    GW support times slowing down? GW future??

    cut them some slack All retailers are hurting, expenses going up, problems mounting with employees who are having their hours cut, less money in the till.

    Retail price was about 102k and show price was around 80k. Still a lot for a boat that is 24 ft. I wonder if that amount of discounting is available on a new Grady?

    Penalty Flag I would protest the committee. What is the intention of the rule? 1- Is it to eliminate members that are not wanted? 2- Is it to make room for friends further down the waiting list? I lost a race once at another club because the protest flag I was flying was not at the...

    Best Selling Grady White

    prices going up There is a lot of competition in the 28 to 30 foot market. Raising the price point will definetly be a factor for most buyers, especially with trade-ins at depressed levels and banks fine tuning their offers. just my 2 cents
