    4 stroke vs HPDI on a Grady CC

    I can speak from the 4 stroke side with a pair of 225's.....I usually run around 1.8 to 2.2 MPG, fully loaded, with about 1 mile traveled in a harbor and bay all other times are bouncing in the Atlantic. The lower MPG seems to mirror sea conditions and amount of trolling being done. Have I had...

    How thick is the wall behind the live well on a 306 bimini c

    wall on 306 Ping the guys at customer service for Grady.....that would be your best choice. I have thought of doing the same thing a few times, but have talked myself out of it just as many...they would be the best possible resource to use

    273 chase

    273/283/sailfish ok, lets see if I can at least give you my honest opinion based on what you said you are looking for. First, I'm more familiar with the 273, while one of my fishing partners runs the 283, so I can speak on their differences, etc...the sailfish well, I see a few around and don't...

    273 chase

    273 peter slow down first of all the 273 is called the chase while the 283 is now referred to as the canyon 283. Comparing them is one thing but when you add a sailfish to the mix you are talking about something totally different. Center consoles vs cuddy.....now that is an argument for the...

    Running on a single engine

    single engine I hate to admit I've gotten in on one engine twice.....once due to failed battery and once due to ethanol issues (water separator was clogged). I ran in at about 8-10 sm or 7-9 knots, just took my time, not in a big hurry was lucky to be only 10 miles out...little over an hour...

    Taco Outriggers

    outriggers I agree wash them every trip out, used or not....but I also put on a coat of woody's every couple of months. I actually attempt to to the T-top, bow rail, anything metal. It takes some time, but gives the Aluminum a nice shine after its done. But, note it doesn't last very long thus...

    twin yamaha 250's on Chase 273 or Tourn275

    273 w/250's I have the same boat with twin 225's ....... no issues, you won't get to use the top end much if your going out of Lewes. Great boat......you will enjoy either choice. I'm strictly fishing and the 273 is the best choice.
