Seasick, sorry but I dont see a barbed no pressure fitting being an issue on that. Just looking to provide some install pics for the guy on the 258 Journey

I cant speak for the cockpit scupper, the water line has not changed since I repowered from the original 2 stroke. From my math, the single 300 is still lighter than twin 150s. As for performance I usually average 2.4-2.6 mpg depending on seas of course. With a real light load, I can get 2.8...

I recently added the 56 gallon to mine, it was not too bad of a job. It was plumbed for the aux tank, which I am sure your's is as well. I wedged mine in with chocks and 1/4" rubber just like the main tank was done from the factory. Found an all brass valve on ebay and installed it next to my...

Mine is right at the bottom of the scuppers full of fuel with the batteries in the back, I have thought about moving them to the cabin, but it really has not bothered me. If you put 2 guys over 200 pounds in the back fishing, you can see some water in the cockpit drains, but not the rear well.

I have a notched transom 244 model and repowered it a few years ago with a 300 Suzuki. I consulted with Grady customer service before pulling the trigger, they said weight would not an issue since the boat was designed for twin 150s, their only advice was make sure the transom is solid before...

I just came across the same problem and you are correct the helm area on the Explorer is longer than the offshore. For $350 it would be well worth having it modified, the one I came across was $500 and 1000 miles away.

Cut the core out using 5/8 untreated, left an inch and half or so gap and beveled the edges.

After several hours, ready for new core

Had a couple of soft spots in the lid that were isolated right around the aft section. When I tore into it, over half the wood had moisture.

I have always known Grady to be a highly regarded boat, but never looked at one since they are not prevalent down here. The last 15 years I have owned a bay boat and fished with friends offshore. When we decided to get a big boat, I wanted a cabin for overnighting at the barrier islands we...

I average 2.5-2.75 mpg on my 95' 244 with a 300 Suzuki. This is loaded for fishing with 90 gallons of fuel and 4 guys. Im usually running around 4,000K and the high 20's-30 mph cruising, my boat does not have a tower and has crappy bottom paint. My previous motor was the original 95' 225...

Looking for any advice on props for a Suzuki 300 on a 24' hull. I am currently running an 18.5 pitch, but I am only turning 5500 rpm trimed out. I am still breaking it in, so I was just able to run wide open, my mechanic wants me to get 10 hours on it before we start swapping props. Just wanted...

I went ahead and ordered a Suzuki 300, the dealer is telling me I can expect 3.5-4mpg cruising around 4K, but I will believe it when I see it. The 6 year warranty and $4,000 less price tag made the Suzuki a no brainer in my opinion, looking forward to getting her back on the water.
