    What's the Best Way to Sell a Grady?

    . I just went to the car show, crowded and if buying a new car or truck is any evidence of how the market is doing, than I would say we are in a recovery. I saw 2 guys on their phones making deals on vehicles on the floor, one was a F350 diesel with all the toys. Buyers were everywhere and it...

    Winter storage question

    We have a standard 2 car garage that is 25x30. The overhead door was not the issue but the overall length and width of the trailer with the boat on it was a lot more than the boat alone. The largest boat we ever fitted was a BW 17 foot montauk on the trailer. We put it in corner to corner taking...

    Pursuit os345 vs. Grady 330 express

    I think the Annapolis Boat Show yesterday October 14 had both models. I could not find a local Pursuit dealer but the dealer from Morehead City was very helpful. I was looking at Grady and they had a lot of boats and 4 different Grady dealers, lots of advise.

    Grady in the driveway after Irene

    sorry to see it. We pull our boats around Labor Day too many times because of the Hurricane forcasts.

    hydraulic steering

    Hi, when we repowered with a new engine we replaced all hydrallic steering lines and controls, fuel lines, guages and elctrical lines. Cost was about $20,000 but worth it compred to buying a new boat.

    Anyone with a late-model Seafarer in the Pa-Del-Md area?

    As I said in a previous post, when is the factory going to offer a showroom or warehouse or even a grassy lot, where buyers can compare their different models. We thought of buying a new boat last spring but all we could find for comparing models was a catalog. Even the dealers at the boat...

    Meet & Greet Grady-White President, Chris Carroll

    Another thought for Chris Carroll. How about a factory showroom where buyers could come and see the whole lineup of boats. The don't have to be in the water. Most buyers of $100k-200K boats would like to see the different models side by side before buying. Catalog buying from pictures of a large...

    New purchaser - question about asking price/NADA

    I had a total loss last year of one of my boats, the boat was like new, very low hours and everything was A+, I had service records, a report from the servicing dealer confirming A+ condition and I had lots of pictures too. the Insurance company would not payout more than NADA even though I had...

    Future Grady Owner Asks For Advice

    I would not worry about warranty service, if it is bad enough the factory will get involved. Otherwise you can always find a really good shop that can take care of your problems, just ask other boaters. My grady dealer is not high on doing warranty work. Super slow and he looks for other...

    Some people are unreal !!!!!

    we have a no wake zone too, typically boats are putting down 2 footers, marine police look the other way, we have learned to live with it, it's not worth getting aggravated

    Suggestions for Securing ahead of Irene

    We are in the cone so we pulled the boat, the yards (3) have been busy pulling boats for 2 days now, even the waterman boats are on the hard. I would not stay in the water if in the cone of the possible path, better safe than having to fight with an insurance adjuster later.

    F250s on a 300 marlin 2006 Temperture

    sounds like the water pump or the water passage ways are a little undersized, poor engineering if so? I wonder if the 300's and 350's have the same read at cruising RPM.
