    Tips/suggestions on installing a mini-fridge in a 232 Gulfstream

    The only place I could think about placing it would be where the head is, then you would need to figure out where to put a porta-pottie, or another head, if you intended to keep a head on the boat. I’m pretty sure there’s not enough depth on the counter side, where it could fit and be able to...

    232 vs 228?

    This condition I experienced, is typically with the tabs heavily deployed and a lot of weight up front heading upsea in short interval swells on a windy day.

    232 vs 228?

    The 232 also comes with 12x9, these might work for a boat this size with no bracket, and motors mounted to the transom. I’d love to go 18”s but with the 2 scupper setup on the 232, it will push the tab closer to the keel, which im not a huge fan of. I also add a 65qt cooler in the cabin filled...

    232 vs 228?

    I can say I rode on both boats, and ended up purchasing the 232 ultimately. Each has its pros/cons I will list my thoughts below: 228 w/ Single 250 Suzuki Pros: Ride: Upsea- shorter interval chop more comfortable less pounding. Trailerability: Lighter and shorter...

    Twin Yamaha 150’s woes

    Throttle cables adjusted on both motors, to spec in Yamaha service manual. I have way better throttle response, but the starboard motor is still running about 800 rpm lower than the counter rotating port motor. I plan on checking fuel pressures and coil’s next. Would anyone know if a damaged...

    Twin Yamaha 150’s woes

    Yes, if the throttles are aligned the starboard motor is running about 300 less rpm through the range. At idle and in gear at idle, they run at about the same rpm (700). I will check adjustments tomorrow, hopefully it’s something simple just as that. If not I will continue troubleshooting with...
