Would be really cool to see the steps you are going through to make the plug and make the final piece/install.

I have had blockages before on my 25. I was able to take a high pressure water hose nozzle and force water from the aft pipes that exit into the bilge area to reverse flow from aft to forward and have had foam pieces float out as well as other debris. It seems to me that might be the best...

Interesting to know why you didn't keep the sailfish as I hear they are a great ride. How did it drift? In regards to drifting abeam, I have heard most center consols do this, however, I had a old 20' bowrider type boat before the 25 Grady Sailfish WA that I have now and they always drift with...

Not sure what the motive would be for Grady dealer to shy away from the AGM's. They are superior to led acid in every way. However, it is easy to be convinced but in this case some research reveals similar claims...I get it. However, not sure why anyone is using a Group 34M battery in a boat...

Mustang, someone fed you a line of ....well, you know what! The last set of Duracell Group 31 AGM's lasted over 13 years for the house batteries. They still worked and tested right at the lower limit on a carbon pyle load test, so in essence, still going, but I replaced as I was getting...

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.
