New to me 248 “I've had 2 Grady’s before” The other day me and my buddy are docking in and out of neutral at a lower speed but faster then usual, I jumped off and the front hull hit at a 45 degree angle, I heard a cracking sound but when I looked, zero damage to my boat and the dock was cracking...

I will drain the bracket whenever my lazy ass boat yard wants to get to doing maintenance on my motor and boat, it might be a while cause whenever I ask how long they say, yes ‍

I have a 228g with a 200 4 stroke v6 and it’s fairly slow but has plenty of torque, I do 32 at 5500 wot

I think that this is the problem cause the Calvation plate on the motor or whatever it’s called sits right under the water but when the bracket is drained it rides just on top when I open her up.

O I have no clue about what prop pitch I have it was a expensive prop from the old owners, I keep it waxed and all with no bottom paint on the boat, I do trim properly when on plain but don’t get much a difference.

About 5 years ago I learned to drive a boat on a 1986 19ft grady and now I use a 1990 23ft grady for boating and both have been very solid in my life, they both have never let me down and don’t be scared of getting a 20-30 year old grady

The boat hull is mint and I just waxed it. It is a 1990 but even the guy that out in are electronics was impressed. I do have to say that one time I took out the bracket plug and a ton of water came out so I’m thinking it might be that cause the stuff that seals it to the boat is all cracked...

I have a lot of shallow spots around me in my river and inlet because people tend to not get the sand out and it fills up, so I blew out my gear case and prop, The gear case case looks good and my prop looks straight, I want to say it’s the same prop cause it’s straight but looks like It was...

Don’t know why I couldn’t spell when posting. Anyways I have a 80 gal tank and I normally use it for fishing offshore or going up and down the icw. I don’t mind it offshore cause I can’t go fast enough but in the icw it kinda sucks. I push 32mph at 5500 rpm with 1/4 of my 80 gal tank

Sorry for not being able to spell in the post for some reason, but it was used in freshwater up to 300 hours and I put another 200 on it, in salt water conditions. I hit 32 at 5500 at wot and it feels like it had good torque, but maybe the boat is just heavy

Sorry, don’t why I couldn’t spell at the time but I hit around 32 at wot at 5500

I have no clue why but my boat just feels slower then it has with a 02 200 4 stroke Yamaha, I can still rev it out and I will admit I do beat the hell outa I just want some input on why it feels a little slow. I might just be getting normal with a heavy underpowered boat, at 500 hours and 300...

Well thank yaul i gues I might need a longer rod and I need to kinda wing it out

Not Shure but I have a 1990 228g with big numbers on the side

So my 1990 228g hasn’t had the cabin used in a year, it’s basically a trash pile, but when I cleaned it out the center cushion in the cabin in front of the toilet seems to be stuck in the crack of the hatch and I can’t get either out, I might have a picture to post but I was able to get a pvc in...
