    Transducer placement on your Grady 330?

    I ran the boat to the Bahamas yesterday from south FL. Tracked bottom the entire way across at 30 knots - inlet to inlet. Could never do that on my old boat with a 1kw (non chirp).

    330 Express - Glass enclosed hard top or standard?

    I'm pretty sure the holes are already there when you get the boat without outriggers. At least I'm sure they are in the frame and I'm 99% sure they're in the top too - just capped.

    330 Express - Glass enclosed hard top or standard?

    I would say it depends on where you fish out of. If you fish in colder weather up north, then it may be worth it. Although I liked the enclosed hardtop I opted for the classic lines, well because I like the classic lines, and I do like the wind in my hair (whatever I have left) during the warm...

    Transducer placement on your Grady 330?

    I have a 370 express and I installed an in-hull "shoot thru" transducer and I'm very happy with it. We placed it mid-ship in an area that David Neese (GW VP of Eng.) had recommended. I think there's a similar spot on the 330. Just outside the door to the head in the cabin, there's a plate in...

    370 Express with trip 300s or 350s??

    Thanks all. I've requested some of the suggestions you all have recommended... and for a few the factory was ahead of us. They were very receptive. Here are a few more pics. She's coming together nicely. They send me pictures every few days since my factory visit.

    GW Helm Chairs

    I was just at the factory last week. We were discussing putting a footrest on my new 2014 370 Express helm chair. I was told they were using Llebroc seats. Not sure if this is new across the line or just on the 370. www.llebroc.com
