    Looking to plumb a freshwater washdown on my T275

    I just bought a 2010 Tournament 275 (which won't be splashed until April). One of my projects before launching the boat is to plumb a freshwater washdown for the boat. Although it has a 20 gallon freshwater tank, and a handheld shower at the stern as well as a sink behind the helm, I'm told by...

    Question about the Tournament 275 - First Post!

    Gators 2000 - I purchased a 2010 Tournament 275 about a month ago (but will not have it splashed until next April). I moved up from a Seaswirl Striper 2101 DC. I love the dual console layout, although I hate to admit I don't fish (and may get kicked out of the Great Grady forum for saying...

    Yamaha prices for filters and oil

    Just-In-Time: I hate to correct you but from what I understand (and have researched). Ford and Yamaha have worked together on the design of a number of engines (and it appears that Ford tapped Yamaha's engineering expertise rather than the other way around). Ford has not been shy about saying...

    Cleaning while mooring

    My last boat was a 21' Striper (Seaswirl) Dual Console. It had as a factory option a freshwater washdown which my boat didn't come with. I had looked into installing the factory components as well as aftermarket components (like a flexible bladder storage tank and a pump). When I looked at...

    Cleaning while mooring

    Take a look at a Nomad 12 volt pressure washer (you can find them through Google) - Amazon has one for $39.95 at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UO5DDO (I paid over $150 when I bought mine a few years ago). It holds 3.5 gallons of water (which is enough to wash your entire boat). I carry...

    What’s in your on board tool box?

    I would add Rescue Tape or Atomic Tape to the list. Although pretty expensive stuff, it's better than duct tape for a number of repairs. I also keep a large rubber mallet (for when you need to hit something but don't want to damage it), a pry bar (haven't needed it yet - but will someday), and...

    Radar Arch - leave as aluminum vs, powder coat? Spotlight?

    The aluminum would be anodized. That said, in the salt environment, it will start to corrode more quickly than stainless (which depending on the type of stainless, is more corrosion resistant). I know that waxing the aluminum (some have said that Woody Wax is a great product) will help to slow...

    Radar Arch - leave as aluminum vs, powder coat? Spotlight?

    Any chance you have a picture? Just curious if you would powder coat in white or in a color closer to the hull color (I acknowledge the free advice is worth exactly what you pay for it - yet I'm still asking). Thanks, Ken

    Radar Arch - leave as aluminum vs, powder coat? Spotlight?

    I am having a radar arch fabricated for my new Tournament 275 and am wondering what people think about whether I should leave it as is (exposed aluminum finish) versus having it powder coated? The cost to powder coat it is pretty reasonable. My big concern is that the Grady hull is an off...

    What GPS/Chartplotter/Radar would you recommend for a T275

    Bought the T275 from Cataumet Boats in Cataumet MA (although I'm actually dealing with their Barrington RI location). They are fantastic - I can't say enough great things about them. Buying a GW is really a terrific experience. I had a few questions and e-mailed the factory. They have been...

    What GPS/Chartplotter/Radar would you recommend for a T275

    A few weeks back I ordered a 2010 Tournament 275 with twin 150's (to replace my '06 Seaswirl Striper 2101DC). Needless to say I'm very excited about upgrading to a Grady White and the Tournament 275 seems like the perfect boat for me (I don't fish, mainly do day cruises, and go out by myself a...
