Ok... well the DF200A's are about 75 lbs lighter per unit, for a total of at least 150 lbs less weight.

Saw this when browsing online for boats, might be a decent boat for a repower or just running it with the original motor. Doesn't look like it comes with a trailer though. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2000-grady-white-adventure-208-10066840/

Well if this is really 6" like we all claim it is, then yes those extra 2" can really make a big difference... But getting back to the point, pun intended, I'm guessing Grady White must have a pretty decent customer desire for people wanting something like this, or I don't imagine they'd have...

I think that you're looking at the wrong model of Suzuki's. Per Google, each of the OP's 2006 ETEC 250's weigh approximately 516-530 lbs depending on the model, shaft length and so forth. Comparatively, a brand new Suzuki DF200A weighs 531 lbs for the 25" shaft with the digital/fly by wire...

I'm sure that Skunk Boat will be along here shortly, but he repowered with Suzuki 200's on his 265 Express and seems to highly recommend them to anyone doing a repower with the same or similar boat. Of which the 265 Express has essentially the same width of beam that your boat does and a very...

I again know that it's not an apples to apples comparison here... but I took a video on my phone last summer of myself cruising, of which I was at right around 22 mph @ 3,700 rpm and burning roughly 7.5 gph of fuel. I rarely touch the trim tabs unless the conditions require it, but usually leave...

Probably the optimum cruising speed/rpm...

I think that the reason why the boat could feel a bit underpowered is because it likely is. I've got a 2004 Grady White 228 Seafarer with a single Yamaha F225 on her... of which I honestly wouldn't want to go any lighter on the horsepower, especially since it's a decent sized, heavier boat. My...

I have no personal experience with the model in question, that being said... a quick search on the Grady White website shows that a 257 Fisherman with twin Yamaha F200's on it had a test weight of 6,646 lbs. That figure includes "persons, fuel, water, gear, engines & accessories." What it...

If they haven't already... send a direct message to Seafarer228G telling him that you donated and would like the ads removed. When I donated, I think it was less than an hour or two before the ads were removed from my account. Well worth the $10 donation in my opinion.

Lol... the boat in the second picture looks to have an "RI" for the registration numbers on the side of it, which obviously represents the state, this case being Rhode Island, not New Jersey which is what it should be if the video is correct. Not that the registration numbers alone is suspicious...

Looks like you already edited the title of the post with the price in it. If you want to edit the body of the post, it's the second button from the left underneath your original posting that says "Edit".

Good looking boat and good luck with the sale... I do believe an asking price is required to post on here?

A couple of thoughts on the matter here.... first would be do you pull the boat out of the water every time you're done for the day or do you have it wet slipped somewhere? When you do pull the boat out, do you pull the drain plug out of the boat and leave it out until you get back home? I ask...

It is... I bought my boat back in Maryland in October of 2021 from a Grady White dealership, of which when I bought my boat, there was a brand new 2021 Grady White 228 Seafarer there called "Last Chance" that was getting it's annual winterization done to it. I asked about the boat and the...
