    2018 Grady-White Canyon 306

    Thank you for directing me to the listing. I am in the price range that would put me into the 2007-2009 model years.

    1987 24' Grady CC Project - Miami

    Great work. Way beyond what I personally want to have a hand in going forward. I just replaced my fuel tank in a 1993 Escape last winter. So I have a good idea of what kind of material bills you must have.. (And now I am looking around at 27-28 GW CCs.... go figure) My tank drawings from GW...

    Fuel Smell

    1993 GW Escape. Last season I smelled fuel and knew it was only a matter of time before I had to replace the fuel tank. Had to remove console and cut out deck... All back together for this season though. And now I am wanting more waterline and a top to hide from the sun.

    283 vs 306 canyon

    I see that boat still listed with Baert here six months later. What do you know about this one? I wonder if there has been a survey done? I looked at it on Labor Day when Baert was closed. Having replaced a fuel tank in my 209 Escape this past year, I can't believe I am looking, but I am.

    Question on auto bilge pump wiring 209 Escape

    Dennis, we are thinking along the same lines as I don't see the reason for wiring the hot through the circuit breaker.... That said, I am not sure I have ever observed the bilge pump operating on its own at the dock or mooring. I most often saw the pump come on via the float switch when first...

    Question on auto bilge pump wiring 209 Escape

    1993 Escape. A lot of winter projects so a lot of parts and wiring were affected. Almost all back together. BUT.... no auto bilge function. Found a separated inline fuse. But it goes to a 40 amp circuit breaker.... This is a poor pic of the very dirty interior transom where the battery switch...

    Fuel Tank Replacement

    Mikey, this thread is 12 years old..... But, this past year, I paid 1600 for an 82 gallon tank for 1993 209 Escape. Almost all back together. DO NOT depend on GW drawings for your tank! Take yours out and give it to the fabricator. Mine did not match the drawings and I had a 200 dollar change...

    1993 209 Escape Fuel Tank Replacement

    Deck repair is complete, sanded and painted, even though the console covered the opening completely. I will post a pic of that before the console went back in, for prosperity. Because I do not see me ever having a reason to pull it out again.... This week we (the crew) will hook up new steering...

    1993 209 Escape Fuel Tank Replacement

    I found the deck patch was absolutely solid to stand on with just the West System Six 10 we used the other day. But, since I always overbuild... we ground around the seam and glassed in two layers of 17oz biaxial fiberglass cloth. Wetted and rolled out. (well actually the first pot kicked before...

    Switch Panel

    Got a pic of the back side? My concern is mapping the connections from both sides of the wiring harness

    Switch Panel

    And what does that leave you with to wire to the old harness? Rewire individually? This is not my strong suit. I can build fine. Electrical not so much...

    1993 209 Escape Fuel Tank Replacement

    Sorry not to have updated. Did not coat tank. Used 4200 to adhere half dozen small strips of starboard for the tank to lay on. Sanded down and painted the original wedges and cross pieces, as they were all in great shape, if discolored and ugly. Did not use rubber under the cross members as...

    Switch Panel

    Tell me more about you "had them wire it." I am on the backstretch of a fuel tank replacement on a 1993 209 Escape. New wheel and steering as well... So looking at the wiring harness and really questioning if this is the year to replace the panel and switches, or just plug and play with a few...

    ISO Console from 1999-2010 Escape 209

    Sent you a message. I was smelling it when I refueled last year so I had a good idea what shape it was in. No one had laid eyes on the tank in thirty years....
