I did an upgrade last year Gulfstream to Salifish. It took a little getting use to the twins over a single, beleive me once you get the hang of docking with them you will never look back on the single. Do you have a bow thruster on the 305? Good Luck with it

Good one

I had a 2004 with a 225 and it was barely enough . Full loads and heavy seas challenged it .

well worth it

Your GW dealer has a premixed gelcoat repair that matches pretty closely to the original. Since your is below the waterline a shade or 2 off should not be a concern

There is a similar desriribed boat at a GW dealer in Nassachusetts. It is a 2000, I have seen it and it is also very clean. It also has 2 stroke engines. The price is 64,900, however, it has been on the market well over a year. Who knows the price in this enviroment. Start the prcing very low...

I agree with Grog - it is a lot more palatable to spend a couple of grand on a honda than 22 grand generator option on the Chesapeake

I was wondering about GWs strategy about dropping the Sailfish and intoducing the the Chesapeake. Not sure if it was a great move particularly in ths economic climate. What do you think the top 3 selling GW models are? I would bet the Sailfish was one of them and I will also bet the...

Can't speak to the twins on a Gulfstrem, however, I can say they are great on a Sailfish so I would assume the same on the Gulfstream. I can also tell you that I had a Gulfstream and it did not like to back up with a single engine. Not sure you would need 400. I has a single F225 and it was OK...

I was there on Sunday and the crowds were pretty impressive. I checked out the Chesapeake too and was not impressed. I think the cabin is actually smaller than the the discontinued Sailfish and the price tag off 200K was questioable. You get a generator and a thuster for 22K option - Can't...

Congratulations I graduated from a single engine gulfstream to a twin Salifish last year. The first couple of dockings were a challenge. First let me say that the Gulfstream was a great boat but impossible to backup. Once you get the hang of the twin engines you will love it. They may not be...

I have one on my Sailfish. Took the asy way out. I bought a flat screen DVD combo tv and justsit it on the rail in the middle of the cabin leaning against the wall when watching it. When not watching or underway it cal fit rignt up under the rod holders. I generally do not store my rods in the...

I had similar problems wtih my Gulfstream. I believe you should be covered by the 5 year hull warranty. The dealer had to remove the cabin ceiling liner to fing the leak and it was the hardtop supports. I also had a vey minor leak in my 2004 Sailfish and the dealer told me he would take care of...

I had the problem on an 85 Seafarer. It turned out to be the actual fuel hose was disintergrating from age. The hose was colapsing and becoming perforated. The tip here is you would be smelling gas fumes from the bilge if ir was perforated. It could be in the early stage and jus collapsing. The...

Welcome and congratulations - you have a great boat and if the fuel prices stay down you will love it!

Thanks Brian - I am hoping for one more year , but I will do as you did if my luck runs out!

I had a y valve on my 04 Gulfstream. When I went to a Sailfish the dealer told me that the system did not use a y valve. If you pump out or macerate there is no valve

Brian - did you do the install yourself? Do you mind me asking the ball park price? I think there is something on the verge of happening to my 04 Sailfish. It was making a high pitched whistling noise when I put it to bed last November. I did a bunch of fresh water rinses and used head lube but...

I have a lowrance and Furuno. The Furuno is my choice but it is also very exopensive. The one on my Sailfish was on it when I bought it. also installed a lowrance as a back-up but I prefer the Furuno due to the size of the screen. You also have a choice of what type of chip to use.

If only they were this much when the boat was in I think I would quit my day job!! Summer will return Premium tuna fetches $100,000 at auction Prized bluefish tuna is shared between two bidders at Tokyo market AP This Japanese bluefin tuna fetched nearly 10 million yen at the...
