Got more pictures but can’t get on photobucket, even after resetting the password. Man I hate computers and they hate me back. I’ll try later. The bigger hatch is 24”X14” and it was the most expensive in the catalog. If you go with plastic you definitely don’t want to go any bigger. I’m 225 lbs...

Not really sure how they handled the drain, I would say it’s open, it needs to drain. I was not there when they installed the new tank. Again I don’t believe outfit like that would take any chances and I trust them.

As per quote below; “Usually fuel level senders and the associated wiring are not sources of ignition and therefore would not normally require natural ventilation”. I must not have any more wiring in this compartment (and I know it’s sealed from other compartments) I don’t think Sea Centre would...

It’s a brand new fuel tank, all done in Sea Center Marina on BPK, all real professionals. They removed the blowers from old engine compartment and never reinstall them. Sea Center also custom tailor the tank outside to prolong the life of it. They told me I don’t need the blowers with my...

There was no foam in Aft spaces and we didn’t add any. Floor was completely redone, pricey but worth the money Blowers are used only with inboard engines; we got rid of it with outboard power. The grills got totally redone/covered with fiberglass and gel coated

Thanks, i really love that conversion. I'm sure you've noticed the size of the deck after conversion, and the 2013 Optimax is really sweet. Got a place in Backcountry that we like, it takes about 1.5hr one way doing 30knots, i burn about 20 galons. For that size and weight i think it's awesome.

Finally got some pictures in photobacket, you can check them at http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Leszek ... 7324038106 they not in particular order but you can see why i call it TANK

Thanks a lot, posted te question, no reply yet. Much appreciated

We are on the first (20' deep 60'wide) canal from US1, and I still should have some pictures of thresher sharks in my canal feeding on left overs from the fish I'd filet that night. I've seen quite few hammerheads when working (diving)of off Texas and Louisiana shores. Not much here. Always...

It's the best way, we did the same when living in Houston area and dreaming about the Keys. pulling our Wellcraft then or renting one here. finally we got bought out and moved in to the Big Pine Key. Grady was in the dreams then as well, now we own one, and is awesome, exactly as in the dreams...

got it, thanks a lot, looks like the right lead, much appreciated

Thanks Dennis, i'll follow up on the marine salvage, man i wish it was that easy with computers, I guess I'm old-timer and i don't really like computers. It was easier when my computer genius son-in-law was around, now when we moved to Big Pine Key (I'm on the East but all the way down almost...

Hey, I've never seen any other sharks than Nurse and Thresher on the Looe Key. You got to go to the Back-country to find Bull or Lemon Sharks. Don't get in the Bull shark territory. Who do you go with (if you buying a trip to Looe Key)? We live on the same canal as Strike Zone Charters. If...

Commercial diver here, its about 4 miles from my dock on Big Pine Key to Looe Key Reef, that's fun diving, than another 15 miles to the Wall about 3000' drop, you can get most of everything there. I flat love my Grady. Also want to say "Thanks for your service and dedication" to all Service...

Hey, it would be nice to know, maybe there is some bone yard with GW's you never know. Otherwise I'll definitely make me one. I'd spent a lot of dough to make sure my boat feels like a tank, no reinforcement needed. When i figure out how i can post a picture you'll be surprised. Real...
