Allrighttttyyy then. This has been going on since mid-June, but I finally got Wise to respond and after clearly stating I wanted skins with the GW emblem on the front side and aft side of the seat back (like when it was bought) and sending a picture, I placed an order. The order arrived...

My intent is to solve this for the do-it-yourself-ers. I would not worry if I was having someone else do it. I did my own for my Seafarer and they looked awesome and was cheap. Now I want to do the same on my Sportsman, but this seat has the logo. Also I am doing some but not all of them, so I...

Wow, that is the understatement of the years :) I called Wise over a month ago. Immediately sent them info via e-mail, as requested. I did receive a follow-up e-mail with questions on details I had already provided, but still nothing definitive about what and how I need to order it. I may have...

A year and a half later and both horns are still working (in case anyone is as interested in why they fail as I was/am).

WOW - that is $24 cheaper than anywhere else for the whole thing. Not bad indeed, and it would be shiny again :)

No disagreement, and all input is appreciated, but it was a bit light on facts. My intent was to provide details and part numbers so we know what will and will not work. So far I believe the following to be correct: The Grady White wiper is a ANCO 52-xx, where xx is length 16", 18", 20" (My...

Regarding wiper blade refills, I found I could use a TRICO 47-800 from Advance. This is a break-to-fit refill that is 26" x 8 mm (two in a pack) for $7...

Very interesting. Mine does not have embossed GW on the seats, but I know what you are talking about. I wonder if that was not available on the '93 Seafarer, or if it was an upgrade that the original owner decided against. Regardless, I will check into it as that may be a nice upgrade. Thank you...

Kinda an old topic so hopefully resurrecting it is OK. The debate over Sea White vs Chalk seems split. I am thinking that the reasons it is split is because comparisons probably depend on the age of the vinyl that is being compared. My theory is that as it ages it gets a bit more of a beige...

It related to a '93 Seafarer, not a '83, but here is my post on the same subject, along with lots of details on what I ended up doing... http://www.greatgrady.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15222#p102340

All the "bad" gas is gone... all burned in vehicles after separating and discarding both the water layer and the ethanol layer, then mixing about 50/50 with 93 octane fresh gas. Absolutely no adverse effects in case anyone cares. Regarding the tank, the new one is in service and working well. I...

To quote myself... Did I say "next week"... HA. I can't believe it has been almost 2 months since I thought I would finish up. As usual, I got side tracked on a few other projects. ADD :) Regarding this project, I decided to drill out the screw holes to 3/8" and fill the voids with...

Does anyone know the size of the windshield track that the cover snaps clip into on a 1993 Seafarer? I understand that they are a standard size snap, but that the track along the windshield edge can be 3/4" or 7/8".

Yep, somehow we did go from drain tubes to scuppers :) although they are not too far removed. You are correct, only the cockpit scuppers are half submerged (due to the heavier 4 stroke). They drain to the stern. The motor well drains are above the waterline. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS made the...

I am thinking about using the Attwood 66553-3 SS Scupper to replace the plastic scuppers that are now below the waterline. They are about $60 a piece. Does anyone have any better ideas?
