Congrats! I love my '92 252G! Try Marine Part Depot online and see if any of there SS hardware might fit. I replaced my instrument panel hinges with the friction hinges from Boat Outfitters and than really helps when trying to access the switches at the helm without the clear panel covers...

Agree with Hookup's approach....grind, fill with epoxy filler, epoxy primer/sealer and paint. I re-did mine the first time with evercoat polyester filler (had bigger chunks missing in mine and one large crack I had to grind down quite a bit) and re-gel coated. I have a post on here somewhere...

Here you go. I see it is a 100% polyester lining and show Rivers End on the color. As you can see, it is quite worn and would love to refresh it.

Glad this post came out! I have a Grady jacket I got many years ago and it is getting quite worn down. None of the one's they have now will work for me. I am not sure how to describe it, but it gets a lot of comments from folks thinking I work for Grady! I think it would be called fleece and...

When I got my Grady, it had the lift ring system that went up through the pulpit and down to the eye and had a huge stainless steel frame which I think helped the stress of the lifting. I did have a small crack around the eye, but not a huge area lifted like your pic shows. Since I would never...

I would not remove the pulpit as you will likely need some fiberglass work. Why remove it when others have found solutions to mount the trolling motors on the Grady's? Just asking as not sure why your mounting solution can't work like some of the one's I have seen on this site which were done...

Yeah, we could go back and forth all day....lol. :) I want a diesel also. Would love to have one, but they are not always practical for everyone. Diesels are made to run longer distance and pull loads to survive. Not mom and pop engine to run to store and not fully warm up. They cost about $11k...

More quarts of oil and frequent fuel filter changes as well as DEF fluid, etc. They cost more than gas.

I personally would hesitate to use a 1/2 ton truck to pull that boat. Even though they have those high tow ratings, most of them have turbo's and they will do the job, but it is very stressful on the engine and brakes to handle that much weight. Like others have said, what is your tow like? Flat...

Thanks for the pic.

I found some options on Amazon for a Li Time battery and charger combo that would be a 36v 100ah battery for a reasonable price. I found some other youtube videos where they did a full test on them and they use grade A batteries according to the testing. Probably would start off with 1 battery...

Thanks for the links, looks good. I assume those are 1" rails on the Grady's.

For the HPDI's the 200's are awesome in how they start/run and do very well on fuel. However, there is a lot of reading in how to keep them going without causing downstream issues. For me, what I have learned: 1. I run 2 micron fuel filters that are Racor S3220SUL. These must be changed every...

Hard to tell in the pics, but does the prop on the TM get in the way of an anchor or pulpit? Also, any info about source and parts used to fix the rail would be appreciated!

My experiences over time with the same issue: 1. Rub rail not sealed allowing spray to run into the liner and down to the bilge. Had to pull rub rail out and reseal and run another bead of clear silicone on the bottom edge once screwed back in. 2. Rain into the anchor locker in the hole where...
