    Saddest day of the year

    I am fortunate to have the Gulf Stream 60 miles off the beach here in southeast North Carolina. It moderates our winter temps a bit and keep pelagic fishing going year round. Of course, it's damn cold running over 50-60 degree water for 55-60 miles before you get to the 74 degree stream, but...

    Put down a deposit

    I doubt it actually sold. THT is on fire about that boat at the moment. Willing to bet the seller marked it as sold to save face.

    Put down a deposit

    Funny, that guy just posted on THT that the boat is sold. Seems like a lot of negative responses followed from there on that thread. The very first post on that thread was from January of 2018! That boat had been for sale for almost 3 years!

    Put down a deposit

    That boat has been for sale for a long time. I actually spoke with him when I was looking for my 330 Express. Actually got to the point where I was arranging the survey, and the guy went quiet on me. About the same time my boat popped up for sale in Rhode Island, and that was it. Sounds like I...

    #$%^&$% Fischer Panda!

    Don't even get me started on Farryman. Probably 8 voicemails and an equal number of emails to them. No response. I am not sure they have a North American operation anymore.

    What size boat before it changes how you boat?

    I had a 273 Chase, and when I went to a 330 Express, I was afraid my solo cruises were over. About 5 or 6 trips into owning the 330, I felt fine rolling solo. You will get used to anything in time. The better question is, how big can you go before the work of opening it up and then packing it up...

    #$%^&$% Fischer Panda!

    Yes, I did originally. I got a big, "Huh, not really sure," which then got me to get the factory authorized local service guys involved. Heck, the service guy asked if we could ship it straight to them so they could look at it, and they said "no."

    Boat Insurance?

    I have Progressive. I went to USAA, and they send their members out out to Progressive rather than write it themselves. The Progressive website was great. You can fiddle with the coverages and deductibles and see what the resulting premium will be. It makes it easy to get pretty much the exact...

    Help, please... blower switch?

    Same on my 330. It is a rocker switch on the electrical panel located in the cabin. It doesn't jump out at you.

    #$%^&$% Fischer Panda!

    I am reading good things about the Nextgen. I reached out to them yesterday for more info. We'll see. If anyone has put one on their boat, I'd live to hear your thoughts on them.

    Wicked Tuna

    I have to admit I watch that show, even though it is fake. Almost like a man's version of the Real House Wives of New Jersey, I guess. I actually had the opportunity through a friend-of-a-friend to go fishing out of Oregon Inlet on a tuna boat from up north. It was not one of the boats on the...

    #$%^&$% Fischer Panda!

    Bill - yes, we went down the oil pressure sensor road. I have had 2 separate guys that I got off of FP's website tell me they don't know what is wrong with it, and it would cost more to figure out than the thing is worth, and even then it still might not run right. Hence, I am done with it...

    #$%^&$% Fischer Panda!

    I have posted on here a few times about the low oil pressure problem on my FP 4200 4 mini+. I had it taken out of the boat and brought to the local FP factory authorized service guy. He calls me today to tell me that he has been on the phone with FP, and they pretty much told him they were not...

    Whats the best Grady of all time?

    I have owned a 222 Fisherman, a 273 Chase, and a 330 Express. Of the three, pound-for-pound (and dollar-for-dollar), I would say the 273 Chase was the best. Again, we are talking about comparing Floyd Mayweather to Mike Tyson here, one may be a better fighter, but he is not going to win...

    Hah! How about re-titling the thread to "What is the best Grady you don't currently own?"

    Boat T-Shirt / Boat Image Generator / Etc.

    If I had computer drawing skills, I wouldn't need the image! Good thought, though.

    Boat T-Shirt / Boat Image Generator / Etc.

    I want to get some boat tee shirts made. I wanted to put a stock drawing of a 330 Express profile on back. Similar to a lot of boat tee shirts where there is a simple drawing of the boat on the back. Does anyone know where I can get that image in a format I can legally use and send to the...

    Can an adult couple sleep in the v-berth of the 300 express? 330?

    Keeping in mind my wife has yet to spend a night on it, I think the most comfortable way is to use multiple sides of the v-berth triangle. Taller husband can have is head in the bow and feet down in the starboard, stern corner. Wife can put her head in the port, stern corner and her feet towards...
