    Grady 236 Questions

    I think the bolster flips up on the standard seat. My seat does not flip up to go to the leaning post type of seat. The starboard side passenger seat flips up from the side for access to the second live well. I would much rather have the additional tackle storage under the helm seat than the...

    Security :

    I agree with Sardinia. Typical precautions should be used as in filling your vehicle at gas stations. Turn off engine or engines, no smoking, etc.. Maybe turn off batteries to completely eliminate the chance of sparks. If it makes you feel safer, by all means do it.

    Looking for ideas to get boat & trailer in new garage

    First of all, does the garage have a solid floor such as concrete? If it does, back the trailer partially into the garage, Jack the trailer up with railroad jacks or two floor jacks. Take the wheels completely off. Lower the trailer down to a few inches from the hubs touching the ground a block...

    Grady Colors

    I have a Coastal Fog Grady. It is in the water from May through October. I wax the hull in the boat yard where it is stored in April. Depending on the condition of the gel coat I will either do a two stage cleaning or a three stage cleaning. It usually comes up great.

    Has the tide turned?

    Here is a very informative video from one of my fishing channels on YouTube that I follow. It is about boat prices from 2020 to now in 2024 and the rate of inflation. Sorry though, Grady White boats are not in the video.

    Newbie - Fisherman or Coastal Explorer

    I also have a Fisherman 236. Being 66 years old, the higher gunnels and the added safety of them would make an easy decision for me.

    Newbie - Fisherman or Coastal Explorer

    I have a Fisherman 236. The Coastal Explorer looks to me to be mainly a Bay boat as opposed to the Fisherman which can run both the bay and the Ocean. Is it more important to you to get into skinner water than to have higher gunnels and a better offshore ride? Does the Coastal Explorer have the...

    How far out in the ocean would you travel from land?

    Ask around your marina, I”m in Sea Isle City and there are tuna being caught occasionally 15 miles out. Tell a responsible person your float plan, have an EPIRB and most of all check the weather on a few sources and venture out. Try fishing some pots for Mahi in a little closer.

    Engine flush quick connect

    Mine is under the starboard side gunnel and is hard to access. I find it easier to just flush it right at the engine. Also the grommet on the connection to the engine was just cut out for the additional water line in a very unprofessional way. After coming apart many times I spent over an hour...

    Reminder to turn off batteries

    The last thing I do before getting off the boat is to put the cover over the helm. I hit the engine trim button to make sure the batteries are off before I button up the cover. I do like the reminder on the electronics cover. I have a label maker and will do that this year when the boat goes in...

    Pop-out gunwale step

    I have one on my Fisherman 236 and have never used it. In fact I am thinking of getting rid of it because it blocks my rod storage in the gunnel. Most docks are the right height for easy access on or off the boat anyway.
