Thanks for the info 4/0. You are correct you cannot discharge into the Great Lakes. In fact if a boat is setup with this option it needs to be disconnected. The Coasties will not be happy if your boarded and this is still functional and they do random boardings alot where I live. Most of the...

It would be just the small holding tank that is attached to the bottom of the porta potti. I'm trying to avoid having to walk up the dock after each trip with the porta potti in tow to clean it out some how at home. Then remember it each time I head back down to the dock. It's not good if...

I'm looking at a 248 Voyager to possibly purchase and this particular boat has a porti potti with a self contained holding tank. My 208 Adventure had the same thing and it is a setup I don't want on the new rig. In fact it's one of many reasons for upgrading to something larger. I know it is...

:hmm Doesn't anybody have any experience or opinion about the GW 258 Journey with the single F250 setup or the twin F150 setup? Please let me know if anyone has experience with either of these options. I know each has its pros and cons but I'm wondering what would be the better way to go in...

Ok.......let's say I decided on the 258 Journey out of these 2 models. Now I need some feedback and opinions about single F250 vs twin F150's. I will need to put a small kicker (9.9 4-stroke is ideal) off the back as well for the type of trolling we do here in the Great Lakes so keep that in...

Great point GW Voyager! For the low price of a permit it would be a good idea to get one! Thanks!!

Trailering anything wider then 8'6" can an issue. The state law is 8'6". However in the U.P. the roads are not as crowded and patrolled. It usually takes something pretty obvious (10' +) to really draw attention. The boat would be slipped in Marquette 95% of the time. It would get...

Thanks for all the input, guys! I think I would be happy with any of the models I'm looking at, too! I always want to ask questions before I purchase a boat rather then after. :D

Thanks for the valuable info wdlibio! Great video clips....they speak a thousand words for the boat and it fishability. I love the video titled " dance". Done that sort of things with multiple salmon on at once here in the Great Lakes. It a terrible problem to have! :D

Great info wdlfbio. I luckily have (2) GMC 3/4 ton diesels (dad & father-in law) and (1) GMC 1 ton dually diesel (stepdad) that I can use just about anytime. So, I won't even bother thinking my Suburban would do the job. How is that 282 for rockiness while trolling. That is one thing that...

Thanks for the input so far, guys! I have a 2007 Suburban that will be my tow vehicle. We will have a dock slip here in my hometown but do have a few trips per year about 100 miles from home. Nice to here my vehicle could get this done. Is there anything about either of these boats that you...

I sold my 208 Adventure a few months ago and am currently researching my next Grady. The #1 model on my short list is the 265 Express (2003 & newer). I'm also researching the 258 Journey and the 282 Sailfish. I'm looking at the 258 for it's trailerability and the 282 for it's capabilities of...

This may have been brought up already but that symbol in the top left coner of the "great grady" home page would make a really nice decal for our vehicles. Since the homepage changed it's look a while back I have always thought that would make a cool decal. What do you guys think? Again I...

I have a 1994 208 Adventure. Both the storage/fishbox hatches are chipped up along the front edges from the previous boat owner. I have lived with it for 4 years now and am sick of my fingers getting cut on the edges. Also just recently the vent hatch for my cabin lost a small chunk on...
