    First Grady - Which Model Would Work Best For Us?

    aGrady has been out of the inboard market for quite some time. Good overall boat for your needs and family size would be a 22 for Seafarer. The Seafarer has a cuddy cabin and walk around and a few different transoms. I believe a swim platform was available on all mode;;s. It is a good all-around...

    Bow in or stern in when docking

    We have a slip that has lots of wind and strong tide currents and for years I docked stern in with no bow thruster - not easy but doable on most days.. Many boats in the marina with thrusters have tough times docking. A few years ago I notice the police boats and Sea Tow boats were all docking...

    Time for an electronic upgrade

    Hook up - thanks for the info - I suspect the size is similar between the two boats. I like the flush mount you did on lower helm . Does the 8612xsv flush mount you have installed just two pieces of starboard. That set up allows for much larger screen that the units that fit entirely in the...

    Aluminum Transom Cap Replacement

    Mine was 3,500 in 2022- This was removing twin engines and glassing over the applying the vinyl cap. I assume your boat is single engine, it sounds reasonable

    Winterizing a 232 Gulfstream

    Some people will use a plunger cup aattached to anti freeze jug and run the pump to suck anti freeze through it. Some say they just run the pump with the seacocks once the boat is out of the water. that clears water from the pump and anything before pump will drain out. The head I just add a...

    question about varying twin engine trim and boat list

    I have had twins for years and honestly have never noticed any difference to the level of the boat if one engine was trimmed higher or lower - guess it it probably would impact speed and fuel consumption. The only way I have ever noticed any variance in trim levels is either a visual or gauge...

    282 Sailfish transom stainless cap

    Grady White Dealers have the vinyl reopen placement - I had mine done last year. They also glassed over the open gap before applying the new cap - looks great and double sealed.

    Befor I saw the price I would have said 40's. Big if here is have the engines exhaust been replaced, If not it is a prime candidate for the infamous dry exhaust issue.
