    8 Month Follow-Up, Etec 150 G1 on 1983 Seafarer

    I have owned Yamaha four strokes in the past. Twin F200s that had the corrosion issue. Have also owned a 200 hp G1 etec as well as currently own a 60hp G1 etec. As well as many other outboard. For ease of maintenance, weigh savings, general power etc. The Etec wins hands down. Such a nice...

    268 Islander height?

    Nice. I searched all over the inter web and couldn’t find that one piece of info. Fully familiar with the tides here. I used to keep a Parker 2530 at my dock for 8 years. It was 88” to the top of the pilot house. One reason for a switch to Grady. I could always fill the bilges to get under on...

    Any links to specific threads to help me out a little? Needs and expectations? It’s a boat. For us basically going to be a third boat in the fleet for mostly inshore fishing and island hoping with the occasional run to Montauk and maybe a little shark fishing. Anything more than that we use...

    268 Islander performance questions.

    How does the 268 Islander perform with a single 250hp OX66? Seems that is common power as well as twin 150s. I had a Parker 2530 with twin F200s that I thought was a little over powered. Single 250 ok on this hull?

    New here, looking for Grady

    Hi all, Just joined, looking for advice on what Grady to look for. Want a boat in the 23-27 foot range, would like enclosed head, 1or 2 engines, mid/aft cabin would be nice but not a must. Most important, must have folding Bimini, no hard tops. I have a bridge on the way out. What Grady...
