When there was the ability to borrow money for "free" or nearly free it made people willing to pay up. The margins on high end and "loaded" boats (and SUVs and trucks) are huge. It didn't make sense to waste production space & capital on "cheap" models at no profit. (Thats why Ford doesn't sell...

Guest is part of Marinco now. You might still find Guest branded switches. Perko has the old "big" switches too. There are different physical sizes and hole patterns. There are surface mount and thru mount. There are different terminal LUG sizes(1/4, 5/16, 3/8). Be careful of that because you...

you got the wrong boat if you are all about going fast. Above 40 is not a good thing in a 265 Express.

Not a bad excuse for flushing the whole thing. Then you'll have all of the same stuff and it will be new. You'd be amazed how rusty that stuff can get. You can get a gallon of 5606a on amazon for $60. Flush the whole system and have plenty to do it again. I transfer remainder to a plastic jug...

Definitely get rid of Halogen spreaders for LED. You can run LEDs all night. Halogens suck power. IMO your better with a handheld rechargable spotlight. Cheap. Easy to install cause you don't have to install it. Easy to point at what you are looking at. LED floods under pulpit or on top of...

I sold my ox66s on facebook. The dealer boxed the controls/cables/gauges and put the yammies on the Zuke motor shipping frames and forklifted them onto the guy's trailer...no charge...

No problem with strength. There is plywood core in the gunnel. Presumably you are using the swivel as a fighting position. You want to be able to swing the rod to clear the corner of the transom. Test your positioning based on that. You have more room than my 265. I would put the swivel where...

I would test run the boat without tabs for a while. If it runs well, save your money. If you need them, don't cheap out. Get electric with indicators and auto retract. Otherwise they are more trouble than they are worth

Its all in here https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/265-express-suzuki-df200apxw2.29099/ There are numbers in this one for DF250s https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/265-express-w-suzuki-df250ap-re-post.28878/

My thought was an arch that is higher than the tilted motors but still lets the door open. Trying to find a pic. Think of the off the shelf transom 6 rodrack you see everywhere, but arched up off the transom. Or hinged and pinned so it flips up or comes off when the motors are raised nothing...

Oh, at very least, you can put cupholder/rodholders in the cupholder spaces of the transom.

Also, think about a custom rack of 6 rodholders on the transom. It could arch up higher than the lid of the fishbox. Motors would clear? Definitely need transom rodholders. I have 6 in my transom tailgate. Could not live without them.

330 is a very wide boat..11ft? I haven't fished one but I've been on one. If you don't have coolers and buckets covering the deck you have the room. Certainly a great option if your style of fishing is strictly trolling for tuna/mahi/sailfish/marlin and you have a big set of riggers tripled...

The DF200APs are plenty enough for the boat. You get digital controls for the price of mechanical Yammie i4 F200s. DF225s are only mechanical and weigh the same as a DF250AP. The hull is rated at 450hp...maybe the 2003-5 bumped up to500? idk There was a guy who put DF250s on a 265. I think...

I know the OP already bought the starboard but for that application you could use 1/2" PVC panel like Azek or Verdana Especially if the cut edges are going to be hidden Less expensive and lighter.

Table saw is a must for truly straight long cuts. use OSB/Plywood circular saw blade. Lots of small teeth. Don't use a normal construction blade. Drills will grab. you are warned. Screws will cause a bump on the back side and possibly the front. Run them thru then back them all out and cut...

18 yo screens means 18 yo maps and 18 yo sonar and probably 18 yo transducer and radar. my friend, you are looking at a Nokia flip phone in an iPhone 15 world. There is no comparison. you have 400 x 600? res...maybe 600x800?... and buttons! I'm guessing even the Furuno menus have changed so...

I don't think a ProMariner was original but I could be wrong. They come in the box with a plug but that doesn't mean it wasn't cut off and spliced. Nobody can tell you. Your going to have to look at it. Looking at it will probably be an ah ha moment. Also, are you SURE that nothing has been...
