    Cataumet Blue

    I could think of a whole bunch of other options I would choose before paying 5 K for a different color. It is nice looking though so I guess there are those willing to pay

    Sailfish fridge

    The frig is on all of the time unless you manually shut it off by turning the rotary switch mentioned earlier. If you are anchored or fishing with engines off for a long time it can run your battteries down. As long as you leave the door shut it stay cold for a long time after you shut it off.

    Gulfstream 23

    I had an O4 Gulfstream and the macerator pump was located under the passsenger seat. The access to it is by removing the screws on the face plate of the tackle draws and the whole unit pops out. I'm not sure if the freshwater was there too. The pumps in the stern could be washdown and livewel?

    04 Sailfish Winterization Question

    I drained the hot water tank and pumped out all of the fresh water before adding the anti freeze. After adding the anti freeze I ran the system until all faucets ran pink with anti freeze including the hot. I had to add several gallons to get it through the hot water. Sound like I should have...

    Noise on F225

    I've got the same noise - it comes and goes. I asked my dealer about it and he said it is nothing to worry about and he would take care of it next year when the water pumps are due for replacement.

    Sailfish 274

    I have no first hand experience. I believe there were only 20 or 30 of these boats produced. There is on in my marina and the owner claims it is great of fuel. He fishes it hard all summer for tuna on the bank. It has had it share of maintenance over the years, not sure exactly what the issues...

    Gulfstream Power

    You stated in perfectly, It is not ideal, however, I had a 2004 and never had an issue. It can be a bit sluggish getting out of the hole but once it gets going it movers at a very good clip. The only time I had issues was when I had 5 or 6 adullts and the ocean was really rough. Never a safety...

    200 HPDI Engine Questions

    I has a 200 HPDI on an 85 Seafarer and it was and is today running great. I think I put it on in 2002 and the difference from the old 2 strokes was night and day. Fuel consumption was very good - Turn the key and it started every time even after a winter of rest. I remember speaking to my dealer...

    Gulfstream Power

    I woned a Gulfstream with the F225 prior to m sailfish. For the most part the 225 is adequate. Not ideal but I never had any issues - It would take a few seconds to get on a plane in rough water with 6 people but ther than that no real issues. It was all I could afford at the time and I had no...
