    Sold the boat :(

    mboyatt. You have a point but that's just yet another bill to pay. We're hopeful that the Sundancer takes care of all our needs including the occasional fishing here and there. But thanks for all the support, I appreciate it.

    Sold the boat :(

    We're looking at a 320 sea ray sundancer. I know.. Totally different boat but we really haven't done much fishing so we figured why not!

    Sold the boat :(

    We had a 2003 Grady White 282 for just about three years, our fourth Grady, and just sold it last week. Looking to upgrade outside of the Grady White brand I was initially ecstatic, only because the boat was on the market for a couple months. Now I'm realizing how much I miss not just the boat...

    I'm going Sunday too. Just saw that it's supposed to rain. Hope that holds off.

    Norwalk Boat Show

    I'll be taking my grady down to the boat show this weekend. Looks like the weather will be perfect. Hope for a great time. Especially since I'm in the market for a newer boat! :lol:

    throttle sticks

    We bought our 2003 282 Salfish a couple years ago and we had that same problem. We went right to the Yamaha dealership and they knew it was the throttle cable. Once it was replaced shifting was MUCH easier. So I recommend replacing them.

    New Member to the Grady Family!

    Welcome to the new boat!! We have a 2003 282 Sailfish and absolutely love it. I'm sure you'll get used to it quickly like my family and I did. Great purchase and look forward to hearing all about it!

    Anybody have thoughts on a fun trip as a group?

    We have yet to go on an official "trip" on our Grady and it would be great if we could take a trip as a group. The summer is quickly coming to an end so the sooner the better!

    Pump out problem

    Hi Ron, We have a macerator on board. But I was talking about about when we get pumped out from a land-based pump. Now we plugged the vent and the high pitched noise seemed to be coming from where the waste tank is. I just have no idea where to go next. Thanks.

    Anyone in? Stamford Harbor to NYC

    We're taking a trip to NYC from Stamford, CT harbor for the day on August 9th (if the weather is on our side). We're looking for advice, good places to stop for lunch and dinner, and any takers if you'd like to join.

    Pump out problem

    I feel like all I do is post problems on the forum but I'm always looking for ways to make the boat like new. So since we bought the boat we've experienced a problem when trying to pump out our waste tank. You can hear a very high pitched noise when the pump is hooked up. This is a real...

    F225 possible hydraulic problem?

    We have 2003s with 350hrs. We've never replaced those so that could potentially be the problem. I'll take a look at it when I haul the boat to get it painted.

    F225 possible hydraulic problem?

    One motor does stutter a little when it comes up. So would adding oil fix that?

    F225 possible hydraulic problem?

    Dangit. I was hoping for an easy fix. What do you think the pricing will be for the repair?
