    great bottom trip

    Sounds like a productive trip, congrats.. Yes, I fish the Gulf also and the regs. are driving me crazy, you can't hardly keep up with the changes. :bang But will keep on keeping on, it's not just the fish you catch or get to keep but just getting out there and unplugging..

    28 Marlin

    I'm all for going with an older boat, I could not afford a new one anyways if I wanted one. I bought my 93 Seafarer 2 years ago and had to do some repairs here & there but nothing major thank God. If your fairly handy you will be fine but if not go knewer... I did not get a survey as I'm fairly...

    Overnighter gas tank removal, anyone know the trick?

    Hey LT, Thanks for the tip, yes I checked the wiring at the pick-up end and gauge end cut a piece off on both and reinstalled but still off. I'm not going to sweat it for now, when it cools down and I stay in more I will pull the hatch re-core it and replace the sender. That deck came out...

    fuel tank for 1989 228G

    Hey Dave, That's a good observation being his is an 89 pre SeaV2 and mine is post and has the SeaV2 hull. Might make a difference, I got my dimensions from a Grady drawing also that I found online but it's dated 9/05/78 to fit 2250/22/23/24 and for all I know my actual tank dimensions might be a...

    Putting her to work

    Hey Dale, Nice video, I had no problems loading it. She's riding nice, a solid boat. My 93 Seafarer also has the SeaV2 hull and I'v been in some solid 3/4' foot stuff and just had to back off the throttle, not the stuff I want to be in all the time but she can take it. I was going to go out this...

    Fuel gauge/sender problems

    That's a great combo, I am enjoying my Seafarer as it's my first Grady (my 5th boat) and it was my goal to get into a Grady as their reputation is bar none and yes they are tanks. My 22' has taken on some tough seas in the Gulf coming back in as the weather changes from one hour to another...

You can go on the Grady White site, they have the original catalogs...

    Fuel gauge/sender problems

    Great info Roberth, With your confirmation the WEMA will be the route I go. Put it this way, I have not heard any negatives on them and I like that clean plug/connector they have, should help keep some of the corrosion away. By the way I see you have an awesome set up / 92' Sailfish w newer...

    Fuel gauge/sender problems

    Hey Dennis, I went to the boat today and ran the checks you recommended. Sure enough the fuel gauge went to 0 when disconnected and full when grounding the (red wire in my case) sending wire. I should have mentioned that I do not have the Yamaha fuel gauge/MPH pod I just have the Yamaha RPM...

    Fuel gauge/sender problems

    Hey Guys, I have a 93' Seafarer with the single 93 gallon tank that my fuel gauge is showing on the positive side. When I fuel her up all the way my gauge only shows a bit past 3/4 not full it's not a bad problem to have but I head out quite far offshore and not real comfortable with the gauge...
