UPDATE: If you have this issue with a deluxe II helm chair there is a plastic sleeve between the two cylinders that tends to get crinkled up and jambs the lift/lower function on the chair. Our dealer was aware of the issue happening prior to us and Grady is sending a new post and floor mount...

Does anyone with this chair experience difficulties raising the height of this chair? It should be able to be accomplished with the lever under the seat but our chair will not budge. I noticed it on our 2017 boat and the the BRAND new 330 express in the Atlantic City show this past winter. Not...

We had this boat priced about 3 years ago and didn't pull the trigger. At the time it was either the standard top or full glass enclosure and the full glass option went for about 30k. Seemed a little outrageous. But the AV2 was the perfect compromise between the two. The sight lines from the...

Ill have to look into the sea keeper system. I'm not too familiar with it but it sounds interesting. Thanks for that info!

The build is going to happen in January and finish in the middle of February. We will have it for the Spring season. We are also going to stick with the 350s. What hard top option did you choose? We currently have it ordered with the new AV2 top but are debating going with the full glass...

Thanks for the input, Ron. The boat will a 2017 with new F350C engines. The new ECU's have the "80 hour clock" in them that will trigger a code to have the flywheels replaced. I'm worried that if I hit this 80 hours and I'm 100 miles off the beach, will there be enough time to get back in, you...

Thanks for the info! I was told the main difference with 350s and 300s is torque and displacement. The displacement on a F350c with standard 3 blade props is already significantly more than an F300, would 4 blade props really be necessary?? Sorry I'm just not to familiar with prop swapping...

Jack, What year is your 330?? and how do you like the f350s??

In the process of finalizing options on a new 330 Express. We have tentatively decided to power the boat with 350s as opposed to 300s. Looking for a bit of information from you guys based on experience. After speaking with Yamaha regarding the flywheel issues, it sound like they have the...

Jack, Nice ingenuity, thanks for the input! And a gorgeous boat. grady33, If you don't mind me asking, how much will the underwater lights run? Are you having grady dealer put them on?

Thanks for the reply megabytes and the insight! Grady33, Have you found that most of the guys like to sit up on the helm or more so in the cockpit and deck area? We kind of felt the same way that we would be fine as long as people aren't running back and forth through the helm. Getting...

I've found out the same thing there. It's almost a 50% markup from the price Taco offers. If everything is already in place with the holes than mounting the plates and holder is self explanatory from there. It's about a 6k bump to upgrade to 24s. I'm with you 100% on the 18s.

Paul, Thanks for the info. I wonder if the factory can simply cut the holes for outriggers and a self install can be done. I had a look at the 18s but thought nothing more because the dealer only offered 15s and 24s. But if the 18s outfit nicely than that may be the way to go. Thanks

Fishtales, Thanks for the reply! I appreciate your insight and for pointing out some of your concerns. 3 boats in 3 years isn't a great record at all, but we've managed to make out extremely well on previous trade-ins. Quite lucky really. I have checked out the pursuits as well and while it's a...

Looking for a little input from those of you who own a Grady with the new Glass enclosed hard top option. We've been Grady owners for nearly 35 years, and over the past 3 years we've purchased 3 different models looking for that perfect match. Currently we own a 307 Freedom, but we feel it lacks...
