Is it still available?

Those look nice, I like the flip up bolster. Do they fit the stock pedestal or do you need to replace that as well?

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement swim platform for my Grady? All I can find at marine stores and on websites are full replacements with new brackets. I’d like to just replace the platform if possible.

I am trying to get a new rub rail for my '95 Seafarer. The sizes listed are all fairly close to each other. Is there a standard size per year or do I need to buy a micrometer to measure the height and width of the rub rail in order to get a proper replacement?

I am going to install some mooring whips on my seawall. I am fairly confused by the limited instructions that came with them. Do I mount the whips for the aft and spring line cleats or do I mount them for aft and bow?

Has anyone redone the upholstery on their 226 or similar boat? I need to replace the four aft seat cushions and I'm wondering if I should go with the standard set up or replace the two stern backrests or do a wraparound bolster for the sides and onto the backrests. I'm not sure if that would be...

OK thanks

Stupid question - is it normal for water to pour out of the prop hub after tilting the motor out of the water? I never really noticed this before but it's only the second time out this year and I can't for the life of me remember if this is normal operation. I just had my impeller and lower unit...

Wow! I love that! I have the same set up as Jeff, empty space forward of that area. I wonder if I could have a smaller access made for that area. Lack of storage is one of my biggest issues.

Wow, thanks for the info! I am going to take another shot at it when I get back from vacation next week.

I noticed that my trim tabs stopped working yesterdat. There is a slight click when I hit the switch sometimes but no motor or pump sounds. I read a post about the location of the pump being under the starboard bunk in the small storage area (and confirmed with a friend who has a 94 24' Grady)...

I'll be on here ranting or raving about it depending on how it holds up.

I honestly I'm not sure what the brand name is, I had the marina pop it in. I'm very happy with how it turned out though.

I had a teak flooring put down on my boat to cover up some pot holes from the first owner (who had a habbit of dropping cannonball sinkers on the deck) and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Cant wait to get her in the water again!

Does anyone know how I would go about installing a pulpit and windlass anchor? After a few fall fishing trips of pulling an anchor out of the muck in heavy wind I think that would a good off season investment. Would I have to buy a pulpit and railing from Grady? Does Grady even sell pulpit kits...
