    New Grady owner

    Congratulations on the boat !! The repairs on the fishbox lid are going to be a bit more involved then a simple grind and re gel. You’re going to have some glass work involving the replication of the non skid grid if you want it to look original. If you are handy There are some good YouTube...

    Soft spot core repair

    … thanks Dan Byram, I fashioned a couple different pieces of 3/8 all thread rod. One with a pointed angle and another with a pointed hook. Using them to dig out the soft core while the threaded rod served as a file or rasp of sorts scraping and digging simultaneously. It worked fairly well...

    Soft spot core repair

    The water intrusion was coming from a couple sources. One area was the foot of the pipe work hardtop support, the factory installed snaps for the seat cushions and at the bomar cutout. All fasteners etc now are sealed or screwed into epoxy and rebedded so this won’t happen again as long as I’m...

    Higher Fuel Prices

    Not so funny thing we have research vessels sounding the ocean bottom 20 miles off the coast of Delaware and Maryland to locate future locations for wind turbines to generate electricity. I don’t think you could convince a 6th grader (not a public schooled one) that this is going to be cost...

    Dogs on the water... show us your dog

    Today we lost our youngest child. An incredibly loyal, loving and happy Golden who’s main goal in life was to please everyone. She gave it her all to the very end and died in our arms at home, where she loved to be. A good friend told me a dog is one of God’s greatest creations if they could...

    Who do you have your boat insured through?

    Nice to see some loyalty, friend or not. If you have a good agent you can always speak with them regarding rates and availability. In this competitive market many insurers initiate new pools within their company to stay competitive freeing themselves of loss experience in the older ones...

    WTB 2005 300 MARLIN CAMPANION SEAT

    ….Shame I just sold mine a while back. I went the other way. Hated the companion seat and installed a matching Llebroc helm chair. Much roomier on the helm and better visibility for the passenger. To each his own.. good luck in your search
