    Need photo of 2008 or newer 330

    Dennis - do you think that welding an extension under the mounting brace will provide a lasting solution - I don’t know enough about the strength of ss welding

    Need photo of 2008 or newer 330

    Thanks for taking the photo - it shows what I expected which is a squaring off of the swim platform to allow the rather short attaching brace to fully rest on the swim platform On the older style 330 (my boat) only one of the two mounting holes will actually reach the platform. An alternative...

    Need photo of 2008 or newer 330

    Hey all, I am switching my swim ladder from the 3 step that clips onto the transom in front of engines to the current Windline TXL-4E that Grady currently uses. The problem is that the swim platform on my 2002 is not squared off so the ladder would be at a 45 degree angle when extended - not a...

    2007 330 express repower considering 300 Suzuki

    Finally got the boat back with props switched out to Suzuki 3x16x17 from the 18.5’s - tremendous difference in performance. With 18.5’s couldn’t get over 3000 rpm without severe cavitation - with 17’s couldn’t force cavitation at all & top end was 38.4 mph at 5300/5450 rpm - notice the STBD...

    Real Repower Cost, Twin 250's

    Just saw your plea & decided you are worthy of a reply I am in the Forgotten Coast area of FL panhandle & found that Sipio Creek Marina in Apalachicola is a Suzuki dealer but expected to pay a premium because of isolated location. Was surprised when they gave me a quote that was quite a bit...

    Real Repower Cost, Twin 250's

    Last week I paid $42,000 including taxes and all rigging including digital gauges for twin Suzuki digital 250’s - only additional component was steering rams which they brought in powder coated white to match engines for $1,700

    2007 330 express repower considering 300 Suzuki

    Got my boat back Friday with 250’s but the Suzuki props it came with are 3x16x18.5 can’t get above 3000 rpm without cavitation they have 3x16x17 in transit & I know you had cavitation issues with those props. Dealer is insisting on Suzuki props because that’s what was included in package price...

    Any 330 owners with cockpit storage cover

    This is both a lot more than I am looking for & the $$ are a lot more than I’m willing to spend

    Any 330 owners with cockpit storage cover

    I like the look & with the triangle sides would add a lot of extra protection. I’d be surprised if I could find one ready made to fit the 330 - I’ll save your photo & get some quotes on having one made. Thanks

    Any 330 owners with cockpit storage cover

    I am moving my 330 from indoor rack storage to a wet slip and was thinking about a cover to keep the direct sun and debris out of the cockpit. I’ve seen some boats with basically a diagonal cover, without sides, going from back of hardtop to the transom. Was wondering if anyone has something...

    2007 330 express repower considering 300 Suzuki

    Saw this post just after starting a conversation with you - I haven't done the conversation thing before so not sure how it works. I have 250's on order for my 2002 330 & wanted to know if you were still running the 16x16's. Do you think starting with the 17's & comparing the performance to...

    Water Smells In Freshwater Tank:

    My notes from someplace Grady has the ratio at 2 pints of bleach to my 50 gallon water tank - your recommendation would have me using 5 gallons of bleach - one of us is far off

    330 Water leak

    I have a 2002 330 & had same problem caused by my ignorance - I let teenage grandkids climb onto the top & dive off. I was unaware of weight limitations on hardtop. My hardtop has the 2 main supports & another support coming off each main. All four are accessible through the small round...

    Had similar Issue & turned out to be leak at base of hardtop support - I used an electronic device intended for auto repair to find leaks in windshield - it is based on ultrasonic tones inside cabin & picked up with headphones outside the cabin - you just start moving the sensor around on the...

    Opinions- New enclosure GradyBlue or OffWhite?

    I had A&J do my new enclosure a couple of years ago. Had samples of the blue and white fabrics sent ahead of time. My wife was concerned that the Grady off-white wouldn’t look good with my faded to true white 2002 hull. When we put the fabric up to the fiberglass I had to agree with her and...

    How many folks here have met in person?

    Parthery it’s always good to see you & I’m down to one bottle of Ring Free so will probably be ordering another case soon. I believe I met SmokyMtnGrady at Fort Jefferson about 3-4 years ago. You were camping with your family & I was anchored with my son & grandson. If I’m correct we are in...

    Anyone add a 2nd Bilge pump in the stern of their boat?

    This is what I did on my 330. It is mounted above the standard bilge pump & below the batteries. It has two alarms - one is the standard beeper type and the other is a red light that is mounted in the cockpit near the location of the pump.
