    Fuel Tank Question

    My 2017 Canyon 306 (Yam 300s) has a 290gal tank according to GW specs. After taking a much longer trip than anticipated I got to the harbor with the lowest bar on the gas gauge flashing as a low fuel alarm. The four of us were curious how much was left in reserve at that point as I have never...

    Whats the best Grady of all time?

    I have owned the 180, 282, and now the 306. The 180 was the best for its class, relative to other brands in the same 18' class. I loved that boat. My 306 is the best overall, the ride is fantastic and it meets my needs perfectly. The 282 Sailfish was a great boat, but not quite big enough...

    306 Canyon Wiring

    HI all, Need to troubleshoot my windlass on my 306. I looked at my owner manual and there is no wiring schematic, nor a fuel or plumbing schematic... Does anyone have those? I have emailed GW Customer Service, but no response yet.

    Newbie here advise needed

    A Sailfish 282 in the 2004-2006 vintage years should be right around the $60K mark depending on engines and options. I had an 06 with F225s for about 7 years and loved it. Happy to answer any questions.

    Feedback on 282 Sailfish (2002 to 2008)

    I had a 2006 Sailfish with T225HP for about 8 years. Used it off of MA south shore and Cape Cod. The 28' hull provides a great ride with the 9'6" beam. Brought me home in some tough conditions, it can handle more than I can! We never used the cabin for an overnight, but it was great when my...

    Why Grady, going to the factory

    Service and dealers are top. One thing I think sets GW apart is the layout of the boat. Very well thought through, efficient use of space, best in my opinion. the fold down seat aft is also a major difference. The design enables them to do much more with the transom fish box and the...

    CC Storage Ideas

    Hi all, About to start my 2nd season (hopefully soon) with my 306 Canyon and I'm looking for creative ideas for storage. Fishing off of Cape Cod from Scituate, we often will target multiple species in a trip, meaning lots of gear. We may spend the early morning livelining for tuna, do some...

    Sportsman 18 115 HP Yamaha - Should I be Concerned?

    I had a 1999 Sportsman 180 with a 130HP 2 stroke. Was perfect combination. Friend had the same boat with the 150HP and it was too heavy, always had water in the boat as the scuppers were under. The 115HP will be just fine, but will lack the hole shot and acceleration. Unless you have a lot...

    Why a Grady?

    I had a Sailfish 282 for years and found that noone in my family was interested in overnights, so the cabin was nearly a complete waste -- except for the protection it provided with the hard top. I made the move to a Canyon 306 CC, and it was the best decision. The big CC is better for my...

    180 Sportsman or 209 Escape (maybe 222)

    I had a 180 w/130 Yam just like igblack87. Great boat and I miss it. I think the only difference between these two models is the obvious... size. I don't think the 209 is that much more capable than the 180, but has more room and storage. The 180 is easier to manage solo on a trailer etc as...

    Help with this compartment

    Agree with you and I love my 306 as well, agree with you this seems to be a waste. Can't even fit stuff in there. Would be interested if anyone has found it useful and maybe has a photo of how they use it. I will be looking for another way to use it.

    306 Rod Storage

    Wondering what other 306 Captains do for rod storage. I fish off the South Shore of MA in MA and CC Bay. We fish for tuna, bass, blues, etc. and have lots of different setups for different styles. I find my new (to me) Canyon 306 lacking in storage and wonder what others do. The under...

    Engine Flush Connector

    This is a pretty basic question, I searched but couldn't find an answer... I have twin Yam 300's on my 306 (2017) and the engines are plumbed to flushing ports aft by the door. They appear to be some sort of quick connect connection as the hose doesn't just screw on. What type of connector is...
