Ok gotta have up close pics of the cleaning/chum cutting table over the transom splashwell. If the boat were smaller it would be called a pole platform down this way....lol very clever and I bet even more functional.

Just did the final sea trial on my son and I's 2001 265 that we spent the better part of the past year installing radar, bottom machine and a host of other improvements on. Most notably was the repower we did...twin 225 Merc Optis. Several people said that we should have gone Yamaha, but after...

I did this same project on an 82 240 Offshore. Paint the DRY wood with resin. Cushion all wood to tank contact areas with rubber cushion. A dense rubber mat like you have at your back door (think cheap welcome mat from Lowes) cut into strips works well. Be careful how you route fuel lines...

Hands down for cockpit layout and ride, the 265 Express was Grady's best design.

Just finished building a 2002 265. New 225 Marc Optics. With 17 props I managed 51.mph at 5400 rpm. Best part is that she got 2.24 mpg between 25 and 30 mph. Seas built up to 6 feet and the ride remained totally dry and not a bit of pounding. Grady should never has stopped making this boat.

Wow I was hoping for a reply. Thank you to everyone that responded. Seems Grady has it in the file that they were Planos but no part number or dimension. Thank you for the help guys. She goes into the water next week (the second time for my son and I). :goodjob

My 2001 265 Express has a small tackle locker on the starboard side that holds several plano type slide in boxes. My boxes were missing when I purchased the boat. The slots measure approx. 14" x 9" x about 2". Called Grady about which Plano boxes they were but they didn"t have a record. Does...

Purchased a 265 express (2002) and mothballed it for a couple of years (the boat was warehoused and out of service for a couple of years prior to my purchase. The cuddy cushions were still in plastic and paper wrap when I purchased the boat.). Recently pulled it out and put new outboards...

Want to wash the cuddy cushion fabric on my 2002 265 express. Cushions have vinyl trim. Has anyone done this and if so how? Thought that a machine washer might be too aggressive.

I was aware of the radome issue but not the crazy flat rate repair fees. I have left several messages for the Raymarine tech staff and never received a reply. I have a couple of C80 units on my 265 Express. Time is coming for upgrades and Simrad or Furuno are going to be my choice. I, like...

Thats actually where GW said to put it. Several owners indicated otherwise. Guess I will have to temp mount on a fluid filled bag and test several areas. Nothing is ever easy. Ray

2002 265 Express. Want to install in hull wet box for m260 transducer. Near the transom on both sides of the keel, Grady put seacocks. One is for the washdown and other is for the livewell. I also have oil tanks installed on the flats on both sides of keel for the 2 strokes so that area is...

Grady cust serv. Ask for Carolyn Wray. She is very helpful. Remember to ask for the name of the parts manufact. or distributer. You can sometimes purchase from the manufacturer and avoid the dealer and save a little.

No, the battery switch is behind a door beside the place that I am referring to. The missing piece/part is prob. about 3-4 inches, square and needed a larger center hole in the middle. But thanks for trying. :hmm

Am outfitting a new to me '02 265 express. When I purchased it something was mounted/installed just above the washdown connection on the aft portside under gunnel area. There is a hole with 4 screw holes surrounding the center hole. I'm thinking maybe a shore power receptical or faucette handle?

I have a 2002 265 that I have repowered with 225 Optis. There are flat areas on both sides near the stern in the bilge area that are designated as mounting areas for oil tanks. The question is how were the oil tanks filled on this boat when it was powered with 2 stroke engines? There had to...

2002 265 express. Just bought a pair of 2011 225 Optimaxes. Which hole do I hang the motors on, second or third from the bottom? How about the pitch of the props? Has anyone done this repower. HELP!!!! :hmm

Purchased a 2002 265 Express w/o motors. Grady white has sent me a list of things to do pending installation/upgrade to F250 four stroke engines. Most notable was raising scuppers on the transom 1.25 inches. Has anyone done this? Further transom reinforcement needed? Was 1.25 high enough...
