Those new 250 V-8’s would be my choice, but they are unicorns. Our boat show is next week I’m going to get some quotes, I’ll share when I get them.

Will do

Anything made by Winter Custom Yachts works for me: Wintercustomyachts.com I am lucky enough to get some invites on a 61 Viking that has a 38 knot cruise and she’s an absolute beast, but those Winters take it to another level. I was next to a 37 Winter ( Ricochet) in Tortolla In November...

I am in the same boat (no pun intended). I have a 265 Express and found some 19 footers off a Carolina Classic 25. Thought it would be plug and play. Was looking forward to a bigger spread compared the stock 15’s. Two issues : the stays ( wires) for the spreaders hits the hardtop when the are...

Wow- thanks so much ( I think ) that looks like quite the project.

That’s what I thought

I’ve got a dumb question, can you just open to see cock and let the tank out at sea with no power? Or does the macerator pump have to work to discharge it at sea?

Farrow blasting

I hear you, if there was a consistent pump out station ( out of 2) on my inlet I would do the same. Got a family full of girls so I got to use it. Just troubleshooting now,

So, I tried the above method I have power to theswitch although the switch doesn’t indicate or power up. It immediately trips the 25 amp fuse in the fuse panel when I press the pump out button, does nothing on the fill level when I press that. I don’t know a lot of stuff, but I really don’t know...

Chasing the same gremlins as the guy on the Jasbco thread, but I have a 265 Express . How do you access the tank/pump? TIA

I am having the same issue with my 2001 265 express. I have replaced the 25 amp fuse but still no power to the pump out panel. I guess I’ll look for that in line fuse. Or maybe the panel is bad?

As much as I don’t want to consider one, an Elevator lift might be my only option, due to my location. Any experience with one? I have a 265 now and maybe the biggest I could go in my creek might be a Marlin or 305. I hear they’re substantially more expensive and a lot more finicky, any info...

I remember seeing a thread on here where someone re-powered with DF 250’s on the same boat and there was something with the factory set negative trim. Once he adjusted that the boat ran a lot better. Just a thought

What Harpoon said, easier than cranking 9k by winch

When we built my trailer we figured 9kish but fully fueled and ready to fish I’d agree 10k is realistic. I don’t trailer too far, mainly have it for doing maintenance, going to the shop, etc. Fishing buddy has a 26 Reg Express so we both share the trailer. I would not pull it with a Grand Cherokee

Love my 265 but if you have to trailer a lot you’ll need a 3/4 ton truck to pull her around. She’s beefy! My family loves the express helm and the berth and shower below

Check the little in line filter on the remote tank, they clog easy. My 200 HPDI ‘s had this issue. They would work fine at low speeds but once you got above 3500 they restricted the flow enough to alarm. I keep spares on the boat and reconfigured my remote tank for better access.

I picked up a set of 19’s off a 25 Carolina Classic. Same circumstances, couldn’t pass up the price. Still playing around with fitment, and the standoffs for the standard 15’s does not work with the 19’s. I am going to reach out to Lee’s for advice, they are good to deal with

Sub’d, wondering the same. Would 4 blades help or hurt the “occasional “ bow steer on the 265?. Running 3 blades on my 200 HPDI’s now.
