New motor prices are outrageous right now, if you got $50K laying around go for it!! Agree with ItialianAngler the earlier Yamaha 4-strokes are junk and stay away -- If you can find a good pair of OX66's at a decent price go there, they are thirsty and you have to pre-mix but Great motors...

Had Good luck with these guys for high quality Grady White decal on my 1989 Gulfstream. https://discontinueddecals.com Used these guys for my custom lettering for boat registration numbers and boat name: https://boatletteringtoyou.com/

Agree with the replies above. Here in the States it's Taco Marine.

Have not ordered the windlass yet as I am still trying to figure out best solution and configuration. Right now I have no windlass, just hand coiling the line as I feed it into the locker. Am going to look at the Lewmar

Good information, I am looking to install a windlass as my buddies are tired of hauling up the anchor line. The same applies to me with regard to the center cleat and I am not in favor of using my windless to secure the anchor line. Was thinking of moving this cleat forward a bit making room...

I have 300 feet of 1/2 inch anchor line and 6 feet of chain which pretty much fills up the anchor line box. Please note: This is with the anchor stored out on the bow pulpit and the anchor line running back into the box , if you are storing the anchor in the anchor line box not sure you would...

I rebuilt a '89 Gulfstream over the last 2 years and one of the items broken was the bow pulpit -- from what I understand it's a common problem. Took the pulpit off, ground out all the old fiberglass and core material, re-glassed the entire pulpit, bought/installed a new anchor roller, and...

Looking at all the same but notice there is only single fuel pick up nozzle and if you have a twin engines that might not work.

In general the chairs were OEM from Pompanette and most were Ladder Back Model P200, see attached link so Pompanette will have your slider but BRING you wallet full of mooney. Try this: I have used a Garelick sliders in the past with excellent results. I think (not know) Pompanette uses...

Any environment will cause condensation to form inside your fuel tanks over time and that's bad. Don't believe me, do this little experiment: Leave a half full container of mustard in your refrigerator for about a month, then turn it over and notice what first squirts out -- Its water from...

Perko dome light was OEM for Grady, see/copy link below: https://www.perko.com/catalog/lighting_fixtures/727/exterior_surface_mount_dome_light_with_red_&_white_bulbs/ This is for both red and white light but also in Perko catalog is just the white light. A little more money than some but well...

1988 Gulfstream owner who has restored 4 older Grady's and posted on this thread: There are two types of older Grady owners, those who have replaced their transom and those who will. Replaced mine 3 years ago and money will spent.

Have a 1988 Gulfstream with twin 150s. With the limited trailering you do it MIGHT be ok -- but not recommended. My first trailer had the same rating and I kept blowing tires. Typical haul from my house to ramp was 40 miles each way. Purchased a tandem trailer with 5,000 lb axles, 15 inch...

You got to be careful on this one. I have owned and restored 4 older Grady White boats and my current is a 1988 Gulfstream 232 which is a great ride. Somethings I would consider are not with the boat but yourself -- are you someone who is good at turning a wrench & has the time to turn that...

Agree, if you ever have to trailer that boat any distance you are in trouble. Bought a new trailer with twin 5,000 lb axles and 15 inch load range 10 HD tires. Works great.
