    Wanted- Later Model 360, 370

    Hello all, I am a longtime member and 8 time Grady owner. Strayed away to Stamas for a bit and it was a great experience but coming back to old reliable GW. As title states looking for late model express GW. Prefer side door and no 350’s unless they are ready to be repowered. Conditions are...

    [Not Mine] Bargain Marlin NJ

    Decent deal but no generator, needs repower, etc. To be a prime example needs 100k+ of investment.

    55' of Grady White Beige 1-3/8 x 1/4 Flexible Vinyl Trim

    Was this the boat on Lynchburg Craigslist? If so I made an offer on it. Only reason I didnt further pursue was because IO found a new diesel Stamas I fell in love with. (My first "Non Grady" after owning 8 two of them being Marlins) If it is the same boat was quite a good deal! I know...

    Finally got it home

    I am sure you know this but make sure all the exhaust hoses are tight and not dry rotted on that genny. Also I would replace all Carbon monoxide sensors in cabin. I know someone who lost their life to a gas genny. Not to be morbid but I would be remiss not to mention it. Boat looks amazing congrats!

    275 Freedom Livewell Standpipe

    Hey Guys I need to buy a new livewell standpipe. This is the same Standpipe I had on my 232, 275, and 300 Marlin. Anyone have any idea what the diameter is? I wish I could measure mine but my kid dropped it overboard accidentally. Thanks!

    Yamaha Exhaust bubbles at Idle (F250s)

    Not a 100% certainty but that is one of the symptoms of midsection exhaust corrosion. however my old 2005 F250’s did it occasionally as one stayed a bit more revved than the other after docking. Neither of them ever had the dreaded corrosion. I would have your mechanic scope the engine...

    GW craftmanship in general Freedom 307 in particular

    The 2016 and forward 307 has composite stringers, transom, and hardtop coring which is far better than the older ones. I have a 2016 275 and I feel that it is better finished than my older 2007 232 and 2005 Marlin 300 I owned. Better wiring layout and better fiberglass coverage on wood below...

    300 Marlin - 250’s or 300’s?

    I owned a 2005 Marlin with Twin 250's for 4 seasons. The 250's are just fine but 300's of course are preferable. I put over 500 hours on it and cruised all through the Bahamas all the way to Cave cay Exuma. Loaded to all hell the boat still broke 40 mph wide open. Typically 42-43 mpt WOT...

    2002 33 Express with Yamahas 300 ???

    I think it is very common for people to list boats after repowers. Repowering is a huge investment that is sometimes forced if a motor blows and if you sell when motors are relatively new you recover your investment back. Also a lot of people repower thinking they will fall in love with their...

    Actual weight of 300 marlin

    I towed my old marlin home with a 1794 Tundra..... Hairy as hell. However a 2500 would have been ok. 3500 better. I slip kept it but if i towed it regularly a duallie would be the vehicle of choice.

    Fisher Panda generator problems

    Did you have Hartman Yacht look at it? I had an issue once with my FP and after they came out 650 hours later she has been literally flawless.
