    freedom 192 vs 215 2018

    For what it’s worth, we loved our 192 for many years. Ended up upgrading to a 225 because we wanted the head and 10-passenger capacity. Definitely needed the 10-passenger capacity and have yet to use the head after two seasons.

    Finally, my Grady White has arrived.

    Your going to love the boat! We have a 225 which is only slightly smaller.

    8 people on Tournament 19?

    We had a 192 and wouldn’t hesitate putting 8 people on it. If you have the fish box option with a cushion and back to back seating on the other side that’s 6 people sitting comfortably behind the windshield and two in the bow. Our 150 Etec was enough to ski with that load but if going with...

    Does GW color fade?

    Unfortunately my machine buffer broke after using for 5 min so had to do by hand. Teaching the kiddos how to do this anyway the old fashion way. For the rub rail I used this starbrite rub rail restorer.

    Does GW color fade?

    Right side of the line is what our recently purchased 2015 Freedom 225 looked like after 6 seasons outside. The previous owner paid for detailing, but not sure how often. Good news though is how well Grady White boats clean up. Left side was hand polished and hand waxed plus a rub rail cleaner...

    Decals

    Ebay has some options but honestly to get the best decals contact your dealer especially for the Grady White logo.

    Boat Schematics

    The captain Grady app is very useful as well. If you can’t find what you’re looking for you can email Grady support from the app and your Hull ID is automatically included.

    Towing Grady with Jeep

    These boats and trailers always end up a bit heavier than you think. I have a Freedom 225 and have put her on a scale with the trailer to check tongue weight. 6800 lbs overall. Unsure if you have the 235 center console or the dual console Freedom, but I would expect a Freedom to be well over...

    new to boating-

    If you can’t find the right 235 for you the 225 that was discontinued a few years ago could be a great option. I saw a few with hard tops as well. Slightly smaller but still 10 passenger capacity if 2014 or newer. Wake isn’t so huge for skiing. The best part we love on our 2015 is the full...
