If your sound system is the same as in my 255, I assume the head unit is located in the port side tub where the drink holder is. I had mine out twice to upgrade the head unit. Taking out the tub itself is not a big deal. But getting it around the companion seat was. I had to remove the seat off...

Have you considered the 235 Freedom?

I would find it odd that the GW sales staff would not have discussed enclosure options when putting together a sales contract. Something must be missing when the boat was delivered.

Google "boat lettering" There are numerous online vendors that have almost unlimited colors, styles, fonts, and sizes. BoatUS is one of them.

On my boat, there is no in-line fuse for the bilge pump circuit(s) but instead a push button breaker at the battery switch panel. The bilge pump circuit remains hot even when the batteries are switched off and is protected by the breaker.

Agreed. Its appears they were not properly beveled and driven too tight.

As mentioned above, a 2022 model boat should be under warranty top to bottom. Talk to your dealer. Secondly, it appears you are new to boating or at least your new Grady. Grab a flashlight and open every hatch on the boat. With the owner's manual, identify and familiarize yourself with every...

My Freedom 255 does the same and I have never been able to figure it out. When at the dock, I will turn the motor so the weight is more on the SB side to balance it out.

Correct their transom cap issues once and for all.

Probably a gallon for a single coat touch up.

I along many others here have crawled around our share of Cobia's. Seahunts, Robalo's, and Ket West's, etc., at our local boat shows. As far as I am concerned, none of them compared IMO to the fit, finish, and curb appeal of a Grady. As others here mentioned, I consider GW to be somewhere half...

I remember the old BBS boards back in the day before THT. I remember one particular individual named Dunk who was sought after for professional advise on a daily basis. I still check THT on a regular basis. There is still some bits of good info over there if you can separate out the crap. Many...

Because the boat is almost new, I would likely not get a full blown survey but would have a Yamaha mechanic do a YDIS printout and possibly a leakdown test. Some advocate having a survey done on a new boat right from the factory. I am not one of them. Nor do i keep my lawyers number on speed...

Pursuant to THT lore, my boat should have sunk or burned by now due to a rotten transom, wood stringers, or bad wiring. Surprisingly, it still floats. :) All jest aside, there is simply too much amped up testosterone floating around over there.

If budget is not a major consideration, I would look at the Freedom 235. Great all-around family day boat that can handle the water in the CB if it kicks up and is easily trailerable. I think a dual-console of this particular size will do everything you want it to. As far as the other boats you...

Digital and don't look back. My digital F300 is now 10 years old and has not skipped a beat. I'm kind of surprised than on new builds mechanical is even offered. My only complaint is that my binnacle is getting a bit sticky. It has one rough spot when accelerating.

We travelled to Halifax to purchase our 255. We brought a cashiers check for a portion of the payment and the balance was wired within minutes. The sellers bank was able to easily verify the check. The transaction went well. No way would I go through customs either way with a bag full of cash.

I bought our Freedom 7 years ago with a bit over 100 hours on it. My fogging procedure is to pull the plugs and spray some fogging oil into each cylinder. Bump the starter, spray some more and then button it up. No issues so far. My boat also sits from Nov 1 to early April. Not sure, but even...

I have a rough spot on mine as well but the kicker is that mine is digital. No cables. Been researching how to take it apart to give it some grease but to no avail so far.

Water could also be getting in through the liner/hull box joint under the rubrail.
