ALSO! If you have a Tournament 225 - please tell me how you set up your anchor locker :)

Hi All: Our Tournament 225 will be 8 this summer, and there is really only one thing I want to improve this spring. We currently carry 250 or 300' of 5/8" anchor rode in the locker, can't remember exactly, along with 20' of chain and a Fortress FX-11 anchor. The anchor is one size bigger than...

Architect. Pretty Houses... Happily we design many coastal homes that we can enjoy seeing from the boat :)

We LOVE our Tournament 225... I mean L.O.V.E. it... I can only think of one thing that needs to be addressed in future models (scuppers) but it is an overwhelmingly good experience to own it. We are a family of 5, and we regularly take another family with us on the Long Island sound. The boat...

It rained a lot overnight, but today (Sunday) should be sunny... I took my kids yesterday and said Hi to the Catalano gang. They have some nice boats on display. Enjoy the show!

We have the same setup as Parthery except the canvas comes all the way over the transom storage lockers. Basically it covers everything from the windshield back to the motor. It's been terrific for the boat on the mooring. No sun damage, bird droppings, etc. just takes a few minutes to snap...

Thanks Parthery. - I remember seeing barkeeper s friend in other posts... Maybe that was you? I will give it a shot. Take Care, Mike

Hi Guys - our 2007 Tournament 225 is starting to show stains on the gel pat even after I clean her up pretty good with soap and water and a scrubbie... Is it safe to use soft scrub with bleach, or are there cleaning agents that are a better idea? Thanks a lot for any input :)

Thanks for posting all those pictures - and Congratulations on the nice work! You're going to have a great summer :)

Thanks for that! Ours is a "slingshot" for three and its pretty great also. It has hard plastic scoops behind it that throw a righteous rooster tail :) Would you post some pics if you get a chance? ... And Have a great summer!

Thanks Guys for all those posts. I see that I am not the only one who has observed the phenomenon and marveled at it. I think some people can appreciate another person's reasons for choosing something different than their own choice, and some others can't. Nothing new there I guess. For...

I can't figure out the Grady White Insanity on the Hull Truth site. The typical post starts out with some well meaning person who is considering a few different boats and is looking for advice. One of them is a grady. Then a few people give intelligent responses about the pros and cons of the...

Our cover was custom made by a canvas guy that the Grady dealer recommended to me. I had it made while the dealer still had the boat before we took delivery. Not the cheapest thing to do, and I sort of wish Grady offered this as an option. As I recall it was about $800 back in 2007. The guy...

OK - Here's my 2 cents... We have a Tournament 225 on a mooring and I have strong feelings on this one. We had a canvas cover made that spans from the windshield all the way back to the transom. The bow seating area has a canvas cover that came with the boat, so really the whole boat is...
