    2003 330 Express Speaker Wiring

    Pelagicmagic, While I have not messed with the stereo system in my 33, I did have to replace the rudder indicator on my autopilot. In doing so, I learned GW uses many access panels which are removable. I say this because you mentioned the headliner and I believe the softer part of the...

    Looking for ready construction flybridge

    I have also been contemplating adding a tower to my 33 express. Looking for information about this. How did it change the boats performance? Does the boat roll more with the added weight up there? I would love to have the added visibility while on the troll, but do not want to sacrifice the...

    radar or satellite receiver?

    dale1, I don't have any actual experience with the satellite weather, but if you are getting into offshore fishing I would say you want an open array radar. Several reasons, if you are heading out or coming back in during the hours of darkness or in weather or fog the radar is going to assist...

    Grady White Hardtop mounted center Rigger

    Has anyone mounted a center rigger to their hardtop? If so, where did you mount it and did you add any support? I have recently added a center rigger to my hardtop on a 33 express and had a backing plate made, installed and welded on to the existing pipework, but it is still slightly flexing...

    That's correct, I have twin 350s. BTW, if I were to go with the 36, I personally think the triple 300s is the way to go...

    Anybody go from a Marlin 300 to a 330 Express

    Fischer, I bought a 2008 33 Express this past summer and came from a 26 center console. My experience with the 33 so far (I have put just over 110 hours on it) is a very favorable one. I have been very impressed with the boat for multiple reasons. When looking, I too, was considering the 36...

    Repower 330 with 300's or 350's

    From what I understand you will have to go with the 300s. Grady had to beef up the transom in 2008 to be able to support/handle the weight of the 350s. If I am not mistaken the new 300s a actually weigh less than the older 250s so it is not an issue of moving up to the 300s
