offshore pro 24 question

[bigfish1229]

Hi all i am new to the boar, however i have 2 gradys a 1990 25' sailfish with twin 200 yamahas and a 1985 offshore pro 24 which i have recently completed restoration of. it has a 2009 300 hpdi yamaha on it and all new flush mounted electronics and a killer jbl sound system. however i have one question.

when i started the restoraton of this boat it had a thru hull transducer for an old si-tex color graph. i removed that obviously. i am now installing a thru-hull transducer for a new lowrance color graph i just bougt. what i need to know is the angle of the hull so i can cut the fairing block. i cannot find this info anywhere so if someone could please help i would greatly appreciate it. thanks in advace--zach

I want to say 17 or 18 degrees, but contact Grady to be sure - http://www.gradywhite.com/contact/

Prior to the newer SeaV hulls in the 90's, the midsize sailfish were around 20 degrees...thats what my 88 sailfish 25 is....but contact GW for sure, they'll have the exact number

It is easy to measure the angle. If the boat is level from side to side, lay a level touching the spot where the transducer will be. With the level held at level bulble, either measure the angle to the hull or just trace a line on a piece of cardboard that is snug to the hull. That's the exact angle.

It's 20 degrees . My 87 that I had for 10 years was. I measured it with my degree finder.

thanks for the replys, are the hull angles the same for both the sailfish anf offshore pro? my sailfish is around 2 feet wider than the offshore pro is.

Your sailfish is 25 ' with a 9'6" beam" . the offshore is 24'2" with an 8'0" beam and both are 20 degrees of deadrise at the transom. The Sailfish changed in 92 when it became a SEAV2 hull and the OFFSAHORE changed in 92 with the SEAV2 hull and became the Explorer. Hope this helps.

thatnks a bunch that is the answer i needed, i will post some pics of both boats later this week. i am really happy with the way the 24 turned out, however i do want to paint both boats in the near future, anyone have suggestions on which paint to use. i do have a spray booth at my shop, which is big enough to do both boats, but i want something that wont fade out easilly. thanks

AWLGRIP or IMRON. I'd go with AWLGRIP personally, but alot of folks like IMRON also.
