Re: Would love to upgrade the sound system on my 2010 Tourna I have an '09 Tournament. My head unit died so I replaced it but still have the stock speakers. It sounds much better with a new head unit. New speakers and possibly an amp coming this summer.

Took the head unit out already. There is one wire coming from it and no inputs/outputs on the back of it. Looked in the instruction manual to verify that everything (one wire from head unit, one wire from each remote) goes to the "hub." In the manual the antenna is also plugged into this "hub"...

Hello all! Looking for a little help. We recently purchased a 2009 Grady White 275 Tournament. The Stereo head unit is mounted next to the port side seat with a remote located just aft next to the lounge chair. There is another remote at the helm. The radio worked fine for the first week or...

Thanks mboyatt. Moving up from an Adventure 208 to the 275 was a huge change. We have so much more room to move around on the 275 and absolutely love it. Don't get me wrong, I love the 208 but it was time to go bigger. Enjoy your 192!

After a long two months, we were finally able to use the new to us tournament 275 with a single 350 yamaha. I bought the boat and had it shipped to Florida. The boat was trailered down from Virginia and delivered to me at a ramp about 3 miles from my house. I drove the boat to my house but when...

I have a SWSII 150 OX66 and love it. Thirsty? Yes. But that engine has been enough power for us. If I was doing it again, I would look for a 200 hpdi or 225 hp four banger. But, we looove the boat. I don't have a hardtop (canvas top) but I'm just over six feet tall and I have about 6 inches...

Is it 18k after your old motor trade in or before? Any idea of what performance might be (in nautical mpg) on your 208? With my 150 ox66 it seems like I get about 2 - 2.2 mpg no matter what the load...if I could get into the 4's this engine could be a game changer!

I would love to repower with this. Any idea of price?

Price seems high. As others have said, do compression test, pull a wheel on the trailer, etc. Figure the trailer is worth $2k max, you are at 16k. My buddy, a grady sales guy, says i can get out of mine quick at 13-14k (no trailer) and its the exact same boat/motor combo and year (with bow...

Excellent marina. If you are buying, talk to Marcel at Cannons. He knows his Grady's and I have found their prices to be fair to aggressive.

Marcel Kasten @ Cannon's in Sarasota/Longboat Key. I've had several friends buy and sell with him and all have had nothing but great things to say about him. He really helped me out with the purchase of my 208 and I'll definitely be buying from him when it comes time for an upgrade. Cannons -...

Yeah, it's not cheap! I bet it would be a pretty cool trip to drive the boat down. It would probably take you 2-3 days to get down depending on how much you push it. You could probably hit just North of Tampa in day 1, then down to Naples/Marco Island in Day 2, and day 3 make it to the keys...

Here is his uship details. I was looking at purchasing a 282 sailfish in May that was in the panhandle. To ship it to Sarasota it was going to be $900. I figured fuel burn would have been a little more. I think my buddy paid about $700 to ship from Sarasota to Islamorada. Superbob is based...

Try uship.com. I have a buddy that has shipped his 263 Chase from Sarasota to islamorada the past two years. He used uship the first year and this year just contacted the guy from year 1 directly. He has used "superbob"". He is always on time and professional. I can probably find his contact...

No affiliation here....but, this seems to be a decent deal: http://www.thehulltruth.com/boats-sale-wanted/443425-27-grady-white-272-sailfish-29-900-a.html
