    Do you own it just because you paid for it??

    Hey, guess what showed up in the mail today... Right! The title for "MY BOAT". The dealer (and the Grady factory rep) both said last Friday it would get here this week and today I own a Grady 282. After almost 8 months the title appeared in the mailbox and I finally own my boat!!! I really need...

    Do you own it just because you paid for it??

    Question: If the Boat House took the 282 in on trade would/should the title reflect the dealer in the process or would the boat and motors be transferred directly to me from the first owner? Will the paper work show the dealer in the loop? I am getting more worried about all of this.

    Do you own it just because you paid for it??

    First… Thanks for all of the support. I know, I have learned lots from this experience. We love our 208 and are hooked on Grady Whites. It is a lucky guy who can find a boat his wife loves! To reply to Pez Vela: I do not have any info on the owner. I only know his name, but the dealership has...

    Do you own it just because you paid for it??

    I know I should have done something by now. They kept saying give us another week or two and it will be there. I called the owner of The Boat House (who was suppose to find out what was going on and the status of the new titles) only to find out he was on vacation.. He had told me last week that...

    Do you own it just because you paid for it??

    It is a used boat... traded in on a new bigger Grady. I checked with SC DNR several weeks ago and there is a clear title on all, but in the original owner's name, not mne. I gave the dealer a check for the full purchase price, which he cashed that day. I do agree that people need to be very...

    Do you own it just because you paid for it??

    My wife and I went and looked at a nice Grady White 282 in early October 2008. We loved the boat and after a sea trial made a deal with the owner of the dealership and wrote him a check that day. We made arrangements for him to deliver the 282 and pick up our 208 for some major service ($3,000...

    Hardtop make sense?

    208 hardtop Hi, I have a 208 with a custom hardtop which my wife and I love. We also have a 282 with a factory hardtop. We live in South Carolina but use the boats year round and would not have one without a top!

    Tilt and Trim Problem/question

    Hey, I was too quick to respond… I went down to try and clean the single control this afternoon, it is a sealed switch so I can not clean it, but while I was working on switch I did notice that the starboard engine when I just worked it alone up and down was gurgling when it first started to move.

    Value of an 01' Sailfish?

    I just bought (three weeks ago) a 2001 228 Sailfish from a Grady White dealer (it was a trade in) in great condition with 225 OX66s, low hours, good electronics, new bottom paint, waxed top and hull, delivered 150 miles. The dealer found a problem with the tilt and trim and kept the boat a...
