My Radar Arch was fabricated by Fastech (www.tttops.com). They did an outstanding job and were great to work with. I've seen a Tournament 205 or 225 that they did a ski tower for that was awesome. I'm sure you can get an Arch fabricated for your boat. Good luck. PM me if you want more...

I had a radar arch fabricated for my Tournament 275 so there's no reason why you couldn't have one fabricated for a Tournament 205. If you have the right chartplotter, radar is pretty cheap these days. Figure at least $2,000 to have an arch made (although you could always put it on a pole...

I have a 2010 Tournament 275 with twin Yamaha 150 4-Strokes that was launched for the first time in April this year. I now have 65 hours on the motors and the starboard engine leaks a small amount of oil into the splashwell when the engine is tilted up (to port) at the mooring. It's definitely...

Sealoft - I'm sorry to disagree with you on all points, but I too own a 2010 Tournament 275 and couldn't be happier with the boat. I don't see any of these issues as "design flaws" but rather as "design choices". No factory built - stock boat is going to be a perfect fit for every boater. If...

I have a 2010 Tournament 275 with twin 150's and although I've only had it in the water for two months I've already put about 50 hours and 700+ miles on it. It's definitely a heavy boat for its size, and I concur that the trim tabs are very responsive given the size of the boat. I too have...

Just curious what people consider a reasonable tip when a dock hand helps you tie up at a dock or when you come in for gas? Often times I'll tie up at a marina for a short time and the dock hand from the marina will be at the slip and take a line or two? Likewise when I come into the gas dock...

Beautiful boat! I too continue to be impressed with my new Grady (a 2010 Tournament 275). Having purchased the boat new last fall but not launching it until April 15th this year - it was a long, cold winter waiting for spring to come (and first splash). Although I had a two hour sea trial on...

Glad it worked out for you. I find that I can get 4-5 washes at the mooring if I'm careful about how much water I use each time I rinse off the boat. I do bring three gallons of fresh water out to the boat in my dinghy for mixing with soap to use in a bucket so that I'm only using the water in...

Just curious how many Grady owners carry a Sea Anchor. It seems like a very worthwhile piece of safety equipment - although the good ones are expensive (true sea anchors versus drift socks). If you really carry what they say you should have in terms of size of sea anchor, rode, swivels, etc. -...

Mine is tapped at the sink. I would go with the sink as it's easy to access and easy to fix (if you make a mistake). Because it's a pressurized system, wherever you tap is fine because your faucet will allow you to turn it off when not in use.

My dealer had checked with Grady White about the pump capacity and Grady said it should be fine. Having been using it for the past six weeks I'll tell you that I get pretty good pressure (it's not high pressure by any means but it's enough to rinse the boat off during a washing).

I just purchased a 2010 Tournament 275 which also has a 20 gallon fresh water tank. I too keep my boat at a mooring and wanted to be able to clean the boat at the mooring. I had my dealer tap into the freshwater system at the sink and install a stainless steel washdown faucet connection (I...

I had the mooring service company make that determination (they do a lot of moorings in my area so I left it to them). I'm really happy with the setup and think it was definitely worth the upcharge for the added peace of mind.

I just installed a new mooring for my 2010 Tournament 275 and went with a Helix Mooring (http://www.helixmooring.com/) which is actually screwed into the ocean floor. I researched it thoroughly and learned that a Helix Mooring is the strongest type of mooring available (assuming proper bottom...

I just took delivery of my 2010 Tournament 275 with twin 150's a month ago and noticed over the weekend that at 3900 RPMs that my port engine was burning 6.7 gph while my starboard engine was burning 5.6 gph. I thought this was odd (although admittedly this is my first twin engine boat) and...

I took delivery of my 2010 Grady White Tournament 275 with Twin Yamaha 150's on April 15th this year (and of course absolutely love the boat!!!). My question to other Grady White owners is how many of you carry spare props on the boat while boating? The reason I ask is that with my prior boat...

They are 150s. I debated each power option and although the 350 initially sounded interesting, I was convinced that a single engine didn't make sense. I then looked at the 225s and 250s and was told that the increase in weight made the stern tail heavy and that although you got a little more...

Thank you both. My wife thinks that I'm sick in that I put the day I took delivery of my Grady White up there among the great moments in my life along with the birth of my two kids and the day I got married. Then again, it was my wife who encouraged me to trade in my 21' Seaswirl Striper for...
