    2002 Grady White Bracket Oring

    I went the route outlined by Mustang 65 with that same inspection port on the Gil bracket on my 08 Gulfstream and struck out. I only found the right size on Amazon after measuring the original and it took awhile but have it sealed up now with spares in hand. A temporary fix, if it's currently...

    '87 232 Gulfstream with twins and dual fuel tanks

    Here is a diagram of your fuel system from the owners manual for your boat (available free at GradyWhite.com). If you're so worried about that valve being sketchy that you don't want to try to switch tanks then you should replace them ($32 Amazon x2) with new ones and start using both tanks...

    228 or 232?

    Those numbers were “inside” (Puget Sound) numbers which I fully expect to go down on the open ocean. That said better than I was expecting for such a heavy boat - I’m happy but still need to upgrade my fishing buddies to ones with fatter wallets {;>)

    #1 - Go to the Grady White website and download the owners manual for your year/model. Good info all but in the appendix will be plumbing and wiring diagrams laid out on the outline of your boat for all systems and will show where the livewell pump is located. On my Gulfstream, it's in the...

    #5 - Just bought new gas shocks for the hatch doors on the livewell and the fishbox on my Gulfstream. They were 10" (center of mounting ball to center of mounting ball when compressed) and at 60 lbs force. One of the original shocks was still there albeit with a broken end that grabs the ball...

    228 or 232?

    Cruise at around 3900 / 30 mph / 2.5 mpg - WOT at 5900 / 50 mph - that was with topped up tanks 150 gal fuel / 20 gal water - It's bottom painted so makes sense to me that these numbers were just slightly off from other published numbers I've seen. The 200's at cruise is a bit better mileage...

    228 or 232?

    Just circumnavigated San Juan island in my new-to-me 232 w/Twin 200's. This was on a shake-down, whale-hunt cruise with my wife and granddaughter. Hit some nice 3+ foot whitecaps on the outside and carved them up like thanksgiving turkey. Absolutely love this boat! Crab-walked it across a rip...

    2005 232 Gulfstream Woodinville Wa (NOT MINE) for $26K

    Was listed for $117K - paid $97K. The mixup in pics didn't do the dealer any favors as far as interest. The boat is cherry with original showroom shine on her. Obviously was stored inside and used less than 10 hrs/year since new. One broken hinge on the toilet cover is the only thing I could...

    2005 232 Gulfstream Woodinville Wa (NOT MINE) for $26K

    The new gal at 3-rivers swapped the pics between the two listings. The 2008 232 only has 134 original hours on the boat and motors and I just made a deal and bought it. Cuddy never been slept in, downriggers never been used and not a spot of rust on the trailer. New batteries and new tires on...
