I would certainly get an independent survey if you are unsure of what to look for. Major systems may include transom, stringers, fuel tank, outboard, and wiring. Hull damage under bottom paint may also be harder to spot and I passed on a nice boat that had covered up major damage that was not...

I missed the show. I have only been to a few but really wanted to go this year as I may be in the market and still not 100% sure what I want. Regarding boat prices, I was ready to upgrade around 2019/2020 and was going to add a small boat to my fleet. I was not willing to wait in those long...

Unfortunately, during the pandemic, short supply drove up prices of new and used into scary levels. new boats exceeded double their price in a 2-3 year span. Used boat are also holding some ground but overall prices have softened a bit. However, new boats seem to be riding out that last wave of...

Would you know the tow weight?

When are you looking to sell it and how many hours on that outboard? Has it been scoped or repaired for the potential exhaust corrosion issues?

The Wise boat company makes them for Grady. When I ordered a new set from (the dealer) Grady they were shipped directly to me from Wise. They may not sell direclty to you but may be worth a shot?

OP, if you are referring to the dealer in Middleton, you should reconsider ever going there. They screwed up my nephews yamaha outboard and left him literally dead in the water. Beyond the new parts milking of over 5k and 3 months they took to fix, they did not tighten down one of the new carbs...

Voltage regulator bad? Cables at the regulator also possibly suspect? I had a similar issue, went to replace the regulator that intermittently worked and there was a loose wire that was grounding out. I have a spare regulator now.

Sad to hear this. I have wanted a 228 for a while. I still do and would only buy used regardless. However, no more new models is never good for resale for sellers in a hesitant market nor a demand based market for buyers. I really wished they made a 222 CC model with a bracket like the 228...

I did this job in the past on my GW using the stock aluminum. I realized at the time I may end up having to do it again and used 3m 4200. This time, I'm looking to use vinyl or 316 stainless. I called a Grady dealer and they said they sell the vinyl to do it by the foot. I think he said it was...

Anyone know who makes these for Grady when they are part of a build?

Have never done this before but have looked into it for someone. The amount of work it may be to remove the tank would certainly warrant a new tank for sure. If you have soft wood, you likely have more going on there do deal with than just a tank. If you love the boat and it is worth it to you...

I see that this model is listed at 3500 hull weight? Seems light compared to the 222, 230, and some other models? I think I can do the math with adding twin outboards (150's), fuel, t-top, gear, trailer weight, etc. Guessing we are pulling about 7K worth of weight with a moderate setup...

Saw another picture of a 180 with this same issue so seems common. Again, regarding the location, it is an acceptable spot. I’m going to fabricate something within the next week and will try to post pictures. My son might also be able to print me one with his 3d printer.

It is s It is stock and works fine. Better there than someone putting their drink behind the window and emptying on the controls. Not a terrible amount of room on the console otherwise.
