Welcome. Not sure about why you're still seeing ads. A modest donation should be all that is needed. You'll know it worked when under your name it will change from New Member to GreatGrady Captain.

Just saw this thread for the first time. Very admirable, and inspirational -- makes me rethink whether my biggest problems even matter that much. It's more than an attitude, it's your character -- your will makes you a lucky dude indeed.

I'll enjoy coming along with you as you upload your pics. Just south of Savannah on the Tennessee River, I found the Shiloh battlefield memorial park to be well-preserved and moving. I had only a couple hours but could have spent the day there and still missed a lot. If you brought bass...

I'll be asking the dealer, but I'm not sure what is the lesser of bad fixes. What I'd prefer is the one that doesn't need regular re-fixing.

Thanks. I will have the 100-hour service coming up and am making a list of "minor" items like this. Sounds like trying to seal that strip back may be a temporary fix, as would caulking -- either way something I'll need to keep after.

From some on-line research, not personal knowledge, it was in 1998, at the transition to the more rot-resistant "Greenwood."

In two areas I have a separation of the rubberized strip at the interior side wall. (Not sure of the name of this strip, so I've called it a toe kick for now.) The most concerning, given the potential for water intrusion, is in the corner below the starboard side stepdown to the deck. I'll...

I was surprised about the number of reviews that raised concerns about the chair. Do you need to sit? Have you considered a harness instead?

I've e-mailed pictures and a description to the dealer. They'll forward to G-W. Have to say I'll be disappointed if G-W thinks that's meeting their build-quality standards.

I didn't see it until I unplugged the electrical power from the downriggers. But I don't know enough to be comfortable that over the years moisture wouldn't make it worse.

Thanks. Helpful info for my communication with the dealer.

After two months of ownership (in removing downriggers from Burnewiin mounts on both sides of a new 2025 Gulfstream), I got down on the deck below the gunwales and, looking up, was troubled to see delamination (moisture damage?) under both gunwales. See pics. I'm not even sure what I'm looking...

Prop walk doesn't seem to happen with counterrotating twins, so I can't understand how the props could lead to a list to port. I tried looking at the bow from in front of the boat when tied to the dock (on the starboard side), and it actually looked like it was listing to port a little. The...

Just to be clear, you're saying with a deep V hull there could be normal a list to port specifically, or rather a list either direction from time to time, based on wind or current?

I may have engines that are not aligned, or when raised together are not rising in the same degree (with starboard higher). The Yamaha CL7 readout shows different levels when they should be the same. I can't see a misalignment looking at the engines, so I suspect it's a calibration problem, but...
