I'm going to look into this more and thanks for the info. I'm getting a new toshiba portege touchscrren in a few weeks and like other tablets I can swing the screen around to cover the key board. Then I just use the touch pen and Im all set. The best thing is if it takes a crap I send it back...

Does anyone us a laptop for GPS on this site. I was thinking of using it for my late nights stripper fishing but not shure if its cost effective. I get a new lap top every 2 years with great graphics but what would I need for the entire set up. I have an older Garmin black/white with the...

The scuppers I got from a grady dealer are stainless and are below the waterline. He said thats what they use on all the newer boats.

My older Johnson carbed 2 stroke motors burned about 24 gallons per hour at 4000 rpm. The newer Direct injected 2 stroke outboards on my boat burn around 16 gallons an hour at 4000 rpm. Not sure what motors would be on an older model Grady but if original then you would be in the 22-24...

If you are going to replace the entire scupper then go to the grady white dealer near you. They sell the entire unit in stainless steel and its a perfect match and an easy job. Also replace the scupper hose from the deck to the scupper and make sure you get the same type scupper hose as they use...

The price is ok but go thru the boat with a fine tooth comb. Pull the decks and look at eveything and if the hull is solid then your 1/2 way there. If the motors are ok yea you may get 2 to five years and remember they burn about 24 gallons an hour at cruise. rot repairs $10,000 plus Repower...

I had a pair of 89 loopers before my repower. I also never trusted the guages so I just mixed 1 gallon oil with evey 50 gallons gas. Never a problem for me again and I knew I had the right ration for the motors.

Yea what he said. Thanks Capt Armchair. :)

Either way he should put down the bottle or whatever he is doing and pick up the weilder and finish the jobs he got paid for. :wink: I feel sorry for the people who he screwed just hope they take him to court. :twisted:

Yea I have a feeling I will be for alot of reasons and the economy being at the top of the list. And after what I put into her nobody would give me what I would want anyway. Guess I will just have to suffer with a real nice little boat that runs like a champ afterall. :wink:

What Bob said. I bought an 89 Grady Trophy Pro back in 2000. I had it surveyed and for the $19,500 I paid it was a fair deal. All the wood rot things for your sake better be looked at due to costs involved in repair. Also keep in mind that a repower will cost you around $30,000 and thats not...

If you see that from your car then you have a blown head gasket.

I talked to a person who put a 250 Opti on his Trophy Pro "same hull but less weight" and he said it was a big mistake. Now I would love to see someone try a Yamaha 350 on one of our hulls and see how that would do? Not me though I'm not that brave. :cry:

I saw this question on THT and thought I would like to see what everyone on this board thinks. I have an 89 TrophyPro that would not plain on one outboard running the old 200 Johnson loopers. I think it was due to the props but could be wrong. I say that because when I was doing the repower...

This is what I use and have been for some 12 years now. http://www.milwaukeeconnect.com/webapp/ ... 198_192137 Its a beast not to mention heavy but the results are great with the right products and pads. I would not recommend it for someone who has never used one to got to town on your...

I think I will go in around last week of April how about yourself?

Well our family that be my wife 2 kids and myself have an 89 Trophy Pro. I repowered in 06 with twin 200 yamaha hpdi's and never could be happier. :D It has all the options availiable at the time and last year I did the thru hulls and scuppers all I can say about that is WAPITA :twisted: ...

I beach her all summer long only after I installed a keelguard. :D Three years now and the keelguard looks like the day I put it on.

Yep they hauled me out about the same time as you. The boys parked me down the street at the other place they have in Southold across from the chryler dealer. And like you I am counting the days when we go back in. :wink:

Forget the hype of etec or hpdi since both motors have a good reputation. With the amount of money you will spend service is going to be very important from a good local dealer. :wink:
