    Tournament 192 to 225 questions

    It's not the boat. I take it out of the inlets and in small craft advisory conditions regularly . It will handle more than I want to. I'm very impressed at what this 19' foot boat can handle, more than any other 19 I have owned or driven. The bay here is swept up into a short chop most summer...

    Tournament 192 to 225 questions

    Howdy everyone! I currently have a 192 and have been very happy with it for 5 years. Looking to upgrade but not a lot. We use the boat mostly in the Great South Bay of Long Island and coastal fishing/cruises. We spend a lot of time in the shallows but I also fish a lot outside. We are mainly...

    Wanted: Marine Surveyor in Ocean County New Jersey

    I bought a boat out of Comstock, great dealer, not pushy very honest about the boats condition. I was not local either and used Charles, great experience all around.

    Pedestal seat

    The plastic on my slide was worn out. I found it easier to replace the pedestal and upgraded to height and slide adjustable.

    Tubing, Fisheman 216 - 2018 model.

    Should not happen. I have a 192 and tube all the time. Not a direct comparison but a 150 etec and no ventilation.

    Grady white 192

    I just picked up a 192 Tournament last year. I was looking for a repowered one and sea trialed quite a few. All were repowered with Yamaha 150 4 strokes as you would assume. I really wanted the Yam but they did seem heavy with scuppers in the water and really plowed hard before planing. One did...

    192 Tournament Mods / Option Additions

    Thanks Joshua. I see the livewell listed as an option and I am pretty sure one of the bow storage areas is an insulated fish box. My boat is pre freedom, the tournament model and I have all of the original paperwork, brochure and manual and it has both listed. Thanks again, I'm gonna check out...

    192 Tournament Mods / Option Additions

    Purchased a used 192 last year, first Grady and absolutely love it. I really wanted the fishing package but found a repowered low hour original owner boat in really great condition. So now of course I want to make it more fishy. Both bow areas are storage only and the insulated cooler behind...

    Why a Grady?

    Hi Jargon. I am new to Grady White boats but have been boating most of my life, both motor and sail. We mostly cruise the bays around long island and I do fish a lot but I do not have much interest in offshore fishing. My last boat was a cuddy and I vowed to never own another cuddy or walk...

    1996 Tournament 192 w/E-Tec 150 - Engine Questions

    Trimmed up I can get the rpms to almost 5000. Where I boat most days there is little trimming due to the chop so 47-4800. I will take it in after the season and see what the engine scans say but to me it sounds and feels like its lugging when trimmed down. Is the spec supposed to be when...

    1996 Tournament 192 w/E-Tec 150 - Engine Questions

    The motor is great and I actually like it better than a four stroke on this boat. Anyway the engine has a four blade stainless Cyclone prop. Tops out at 41mph with just gas and myself fully trimmed, which is fine with me but the rpms are at the very low end recommended for the engine. Also if I...
