Hi Kevin, Have sent you a pm Regards Glenn

Thanks for all the fantastic feedback on the 208. I had one priced up here in Aus and can you believe a new 208 with 200 yammy on an aluminium trailer is around $105,000 !! and thats without electronics or hard top, fully optioned would be around 115k. Beautiful looking rig daman858 (not...

Hi Guys, I am looking to buy a new or an excellent condition used 208 and importing to Australia. Having previously owned a 258 journey i am now back in the market but looking to down size. I have not seen a 208 in the flesh but have been in a 209 escape which they tell me is the same hull but...

G'day Seadog, Welcome aboard the grady club. You wouldn't believe it but not only do we have the same boat but we also have the same car (same colour) to tow it! I am in Melbourne and have had my 258 for 14 months now (100hrs on the clock). I have just upgraded to the navnet 3d, auto pilot...

Not sure on the size of rope.Its plaited and very soft and supple. Its the chain and rope supplied with the boat from grady, so i ussume its the right size, type and length. If there is too much tension when pulling it up it just won't pull it up, so i have to drive up on it a little. Thanks...

Hi Guys, I have a 258 journey with the factory fitted lewmar winch. Love the boat but unsure on the winch. On my old boat i had a drum style winch (called a "stressfree" in Aus.) and it was awesome, no slippage and heaps of grunt. My local waterway is extreme with tides and i find it takes...

Thanks for all the great comment s and feedback. The engine covers are fantastic,endorsed by yamaha and made in Western Australia (website is outboardcovers.com.au). Can't have the company name on them unless purchased and authorised by the relative brand but heaps of guys use them here. The...

Hi Guys, New to the site but have been a long time reader. Picked up the new 258 journey in Feb so i thought it was about time to post some pic's. Cheers Glenn
