Hello Everyone, Many of you may be familiar with our pride and joy. With regrets we are selling but we just don't use it (into bikes now). Someone else needs to enjoy this! We are the second owners of the GSE and bought from original owner in Florida. The boat is a 1994 but shows excellent...

Ok, I'm in a bit of a dilema. On another thread I have stated that my GSE is the best boat I have ever owned. And as many of us on here, I have owned quite a few boats in my 50 years of existence on this planet. But, our lakes are becoming busier with wakeboard boats and cruisers causing the...

Long time...no post, but I've been creeping around. I'm getting the itch. So, I've been running a stock 26 Drag 4 on my GSE w/280. Great prop. Also have a 29srx by DAH. It was my fav with my 225 PM but I'm not a fan with the 280. So, I'm thinking about a 28ET or getting my Drag 4 worked. I...

I've got the oil question out there and thought I would ask about the Aces IV fuel additive. Who uses it? I've heard good things about it. I'm more worried about getting crappy fuel and am told this solves many issues from octane deficiency to water in fuel.

I have always used the Alisyn (spelling?) oil in my 280, but it is harder to come by north of the border. So, I'm looking for alternatives. What does everyone use? Thanks Gary

I'm maybe shopping for a new jack plate and trim Gauge. My jack plate gauge stopped working at end of season, and I never got a chance to diagnose before putting to sleep for the winter. And I never installed a new trim sending unit after replacing my 225PM with a 280 and a 20" offshore mid last...

Moved to general discussion. Didnt realize i was in props for sale....lol. Can I delete this?

I've got a 1994 GSE. My ski pole is a little short after we installed the 280 with Alien Cowl. (should've went 15"mid instead of 20"). Anyway, in order to lengthen, Bill would like me to send back pole and mounting sleeve too. I'm looking for alternatives before I go that route. My kids...

Hi Everyone, I have a 2.5 280 with 260 electronics and brucato pcu. Its a stock 2007 powerhead directly from Merc. (date stamp is actually 12/06.) What would you recommend for spark plugs? (currently has Champions, don't have the # with me). Make and number if possible please. thanks gary

Looking for a dual indicator for trim and jackplate. Anyone got an extra stainless marine one they're not using? Thanks Gary

Story of my life...lol After installing my 280 with Alien cowl, my ski pole is short by a few inches of safely clearing the cowl. Solutions?

Hey Guys, As my 280 is new to me, I had a couple of questions; 1) what engine temp do they like to run at. what normal operating temp should call for concern? 2) what is normal water pressure at 5000 rpm and above? 3) what size diameter water tube should it have? I'm getting 20+ lbs at...

I know I've read this info many times, but thought I would post the question specific to my application. So here it goes. Where would you recommend I run my prop shaft height? Application = Grandsport / 280 / 20"offshore /26 Drag4 / hydr. jackplate / hydr.steering. (also have a 29srx by...

Just like to thank all that put up with my numerous questions over the winter on performance mods for my GSE and 225PM. I went through many scenarios and thought I would never make a decision. But my boys and I finally made a decision and had the maiden voyage on the weekend. So, we sold...

Looking for a couple of Lifeline's or SRP's. Poker run style preferred as we are not using for racing. I need a few so size is flexible. Thanks. gary

Throwing around some prop ideas for my GS. Most likely will be a slightly modded 260 with an A48 computer. I wanna top out at about 103 and spin low 8's. And will only do that rarely. So that looks like a 27 maybe a 26. I would like an original 26 T3X Sport but that looks difficult. So...

Hi, I'm looking for a 26 or 27 T3X 'Sport'. Please PM me with what ya got. Thanks

So, its slow around here today, sun was out, enjoying the rays, staring at the ice and waiting for it to melt! I'm in a pickle. As some know, I want to re-power my GS. Nothing wrong with the existing 225PM, in fact, its like new. I just want more power, accel and top-end with the ability to...

Hey Guys, Who has or has been in a GS with a 280? I'm thinking that route instead of PM mods. Also, are ya running 20 or 15 mid, year, Consumer or ROS box...etc? I would really like to know your likes and dislikes, performance, props...etc? Thanks for your input!! gary

On another thread I was seeking advice on mods for my stock 225PM (20"mid with sportmaster) that sits on my GS. Now, someone is recommending I sell it (BTW-I have a buyer) and go buy a 280. My fear is the 'manners' of the 280 motor. I need to be able to shift and idle. We do some watersports...
