    What kind of hours do you rack-up?

    If my math is correct, I went out around 15 times this season just for fishing. With crabbing and cruising, it's probably slightly more than that at around 20 total. I'm similar though in that I don't have to make long runs or anything like that as I've got a mooring buoy out in front of our...

    Repower or Upgrade?

    I'm a numbers guy, and most of the time the numbers have the biggest influence on something for me. How much did you pay for your boat? How much do you think you could sell it for? What would be the difference in price between what you think you could sell your boat for and what you'd spend on...

    '95 268 Islander Value

    I replied to your other post about the same topic in the for sale section a couple weeks ago... As mentioned there as well as here, there’s a 1991 on Boat Trader right now with a single 300 Etec and a trailer for $24k. Not sure what the actual condition of that boat is, if it needs transom work...

    Opinions on fair used price of 1994 Seaferer 228G 2009 250 Yamaha for Gulfstream down payment

    There's a 1997 on Boat Trader right now for $11,900 though it is a two stroke motor and it doesn't come with the trailer shown in the pictures, so idk maybe around the $15k range? I guess that I always compare what I paid for my boat, which was $26.5k to everything else. She's a 2004 Grady White...

    New Boat Questions - The basics

    As mentioned, I'd scrap the old electronics as the majority of the lot appear to be at least 25-30 years old and I personally wouldn't trust them. You can use your smartphone or a tablet and get Navionics or another marine GPS app that'll give you your location as well as your depth at the very...

    IN THE DARK

    It looks like the original was likely an Attwood 13-103 cockpit light, where a Google search didn't pull anything up with that model number, of which it would make me assume it's long since been discontinued or there's been a change of model number or two since then. They appear to still make...

    advice for first winter in PNW

    I think you'll be just fine with a brand new boat that only has 70 hours on the motors. If you're that worried about it, you could always have Jacobsen's Marine in Edmonds winterize the boat for you. If you bought the boat locally, that's likely the Grady White dealership that you got it from...

    advice for first winter in PNW

    What are the condition/age of the batteries? I bought my boat back in October of 2021, ran the boat for two seasons just fine and then at the end of the 2023 season, I had to buy two brand new Interstate brand batteries when I took my boat out of the water, as the old ones wouldn't start up the...

    2004 330 Express live well shock

    Just confirmed, I've actually got a PDF version of the 2004 Grady White Parts List on my computer that I'll see if I can upload, but for the live well it's the first part number of 10-296. Which per Google says is the above mentioned Ameritool brand and it says it's a 30 lb shock per the GW...

    Welcome aboard... the fishing started off kind of slow for us this year in MA 9 on the southern part of Whidbey Island and then picked up like crazy throughout September. Had at least a half dozen kings, one of which was a very nice fish at just under 34" long. Then the humpies and silvers came...

    Testing the waters............

    There’s a 1991 on Boat Trader right now with a single 300 Etec and a trailer for $24k. Not sure what the actual condition of it is, if it needs transom work or anything else as well, etc. That being said, a transom replacement can cost upwards of $10k or more. So maybe anywhere from $12k-$20k...

    2004 330 Express live well shock

    I imagine they’re likely the same between a 2004 and a 2007 but don’t hold me to that. The different shocks are on page 130 of the catalog and appear as though the shock is a 10-296, 10-661 or a 10-675 depending on which one you need. If you do a google search for “Grady white shock 10-296” it...

    Shipping from Punta Gorda to cape cod?

    Just make sure you do your research/homework on the topic at hand, as unfortunately another member had an issue when transporting his boat with a shipping company last year. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/shiply-is-horrible.37676/
