    Grady White vin #

    You will likely have to see if the selling dealer, or original sales documents have them, as at that time Grady pre-rigged engines, and shipped the hull to the dealer. The dealer finished rigging the engines which came from the engine OEM.

    Electronics box switch

    Did you try disconnecting the switch, and cleaning all of the connections? It sounds like corrosion, and jiggling allow contact to be made.

    2012 209 cc w/150 hp yamaha

    The 150 will be sluggish, especially when fully loaded. I had an '87 204C Overnighter with a 175 that I bought new back in the day. The 175 was barely adequate by 1987 standards when twin 150s were the power of choice on a Sailfish, and if a boat hit 50 MPH it was a speed boat. I think you...

    Tempted by 1990 Sailfish 25

    I would worry that the through hulls need to be replaced because they have alowed water intrusion, resulting in some delamination. As others said, get a survey. Before investing in a survey, you might want to invest in a moisture meter, and scan the hull looking for damp/wet areas.

    Grady 235: windlass or not?

    As others have said it is like an autopilot. Once you have one, you can't understand how you ever boated without it. It is not a winch, so do slowly power up to keep slack in the line when retrieving the anchor. Tie the rode off when at anchor, and put the anchor pin in when the anchor is in...

    A lot of new car wiring features environmentaly friendly Soy insulation because it is renewable and not made from fossill fuels. It is also a food stuff for rodents. Dealers are seeing an influx of cars with chewed up wires as a result.

    grady white hulls

    Dsenica, Dark hulls need to be waxed often to protect from UV rays. Also, make sure you use a soap that does not remove wax. Dishwashing soap is a great cleaner for dirt, but strips wax bare. You likely need to compound the hull, and then wax religiously. How often depends on where you boat...

    Few questions from new member.

    I have never heard of a change that would address a potentially rotten transom. There was a change in Max HP fro 750 in 2007 to 1050 in 2008, and then recently to 1275. I don't own a 360/370, so I cannot comment on how well it runs with 750 HP, but I am sure others on this forum will chime in,
