    Atlantic costal welding I believe is the company that made my tank. They also epoxy coat them.

    Insurance companies if something should happen. Anyone with any knowledge of buying would ask to at least see certificate sticker required on tank. I had one custom made for a dc172 McKee craft I owned. Not that expensive to have made. Considering the material cost. Good luck.

    281 Coastal Explorer Observations

    I agree 100 percent on Grady whites quality. Had a 2021 180 fisherman built had to sign contract so it was mine before built. By the way never do this. Boat has cracks and defects all over it . Believe it was miss handled during transport. Gelcoat cracks everywhere. Had back to dealer four...

    Freedom 235 Gunwale Cracks

    Took owner of a brand new 2021 180 fisherman. Cracks all over the gunwale. Boat was order I owned it the day I signed the paperwork. Back to dealer four times never completely repaired. If it is easily repairable I wonder why mine wasn’t done correctly. Good luck with your repairs.

    Looking for boat names that incorporate Jenny or Jen...

    Just put a Roman numeral 2 after either name if you really like it. Did that with my second boat. Buyer of first boat kept the name.

    2021 180 fisherman

    Did hire a marine surveyor from the Delaware area, for some reason two weeks in he backed out. Believe he said talking with coworkers wasn’t a good idea for them to be involved.

    Cut all ties with Grady White and Taylor Marine in Delaware and Maryland. They win got their money don’t care at all about customer satisfaction. Don’t believe it’s good luck but renaming the boat. “All cracked up” it is very fitting for this boat. Be very careful and fully inspected any boat...

    2021 180 fisherman

    It’s all about the money, they really don’t care about the customers. I tried to voice my problems on their website can’t remember address. They wouldn’t post it, no surprise.

    If I could find third party Grady won’t cover warranty on repairs. Basically my problem at that point.

    2021 180 fisherman

    Bert Kelley customer relations, been working with him for over a year now I believe. Sounds nice enough to talk to my only option for repair is Taylor Marine Delaware or Maryland. No one else will get involved in repairs, don’t want to own the problem. Bottom line Grady White wins, probably sell...
