After seeing this thread I compared the 218 and 215. The 218 is roughly 500 lbs heavier than the 215. I think you would regret not going with the 250 on a 218. The 200hp on a 218 wot is 39mph. On a 215 it’s 42-43mph.

Which F250 did you order? XSB? I ordered a 215 last week which is the same hull I believe, also with a 250. Interested in your experience and congratulations!

i had a 2004 Seafarer 228 that would get an 1” or 2 of water in the cockpit when you had a couple guys in the back of the boat. Also had a ~2015 Tournament 225 that did the same thing. On that boat, Grady supplied scupper plugs. Both of those boats were bracket boats which likely exacerbates...

Yes, they need to be moved so the hull isn’t resting on the cradle cross beams. When I’m setting my lift up for a new boat I measure the distance between the new boat stringers and set my lift cradle bunks to be centered under the stringers. I think this supports the hull ideally and you don’t...

I used Caj Flynn to move a Grady from Pompano to Charleston using their trailer. He loaded it, prepped it (taped hatches shut, etc.) and launched it here. I don’t know if he does west coast swings. 303 570 4325

Thanks! I dealt with Kenny at Seels Mt. Pleasant back in 2004 and would see him at the boat show every year, so I went back to that location even though Sav. Hwy. is much closer to where I live. Plus, they had a 215 I could crawl over there. Unfortunately, Kenny is sick and in the hospital, so I...

As another poster mentioned, If you have ac power where you store your boat invest in an onboard battery charger. It doesn’t have to be a high amperage unit. 5 amps per channel is plenty. I‘ve had the Noco Genius on a couple boats and they’ve worked fine. Also had a Guest brand that worked well...

Perhaps a wives tale, but I’ve always thought to never change the battery switch position while the engine is running. In your scenario, I would go to 1+2 or “both”, start the engine and go boating. You’ll be charging both batteries so half the available current going to each battery, but if the...

I installed 2 Raymarine 6” displays in the helm cabinet. One was a gps and the other was sonar. Don’t know if they were replaced obviously, but if they were still there then it could be.

Thanks for the welcome! I did buy the Seafarer new in early summer of 2004. I bought it from the same dealer that I purchased yesterday. At the time we were living mid-state SC and often trailered to the coast for weekend cruises and some fishing. During one of those trips in the boat prior, a...

Hey folks! After lurking a bit joined the forum today. Certainly a wealth of knowledge here. Much appreciated. Hopefully this is the correct forum to post this. What prompted me was I placed a factory order for a Freedom 215 yesterday. This will be my third Grady, the first being a Seafarer 228...
