I just used SS screws with finish washer and painted black. Works fine and looks good.

I have a 2003 that I am going to repower in the fall with F300's. The official word from Grady is that it is only rated for 500HP . In 2003 the bigest Yamaha engine made was the 250 so no need for a higher horse power rating. The following year they came out with the 300 two stroke and the...

I tow my 33 It is 11'10" wide over 14,000lbs and 14'10" tall (top of Radar) (Semis are 13'6"). I have towed it across Florida from Sarasota to Port Orange and regular trips to West Palm Beach from Port Orange. The hardest part is around town. Low lights and lines. I have to pre run my route...

chub2000..... Sounds like you have a set of strong motors.

My mechanic checked out the mid sections and they look good. Still I'm not going to rebuild just too much money to do it right. I'm going to wait it out and let invintory build back up and repower later.

What kind of load running 6000rpm?. Is bottom painted?

The props are Mercury 4-Blade Revolution I had a set of 14 5/8" x 17"pitch that I had rep-pitched to 15". The biggest advantage is that there is no cavitation running in rough water. The top speed is about 2mph less but the cruise speed seems to have more response. Full Xtra Heavy load I get...

Already have the 4-blade props. Trying to convince the wife to maybe sell as is and find a 36. So far she hasn't said much.

I talked to GW customer service today and they told me It was only rated for 500HP. Of course they can't say anything that would be a problem later. It you look at the performance report there is only 1.7 MPH difference at WOT between the 250 and 300. I really dont care about top speed anyway...

Stephen....I live down the coast from you (Ponce Inlet) I had a 272 with 250 2-stroke's and switched to F225's . On a normal trip with the 250's I would burn about 115 to 125 gallons +Oil. The F225's I used only about 85 to 90 gallons. This was when gas prices were about 2.50 Now at the $4+...

I have a 2003 33 just got the bad news that one engine has a hole in the head that is leaking water. It is a F225 with only 825 hours. After calling around I found that their aren't any GOOD used engines around. I did find a set of F350'sw with less then 200 hours but the guys at Grady...

Take the time to get it. It will save you a couple hours of time on the return home.

On my 330 I run with both tanks. This keeps the fuel always fresh. When traveling in Bahamas I use the main tank and leave the Aux for emergency in case I get some bad fuel on an out of the way island. This way I always have good fuel in one tank. When I get back home it is back to both.

Thru hull usually will give a better picture due to cleaner water flow over the surface of the transducer. I don't like transom mounts to easy to get lines cought on and stepped on from people boarding over the transom. In my opinion I would go with the Thru hull if you are using a high end...

I have a 2003 33 with 225's. Do I think it is underpowered? No. Do I wish that I had more speed some times? Yes. I think It handles well with the 225's. It isn't a rocket ship but it out performs most same size boats with diesels. My top speed Loaded is in the Mid 30's and cruise 28 to 30 mph...

Open Array usually will give a better picture. I have a Furuno NN3D 12KW/6Ft antena on top of my Grady. It handles it with no problem. Never heard of Grady saying not to use open array on their hardtops. Most of the boats in this area use open array to look for birds when Tuna fishing.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everybody.

My last boat was a 272 Sailfish Twin F225's and the ride depended on how you had the boat trimed. If the seas were up and close just trimed the motors and tabs down to take advantage of the deep V to cut through the water. Off Ponce Inlet we usually fish 30 to 100 miles off shore I also made...

Under wrap!!!! Sorry I couldn't live up north. Went for a cruise today it was in the low 80's. Cold front moving thru tonight Low 70's for tomorrow.

You should be able to get the part from your Grady Dealer. On my last Grady I added a wash to my second wiper blade and was able to get all the parts to do it.
