Anyone who says a 1500 Burb or 1/2 ton pick up can “easily” pull a 265 probably hasn’t pulled one. I pull mine with a 2500 ‘Burb with the 8.1, 4.10 gears and you can tell it’s back there for sure. I have the trailer so I can haul it out for storms, maintenance, etc. No long distance hauling, if...

I am trying to get a set of 19’ Lee’s poles from a Carolina Class 25 to work on my 265 and if that works out the cam cleats will be next. Having issues with the cables from the spar hitting the hardtop edge, and I think I may have to fabricate a backing plate for the Jr’s. I agree, I don’t want...

Gonna do it to my 265 in a week or so, they’re the bomb.

Sub’d , what a great idea

I am lucky enough to fish both my 265 and a regulator 26 express. The regulator is faster and rides better, but the cabin sucks compared to the 265. And I like the 265 helm much better. Since I have a wife and two daughters, Grady white makes more sense to me.

Spoke to GW, they got right back to me. Here’s the measurements: Here’s some information that I have that shows the 2001 265 center of gravity and bunk location. LCG is 109.5” from the transom (at motor mount location, not the keel). The bunks are best located 23.5” off of centerline (47”...

Anyone running one? What’s the story behind this model, don’t see many.

265 owners. Just had a lift installed and the installer asked me to contact GW to get the correct spacing for the lift bunks. I’ve tried CS thru the website, and left a message as well. Can anyone tell me what the correct spacing for the bunks and if you angled them inward any? TIA

I have a pair in my overhead boxes on my 265. Haven’t noticed any interference. You’ll have to put some type of protection around them in the box, I didn’t initially, but then a loose screw dropped into the cone. Lesson learned.

I e-mailed GW customer service to get a replacement but never heard back. Guess I will give them a ring instead.

Did you find a replacement? I’m looking as well.

I got the covers from Taylor and it made a huge improvement

Love my Shurhold DA, lots of good tips on their site

Lots of good ideas and videos on the Shurhold website. I broke down and bought their DA Polisher and some of their compounds and waxes and they are as advertised. My 01 looks new and it was a chalky mess when I bought it

Thanks Fishtales!

Can you still get the bang plate from GW?

Very cool- thanks for that info

Do the 4.2 F250’s mount on 26 centers? Maybe finding a set used would be the way to go. Anyone know the weight of the 4.2 250’s?
