    Cabin: Plastic Headliner cracks

    I do not see why the fix for the liner can't be done any where. I had them repair mine when I left it at the dealer for the winter.

    Draining 4Stroke engine oil

    I actually save a step by pumping the oil directly into a disposal container. It is a very clean way to drain the oil

    Draining 4Stroke engine oil

    That sound like a good idea I will try the hole in the filter solution. That should help drain the majority of the oil. You would think they could have come up with a more convenient location during the design phase

    Draining 4Stroke engine oil

    I change mine in the water using the dip stick. At first I used the manual pump but found it took too lond and the one I used leaked so I spent the extra cash and got the electric one/ It works quick and is very neat. It was a good investment for me as I use it on the mower, lawn tractor, snow...

    How to set up a 272 sailfish for TUNA

    I would consider the cost of outfitting your boat for a commercial tuna license first. You are required to have some pretty expensive safety gear. The rec license let's you keep mid size tuna and one giant a year. Unless you plan on selliing your catch you may be better off with a rec license...

    The drain on my fish box is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch higher than is shoud be and although it is not a big issue it does make clean up of the box tougher since there is always some residual remaing in the box. Has any one run into this and how did you correct?

    Pompenett helm chair arm rest

    Grady dealers stock them too and they should be no charge. They are more rubber based than the originals. Problem is they grab your shirt squeezing buy on the tight quarters you have in the helm unless you are really thin! They look much better though

    Side window manufacturer?

    If you talking about the side window that opens and is held in place by plastic arm, there is a supplier located in Florida. A friend of mine recently got one for a 1985 22 foot Seafarer. It was around 50 bucks. He got the name from a GW dealer.

    transom repair

    I do not understand why GW knowing there is a reputation issue would not provide what seems would be a relatively simple and inexpensive fix to this issue. As most on this site have a positive opinion of GWs we all know there are sites with quite a few more members that love to bash this brand...

    Replacing Deck Core - Grady White Sailfish

    I don't have a picture but I remeber the post - it had a series of pictures to illustrate the job. It may have been from a poster who has been banned from the sight. I had the same work done to a Seafarer. The Plywood became delaminated and gave the panel a flexing feel. The fiberglass shop...

    Which one? 232Gulfstream -vs- BW23Conquest -vs- Shamrock246

    Gulfstream is a great boat. I had one with a single 225 and it would have been nice to have more power, but it got the job done without a problem. The twin 150s looks like a nice package. I have seen Gulfstreams with twin 200s and it looks like they may be a bit to heavy the way they sit on a...
