I reached out to cannons asking if they could just send me the numbers but they said the website developer deleted the info when he updated the website. I can’t figure out when they reduced the max hp to 400 from 500, and why (next step is calling Grady directly). I did find a 2021 on boat...

My guess is the demand for swim platforms for the “family fisherman”. The 10.5’ beam of the 307 was barely not enough with twins, while the 335 was too heavy for twin 300s with the discontinuation of the 350s even though it has enough beam if the twin 350s were still available. Yamaha hasn’t...

Hi I had been able to find it on cannons website but they just updated the site without the 250s report and i would like to find and save a copy. Does anyone know where I could find it? All I can find is the twin 150s and 200s now. Thanks!

If you zoom in you can see how my ski pylon is mounted. Never pulled a bolt through.

Here is a scout 230, only supported by the radar arch, not even tied into in front of the windshield, there’s no way with the extra supports on a Grady that you’d have issues making a mount like this.

I know this is an old thread, and I don’t even have a 275 yet but I see Scout and others have the tow point on the hard top and I would want one. I have yet to grab on and shake my 200lbs on the hard top, but I don’t see why you couldn’t do it with a little modification. First I wouldn’t go...

One of the little black window stop pad things that supports the window when it’s open so the frame isn’t hitting the other glass fell off. Where do I get one? It attaches to the hinged window frame edge, no idea what it’s even called.

We live in NOVA right now but tow the boat a lot to Topsail beach NC and spend a lot of time on the sound and intracoastal. It does great for pulling a skier or tube, and does pretty good on chop and waves. We’ve had it out in 4-6 footers in the Long Island sound, and always felt safe. It...

FYI, I also put a 25" shaft on a 20" transom tournament 19, and started with those brackets you have, and they are NOT strong enough for a 200. Them sitting 4" back also puts more stress on that transom, and I have the same cracks. That lift plate is only rated for 150hp, not the 225hp that...

The front anchor locker on my 1987 Tournament is not like the ones on 88-93 models. I can’t fit a normal Danforth in it. What is an anchor that does fit? Or a folding one that’s decent?

Took one more look at the 89 in daylight and decided it wasn’t worth it. It was owned by the guys 91 year old grandfather and he must have hit the dock a lot, it needed a bit of fiberglass work that I didn’t want to deal with. Full steam ahead on the 87.

Boat is for sale for $2000 with no motor in the classifieds, pulling the trigger on the 89 hull this weekend.

I looked at the 89 last night. He is asking $3500, but said he’s just trying to recoup the money he spent on the brand new single axle load rite heavy duty with Kodiak disk brakes of $3250. Found that he forgot to take the plug out last summer, and the whole hull was full of water and stank...

Well, I’ve come to a crossroads. I found a 1989 192 on craigslist local to me, with a Johnson 175 on it. This would have all the gauges and controls and the proper transom height I had wanted, for $3500 on a brand new single axle trailer. My instinct is buy it, swap my evinrude on it, and...

Boat is very stable at all speeds, doesn’t portpoise at all or walk. I know I’m chasing nothing but the engineer in me wants to explain everything, and the competitor in me wants to be faster than my dad.
