposes mostly to show the anchor rope and anchor when retrieving in the dark. This light would cause no glare from the helm, but aid someone up front to see what is going on, etc. Might be able to see the rope from...

    Deck sealent/caulk

    I have been using the Almond for several years. It does pretty good. No issues with deck seams. No mold. However, around some other areas where there is more movement like swim platform, it will break the seal, but easy to reseal. Around the base of my bow pulpit, it was molding a bit, but...

    LED spreader lights recommendations

    Was just reading about the Lumitec. They are dimmable and also in either white or red or white or blue, both dimmable. Nice feature.

    2014 Marlin leaks

    Update on leak..Ran offshore a couple weeks back after I had sealed the port side rubrail. I was in mostly 2-4' seas and pushed into some enough to throw lots of water up and over hardtop. I had zero water coming into cabin this time! So hopefully that will resolve the issue. So far, I did not...

    LED spreader lights recommendations

    Checked out some of the new Grady's on the lot last week. They are using Lumitec now. All the one's on the lot were flush mounted models. The lumitec's are pricey as well, so until I see some with age, will not yet go there. Keeping an eye out on the Coastal Night Lights as well. I see they...

    re-powered the Finest Kind...again!

    Thanks Len, sorry but not getting the notifications anymore when someone responds to a post. Sent to Jeff, but no response so far on how to fix this issue. Good info. Do you have any pics of the bracket from rear showing the bottom side to transom angle view? Sorry, bad way to explain it...

    cutting board/bait station ideas

    I have toyed around a bit and first went with a V-lock system and found a cutting board that would mount and fit like I wanted. I did some mod's to it. It was ok and had the flexibility to mount overhanging the fish box, or turn around and hang into the cockpit which was nice on most days. But...

    '99 272 Sailfish Cockpit Base Molding

    Good deal! Where did you end up finding the trim? Seems it was no longer available in Ebay.

    re-powered the Finest Kind...again!

    Hi Len, what is the deal with the Hermco flotation bracket? Did your boat previously have the springfield bracket from Grady? If so, how much more flotation does this provide? It seems the G2's weight a bit more than the 200 HPDI's so not sure if a few pounds would hurt me if I ever decided to...

    Teak

    I have tried the PVC. Too soft and dents like crazy. Removed it. I currently have starboard trim. The foot rail is 3/4" thick and is excellent so far. No noticable warping to a point where I am concerned or unhappy. however, the 1/4" trim on the gunnels/transom do warp. To minimze the warp...

    ISO,, radio box net?

    Those have many purposes. Thinking the 20" X 24" will fit under hardtop and hold my throw cushion! Thanks for the link!

    LED spreader lights recommendations

    I first purchased the Taco Marine LED deck lights. They kept losing the LED's. Returned them to WM. Purchased the Dr. Kevin LED's. Pricey to say the least, but promised quality. After 1st year, most all the coating was coming off and they were corroding terribly. Called them and they finally...

    Bone colored star board

    In case anyone needs this info later, the Seafoam matches the Grady Gelcoat color very well. I always get mine from Boat Outfitters cut to size option and get only what I need. http://www.boatoutfitters.com/king-star ... oCb-vw_wcB

    Cracked Fiberglass Near Transom

    Many years ago, when I had my 20' Renken with OMC Seadrive, the transom gave way when I hit a freak 12' wave going out of the Boca Inlet. I sent the boat back to the factory in SC and they added a heavy gauge aluminum angle on the inside of the transom. If I recall, they through bolted it with...
