    Grady White Deck: FIXED!!!

    Re: New Grady White Deck Cap Delamination There are few manufacturers of ANY product which stand behind their work better than Grady White. Defects happen but rest assured they WILL take care of you. They have long been known to make repairs well past warranty. I can attest to this first hand...

    Battery Size Marlin 2007 300

    Unless something has changed, and this was true of 2016 GWs I saw last weekend, the stock batteries are Penn Deka group 27. More importantly, they should be cranking rather than deep cycle. The plates are designed for different use cases. This has been discussed many times on various message...

    226 Discontinued??

    Been thinking they would drop the Marlin but without the 282, 305, or 290 I believe it will stay awhile. It has been 2004 since an update however. I love mine but a makeover just might get me to bite :D

    Noticed your anchor is not mounted in the cutout so it will free fall. An idea why? Love to have those engines! :goodjob

    Outrigger question

    Get some plastic tubing from a home improvement store and push onto the hook. I works great to keep the poles from chafing.

    Did your headliner survive this winter?

    It is a problem in the SE as well. Mine has been repaired 3 times but now has 3 cracks, 2 of which are pretty bad.

    journeyman- Marlin Question.

    I might at least consider moving the batteries if the scuppers are under water. That could be a hazard if the tube breaks and recall they are PVC since they are generally above the waterline. It might take a few dollars but it would improve safety.

    Fischer Panda info/questions

    Those FPs are great. Almost everyone us using them these days for many reasons. It should be a 4.2K as mine is. I believe they tame 30w oil but it should say in the manual. If it is blowing fuses you will need someone to check things out. Make sure your water is filled (mine uses fresh but that...

    Christmas came a little early!!!

    I believe GW uses balsa coring on the sides for strength and weight but not below the waterline. Check out the Gradybuilt section on their website which describes the construction.

    2015 models?

    100% in agreement grip. 300 is THE perfect boat for me. Moko, we have a new 2015 at our marina. It is a 257 and looks great. The new hull logo is gorgeous. May have to start looking into a new Marlin this Spring. :hmm

    WOOD-LESS MARLIN

    Sweet! I suppose it the Marlin is dropped or not updated, the Pursuit 315 will take over the 30' outboard battlewagon slot. Would be a shame however.

    WOOD-LESS MARLIN

    Speaking of Marlin... It hasn't been updated (major) since 2004. Is this a sign it is fading out or is it overdue? The Freedom series seems to be the big sellers these days.

    2015 models?

    I agree on the 290. My understanding from GW sales folks is that the 307 outsells ALL of the other 30x added together. There is clearly a trend toward DC models. The dealers mostly stock these so it is hard to determine which is cause and which is effect. It is pretty hard these days to find a...

    Is Grady Quality still There?

    All hand made boats will have defects. It is the customer service which makes the difference, and there is none better than GW.
