Welcome aboard, lots of great owners here.

That's a big-ass Grady :) Which color?

clydeinsocal - yessir, nothing like the Catalina channel when an North Easterly is blowing :)

Many interesting responses based on how everyone uses their boats, that tells me the Ride isn't for everyone. For me, as soon as I acquire my next boat, I'm installing them immediately. I had a chance last month to experience them on a 25 CC and couldn't figure out why the boat was so smooth...

And pictures. Need pictures!

Two guys, a big dually with an extra 100 gallon tank in the bed, the truck full of fast food wrappers... They probably drove straight through

Holy cow I had no idea; thanks for the great explanation!

Why & when do you pull a dredge? Is this something common to the East Coast?

I used U-Ship; make sure you torque the trailer wheels before they set off as they'll cannonball the delivery (they get paid on delivery). I purchased a 29' Grady on the East Coast and they arrived in California 2 days later...

Agreed; it's simply the modern equivalent of a con artist

Oil changes are approx $250 (So Cal) but I take it to my mechanic as opposed to the joints using salad oil, I want to ensure I have the best lubricants. The shop also changes the filters and water separator. That being said, it doesn't need tune ups so as mentioned it probably evens out. What...

There's a YouTuber 'Out on the 'Reef' who installed the Ride on his pilothouse; whereas he tends to repeat himself he did a great job with the videos and details the installation. If you have recessed trim tab pockets on your transom apparently they need to be filled so flat transoms are ideal...

He's doing these (or AI is creating them) on a number of brands; I'll take a Grady any day!

It's not that no one cares, the issue is the sheer number of scam sites popping up, and many are AI-generated

I tow with a Ford F250 diesel, other than oil changes I'm not sure what you mean by 'expensive to maintain'?
