    Looked at buying 303 but there are a few Protectants. Are they all the same? Vinyl? Marine? Which one is everyone using

    Cushion maintenance

    So I have always washed my cushions when I wash my boat and put them away in either a storage compartment or my shed. I was at a marina this weekend and talked to a Grady owner that said he leaves them on all the time then pointed to neighboring boats and they left their cushions in place some...

    Popped open the led light in the back of the hardtop to look around. We are installing the antenna and have to run the wires through the hard top. Found a few wires not connected to anything looked like speaker wires and some other black and blue pair. How can I find out what’s been prewired...

    Personal mods

    Can’t seem to find a thread with personal favorite mod to your boat. So here goes unless someone can better direct me. Would love to see what you folks have done.

    95 Tournament helm seat,parts source

    Try Pompanette directly or your local dealer which may actually be cheaper than going directly. My local Grady dealer got me seat parts faster and cheaper than what pomp quoted

    Freedom Back to Back Seat

    The ends of these seats are meant to support your head or feet when after sitting down on the middle you lay down. They are not meant to support any kind of weight other than that without bending the small metal support arms.

    Grady or Cobia

    Wow just saw a new 261 Cobia with twin 200 Yamahas Nice boat easy access to mechanicals, everything labeled in the electrical department. Screws holding on the hardtop were large stainless not painted, with plastic washers to prevent rust early. Rode nice and dry. Plenty of deck storage. I just...
