    Height of Grady White Tournament??

    Trailer is a Sea Lion double axel with rollers. I will get the real measurement before I do anything I just want to get a ballpark right now to see if it's even an option because I am meeting with an architect before I can get to the boat. Thanks

    Height of Grady White Tournament??

    I have a 2003 Tournament 22ft. Was wondering if anyone that has one (2003 or newer) could measure the height from the top of the windshield to the ground while it's on the trailer. Rebuilding after Sandy and considering a garage for boat storage but the boat is still out for repair and I won't...

    Looking at a Tournament 225 - Advise? - Update, Pics added

    I purchased the same boat and motor as you but 2003. I did have a corrosion problem with my yamaha. Seal under the powerhead corroded and oil was dripping down the crank shaft. All summer during the first season i saw a little oil in the water whenever I lowered the motor but the oil level never...

    Q for Tournament 225 owners

    The plug is a plastic bolt from the outside and a plastic nut on the inside. Looks like a real bitch to get at the inside part. Do you open your plug and get water regularly?

    Q for Tournament 225 owners

    Hey Mike! Never made it to the boat Wednesday but got there today. Distance from the tip of the bow straight down to about where my bottom paint line would extend is approximately 40 inches. Surprised me. Looks like more to the naked eye but I guess when they are on a trailer it's deceiving...

    225 Tournament Power recomendations

    The 225 gives you more than what you need for safety. Just because they now come with 250's they are not by any means under powered with a 225. Any 22 tournament owner with a 225 on it will tell you the same. You will be very very happy with this boat no matter which motor is on it.

    225 Tournament Power recomendations

    You should be worried more about finding a Tournament than what engine it has. I live in Jersey and got mine from Maine. Weren't that many to choose from when I was looking. I have a 2003 with a 225 on it. I'm sure the 250 is nice but I don't want or wish for it. The 225 has plenty of power for...

    Q for Tournament 225 owners

    I will be visiting mine Wednesday and will measure for you if you get no answers before then. I have a question of my own though. When I trim up my Yammy 225 at the dock about 2 inches of the lower unit remain in the water (right in front of the intakes). The paint is peeling a bit and I get an...

    Tournament 255

    The bracket rules. The 225 Tournament is like a 24 footer compared to any other companies 22 DC because of the bracket. I live in North Jersey and checked out a Scout 22 DC at Lima and Son's. They were a Grady Dealer for a long time and switched to Scout They said that Scout is a better boat...
