    New Grady-White Freedom 265

    I didnt say that. I said it is a great all around platform that I prefer as an avid fisherman vs. a bow rider. And as far as unusable, you should see the 265's on the west coast. Cabin is loaded with rods, tackle etc. very fishy boats.

    New Grady-White Freedom 265

    It doesn't. The origional 265 was an express cabin style fishing machine which is no longer available. Then next closest is the 30. The 265 was a great combination fishing machine and family boat. Just saying the change to a bow ridder eliminates that. To each their own. You are right its just...

    New Grady-White Freedom 265

    Hello Grady, I got a tuna!

    Nice job on the first biggun! I know how it is to battle these norcal blues. Nothing like fitting one on a socal boat with a rail. My only suggestion is to get a Harpoon too. Its heartbreak when they surface 6 feet out and you have to. let them circle back down under the boat because the gaff...

    Did anyone ever find a picture of the bases for this project? I keep trying to find something but the only thing close is a rod holder mount? There has to be something better.

    Fuel....whats going on?

    Whats changed? I replaced the fuel tanks that had 1/4" holes in the top!!! Amazing how much that helps. I'm not having water problems now that i know of. Just havnt seen fuel react this way before when changing the fuel water separators and found it interesting. I let it set and was seeing this...

    Fuel....whats going on?

    I was changing my fuel water separator today and like the good home mechanic i dumped the contents into a jar to check for water/crud. Didnt see any separation of water but did see this? Any ideas? Fuel just evaporating and condencing back into the jar? Keep an eye on the condensing drops as...
