Just ordered this. Exactly the advice I was hoping for from this forum. Thank you, folks!

Team Grady - I could use your advice. I have some black spots on the white caulking on by Grady. It looks like it could be mold, but when I've tried using a mold removal spray that I bought from West Marine, it didn't do much. Neither did standard "boat soap" products. What can I do to get rid...

I did have the splicing done by a pro. He's well-respected here in town ... but this is still not working. But your point about double checking the chain size is a good one.

Team Grady - I need your advice. I just purchased a Fisherman 236 and am wondering where the heck to display the name of the boat. The previous owner displayed the name on the side of the boat near the stern. I had originally been thinking about displaying the name on the transom instead, but...
