    Southwest Florida Grady Owners

    That is terrible to hear. This is going to be a rough one for a while. It's going to take years before we are functioning as a community like before the storm. I live in SW Cape, about a 3 minute jeep ride to Matlacha, there is nothing left of it. All the colorful 100 year old structures are...

    Southwest Florida Grady Owners

    Good evening all, I wanted to check in to see how many Southwest Florida Grady owners were here. First off I wanted to wish you and your families well as this storm was a true S.O.B. I live right in the heart of this disaster and 5 days later still don’t have power. Unfortunately, my boat was...

    New Grady quality

    I took delivery of a 325 Freedom back in February. The boat has been great. There have been several minor issues that have been or are being taken care of. I think it comes down to the dealer. I believe I have a great dealer in SW Florida. They sell several lines of boats but they have a guy...

    Rope Splicing

    That’s what Black Horse said. They thought the line was undersized. I went with what was on there, however, I believe this line will break again. 5200 pounds to hold a 12k pound boat does not sound right.

    Rope Splicing

    Boat is a 325 Freedom, 1/2" line rated for 5200 pounds and 1/4" chain. I was near the beach with some crashing waves. I ordered a new rope and chain. I went 25' chain instead of the 15' that was on there.

    Rope Splicing

    Thanks for all the replies guys. Yes, I can't figure out what would cause it to pop like that. I am just glad I was still on the boat setting the stern anchor when it happened. There were probably 30 boats pretty close and that could have been a disaster. The boat is only 8 months old and I have...

    Rope Splicing

    Thanks for the quick replies. The rope is 8-ply. For the life of me I can’t believe and don’t know how this rope broke. It shredded about 6’ behind the chain.

    Rope Splicing

    Does anyone know who does rope splicing in South West Florida? My anchor line broke today and I need to get it spliced back on to the chain. Just lucky I was able to find the anchor.

    Fusion Stereo - No Sound

    Call Grady Customer Service. If you can get through to them they will tell you where the amp is.

    USB charging ports dead

    I am having the same issue with a brand new 325 freedom next to the port side seat. Both USB are not working. They work everywhere else on the boat so was not that big of an issue. Will pull it out this weekend to see if the wires are connected. I just noticed this last weekend. glad I found...

    Very poor ttop finish

    I just took delivery of a 325 Freedom back in February. I had a hole in the about 1' wide about the gelcoat just above the windshield. Surprised it ever made it out of QC. I have a really good dealer down here in South Florida and he brought it to my attention upon delivery. My dealer took care...

    Marine Stereo Power

    Thanks for the insights guys. I will pull the head unit out to get to the Amp to see if it has adjustment. The amp is behind the head unit in the bathroom area. It’s only 6 screw to pull out the bed unit.

    Marine Stereo Power

    Was out again today, had a couple of friends with me and they mentioned the same thing. Why can’t you hear the radio when running? I will probably need to take it back to the dealer. On the dash head display there are 4 zones. The 4 speakers under the roof are paired together as zone 1. The two...

    Marine Stereo Power

    Morning all, I recently took delivery of a new 325 freedom with an upgraded stereo, amp, sub and 6 speakers. My issue is the system is not putting out the way I think it should. It sounds fine when not running. However, at cruise you can barely hear it. Even when the volume is turned to max. I...
