I just had a post about this for my 1996 Voyager. Those faucets are still available if it is the same one I have, but they are usually sold with a separate pump with switch built into the faucet. The original one just had a knockout cap where the switch would have gone. You can find them as a...

I purchased this boat last year and have been slowly fixing it up. It looks like the windlass on this boat is not original to the boat and was added by somebody. Question - did this boat originally have an anchor locker, and if so, was there a flip open cover for it. My boat looks like...

Here are a couple of pics of the replacement trim I installed. Material is very cheap at Home Depot. All you need is a chop saw and it's pretty easy to duplicate the duratrim. Still need to do a lot of work to this boat (Voyager 248), but am slowly rehabbing it.

I'll post some pics next time I get into the boat. Cutting new trim was really pretty easy and minimal work, and the bonus is that it costs very little to replace and anyone has access to the materials at their local home depot / Lowes.

Ill see what I can do - my boats are all wrapped but I just did this for my Voyager and came out looking just as good as the tournament. Ill see if I csn snap a couple of photos Ive been working on it via an access door and space heater even though we have snow here. Cant get much done during...

Yeah I actually replied to that thread with the same solution I mentioned here. Spent a couple hours last night trying to find a faucet that could be substituted in but no luck there. The recess is a paltry 3.5” H x 8” wide - not much space to work with. It might be possible to open up the...

It was a company called Portland Glass, they are a franchise with several locations. But I am in New Hampshire, so folks will probably need to find a similar company more local to them.

nobody replied, so I will let everyone know I simply went down to Home Depot, bought some composite trim, and replaced all the old duratrim with this. The boat looks a lot better and I believe newer GWs use a white trim anyway.

Just a follow up on the windows. I was able to have a local glass company replace all the cuddy windows and skylight for a measly $300.00. I had to shop around a bit though - another company within eyeshot of the one I went with, they quoted me $1200.00 for the same job. So goes to show...

A follow up from my post earlier in the year. I was able to get the boat out 3 times at the end of the season to at least get a few trial runs, and begin going through the process of working out the kinks. I hit the rev limiter on the motor at 6100 RPM with a stock 17P prop. Granted the...

I replied to another thread where this subject came up. I bought a 1996 Voyager with the same issue - gunnel faucet box is dry rotted out. My solution is I'm having a 3D print duplicated of the original, but I'm also currently trying to source a faucet with valve integrated into it that will...

I purchased a 1996 Voyager with the same issue. I am having the recessed flange reproduced via 3-D printing, along with the two drawer flanges that go under the seats. They are all dry rotted and brittle, this will restore the boat back to a closer version of its original luster. Im in the...

Thank you! On a side note, this upcoming weekend may be the first time Ive ever used this boat. Been working on it since February in a full repower and cosmetic rehab complete with new wiring. I have a 300hp single on it. What has been your top speed and size of the motor on your boat?

Thank you. Yes, I wasn't going to waste my time looking for a replacement tub. However, I am working with a local fabricator to reproduce the tub for my boat via 3D printing, so it should work fine. Maybe not as pretty as the original, but will be functional for my use! On a side note - I...

Did these boats originally come with a removeable tub in the rear access hatch near the port gunnel immediately forward of the boarding ladder? attached pic is the access point Im talking about. Im assuming this is the same hull design right through 2010 with the Journey 258 model.

Hey FA, thanks for the feedback! The motor Im installing is an ETEC 300 (Im a mechanic), and hearing your feedback as a fellow 2-stroke operator. Those OS66 yamahas were the best motor they ever made snd thats coming from an OMC mechanic! On a side note the 248 is the same boat as the 258...

Thats interesting to hear thank you. I have an older 1980’s 22 seafarer that I switched from an old carbureted 225hp over to a fuel injected 300, and its like night and day in terms of performance - propped the right way I can hit 50+ MPH which frankly is too fast for that hull. 45-50 with...

Hello All, I'm currently rehabbing my 4th Grady - newly acquired earlier this year 1996 Yoyager 248. I'm putting a 300hp on it - was wondering what types of max speed people have seen with this set up. Going to start with a standard 17P prop and see where the tach goes and adjust from...

I use the boat both inland and coastal where there can be strong currents or tidal. Pushing a 25-ft boat that weighs 5,000lbs, a 25-60hp motor is the minimum to maintain control of the boat in these conditions and hold headway speed. I've been off shore in 20 foot sea swells, and as we all...

I own a marina that specializes in Evinrude, and can do all the work in house, and it already has twin 150 ETECS, so it simplifies the repower. So I have a unique position to help keep things affordable. I am a 2-stroke guy so my opinion is biased toward that given I work on them full time...
