    Yamaha 100 hour service

    The 06 gulfstream w/ twin yamaha 150's that I bought one month ago had 71 hours on the twins. The boat had the winter service last year and then it was placed for sale this spring. I am assuming that the oil was changed, etc. when the boat was serviced for the new season/sale. I already put 30...

    Dealership error in Bottom Paint application ?

    Thank you for the advice. Since I took delivery of the boat, I used about half a tank of gas or 75 gallons and also added 12 gallons of water to my water tank. I still dont think that the paint job should be such that you have to always keep the fuel tank full....unless that is standard...

    Dealership error in Bottom Paint application ?

    The dealership that brokered my 06 gulfstream purchase applied a coat of anti-fouling bottom paint before delivery of the boat to me. (The prior owner kept the boat on a rack when not in use and the boat was never bottom painted) After having the boat for a few weeks, I noticed that in the stern...

    Yamaha Extended Warranty question

    Thanks gerrys. The dealer actually just responded to my earlier e-mail and advised that they took care of it at the dealership and that I should receive something in the mail from Yamaha. So hopefully that solves the problem.

    Yamaha Extended Warranty question

    I am new to boating and just purchased a used 06 gulfstream with twin 150's that was advertised as having the extended 6 year warranty. The sale was brokered by a Grady White dealership. The boat was delivered to me in Jersey City from Delaware, but the dealer did not include any paper-work...

    New to Boating ; Safety Question

    Thank you all for responding, and point well taken. It seems like the consensus is that its not the greatest idea to ride it up myself. I will haul up the boat to Liberty Landing Marina in Jersey City and then familiarize myself with it slowly until I learn the ropes. Better safe than sorry :)

    New to Boating ; Safety Question

    Hi all. I purchased a 2006 Gulfstream w/ twin 150s and need to bring it from Delaware to Jersey City where I live. I am new to boating. Am I asking for trouble if i plan on bringing it up myself using the intracoastal or is this something that can be safely accomplished?
