Like that analogy! Needed a laugh. As to the batteries first set lasted two years this set three.

I have had several Grady’s over many years and my 2019 235 Freedom is a great boat for the family. For the life of me I can’t seem to enjoy this boat as it should be enjoyed. Lots of little things screws snaps etc and now despite trickle charging replacing the batteries again. It’s not the...

What is monel? Fit in a staple gun?

We have owned Grady’s for many years but our current is a 2019 235. Boat rides incredible. Layout for our family is perfect. Just some nitpicking issues that just keep coming. We have replaced many snaps on the canvas and the posts keep coming out of the fiberglass. We live them annually and...

Pics attached!

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. For my 225 I added a second Bimini that zippered on to the front one to give me shade for the entire boat. Great for real hot days...

Thanks for the suggestions!

I had some white bumpers nailed to my pilings but after few years they are pretty well shot. Think they were west marine. Anyone have suggestions where to buy bumpers I can attach to pilings that will last? I don't want fire hose. I am also am looking for suggestions for dock lighting. I...

Now thats funny!

I ordered the Grady, my fourth one. I posted this just to see if anyone knew about the Cobia brand. It just looked nice and I have not seen one in person before. Don’t think I could “try” another brand after owning a Grady. Just curious. Loved the post btw. Now in a few years with God’s blessing...
