Keys After navigating the Keys for the first time this past weekend, I can surely tell you that a paper chart is your best friend, also stay alert for the LNM broadcasts for any changes. It was blowing gusts up to 30kts, and the seas were another story, so hopefully you will have better...

fuel sensor Read the Johnson owners manual its available online, it has a section related to anti-siphon valve restrictions on these models. I learned the hard way after melting one down. Hope this helps.

fireboat you can check it out at metalcraftmarine.com it is a firestorm 50

Well its been a long winter and I am ready to strike out on an adventure. I have put a few hours on my old Grady in the last two weekends and am thinking now of taking a little trip. I would like to check out Charleston and am looking for suggestions on where to dock for night. I would also...

scuba rack I would be very interested in seeing some picture of how both of you have the racks mounted. Thanks, Mike

Gross Tonnage Grady customer service gave me the exact Tonnage for my boat, 24ft 5.1 gross tons, had to do the same thing for my license paperwork.

Offshore Should be a 25inch length outboard on your model

offshoe I have an older offshore and it runs great with a single 200hp johnson ocean runner. I am running a 15x15 prop loaded down close to 40 mph. Actually have to back the throttle down to keep her in the happy range. Hope to see another of these old beasts on the big pond

powerhead those holes are there just for lifting, no bolts are left in there...looks like it should, just find some bolts that fit the thread size of the holes..wish I could remember..and use a washer or two with some chain and hoist away. Its designed to be used for that. Dont mess with the...

hoist You can make your own, cant remember the thread size but there are three fine thread holes in the flywheel for lifting, just use fine tread bolts and washers with a piece of chain. Should do the trick Yea I got the 1996 ocean runner rigged and running for 2k

offshore prop Thanks for the advice, haven't even thought to check with my prop shop both my props are stainless. The rpms will run around 6200 to 6300 WOT, but at 3400 its planing good at around 28 MPH and feels like the motor is barely working. These numbers are from GPS and include 100...

offshore In that case I may stay with the prop I have, the 19pitch came on the boat when I bought it, but never got a chance to run it due to a power-head failure. I kept the old prop. When I re-powered her the dealer put the 15x15 prop on, but I have to back down or it will over-rev. So...

Offshore 24 I have the same boat, same year and everything. Its rated at 290hp..I am running a Johnson 200 ocean runner, and it ran out last time with a good chop at 38mph, with a 15x15 prop. I may get even more when I try my 14.25x19. but its plenty of power. I know the 4stroke would be...

I/O boat Thanks for the great feedback. I currently also own a 2005 sea ray I/O and love it for cruising. I just wasn't sure how the Grady following was on a I/O, but can see its quite strong. I will surely keep this one on my short list. I really enjoy my offshore and it would take a great...

I was at a boat fabricating facility getting a estimate on a couple of modifications to my 1980 Offshore 240 and the owner wanted to see if I was interested in trading my boat and a couple of grand to him for his 25 sailfish, with a new 454 I/O. It would be a good deal if it had outboards, just...

good trailer for sure I have a older 1980 24ft offshore, but have her on a 2007 tandem axle heavy duty aluminum trailer with disk brakes. The trailer is more important than the boat itself...No trailer = No boating.
