    Helm seats

    Not sure if they were removable, but I will double check this week and report back. If I remember correctly they were built into the frame, but I check to make sure and take pics.

    282 useable fuel

    Seasick that's a great idea actually. Forgot having two tanks I can measure each one individually without getting stranded. I do use the 1/3 rule when going to the tuna grounds, but I always wondered what amount of useable gas I actually am basing my 1/3 rule off of if that makes sense? Was...

    282 useable fuel

    I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the true useable fuel amount is for the 2001 282. It's the year with two tanks 150/70

    Cruising RPM's?

    I'm in the same boat as you wahoo, 2005 f250s , m19 props and I max out at 44-45mph with light load, fresh scrape/paint and tail wind. But I do cruise at between 3800-4200. For some reason my engines hummmm so beautifully in that range.

    Sailfish 272 Outboards

    I think you'll be fine with the power aspect. No speed demon, but sufficient. The 272/282 came with option 200 hpdi outboards and I'm pretty sure the new zukes produce more torque than them. .

    Rocket Launcher Rod Holders? 330 Express

    I have a sailfish but similar height. My holders are way to high to grab them without doing a monkey swing with one hand. Not easy when out in the ocean. I'm trying to find a mobile welder to have them dropped 5 inches. Just something to think about before the install.

    Helm seats

    Model # 17075086 Springfield twin 46 flip up. I thought I took pictures and for whatever reason I can't find them in my phone. I'm going back to the marina and another week to hopefully pick up my boat from getting the yearly maintenance done. I'll snap some pics and put them up. If you have...

    Deck drain hose & thru hull replacement

    Yep ok, that's what thought. I searched and found the same part numbers, yet no one stocks them. I called perko and they said only a dealer can order them. Which is stupid. I ended up getting the full stainless from grady and haven't installed them yet because I'm still not comfortable putting...

    I had my b744 on that transducer pad (2001 282) without a fairing block and it performed very well up to 30ish mph. I currently have a b765, it's the same as the b744 but with chirp, and again no fairing block on the transducer pad.

    Helm seats

    Just installed it. Couple of notes. It's much more supportive than the seat I replaced. If you are sitting on the side where bolster can flip up, it sorta makes you sit up right correctly. If you switch positions and sit opposite of the flip up boslter (fixed position), it's more roomy and...

    Flir install on sailfish

    I think you guys are correct, I just needed to make sure before the install. Last thing I wanted to do is have to change it all around after the fact. Thank you guys!

    Flir install on sailfish

    I currently have quantum radar sitting on top of 5-in pedestal. I know these pictures aren't the best but here's few from after I installed the quantum radar. And then here's another close-up of one from when I first bought the boat with the old radar. My fear is obviously that it will obstruct...
