FYI - Links for 14 and 15 don't appear to be working.

Eneded up going through uShip which got me with Mike Reed of Finger Lakes Marine Transport. Despite a severe low tide that delayed getting the boat to the ramp on the DE side, Mike worked with the situation, had to stay overnight to get the boat in the morning when the tide was right. He was...

Thanks for all suggestions and all the cautionary tales. Have any another question for any of you out there. What should i expect or make sure are in a written agreement/contract for transporting my boat?

Hey All - Finally made a purchase and now need to get my Gulfstream from the Millsboro, DE area to Long Island! Aside from uShip, does anyone have any local suggestions for transporters in Delaware? Much appreciated!!

There are plenty of variables, but would anyone have thoughts on how much a 1999 Gulfstream with a 2003 Yamaha F225 with about 225 hrs go for? Boat is very clean, has everything it should, has electronics (radar, gps, sounder, radio) though they are a few years older (probably original). Your...

I really appreciate all of the replies! With a good amount of thought, I have decided that I am really going to focus on finding a SeaV2 hull and this one is not. Thanks again - I really appreciate all of the responses!

Ah yes - That would have been helpful the first time around. I updated the subject! Daman - I will send you a PM shortly - Thanks!

Might anyone have some time to perhaps look over a grady I am seriously considering? I do not live in the area and wanted to get a better idea about the boat before I plan a trip down there, find a local surveyor, and make some serious moves. Would anyone be able to help, or make any...

So I guess for me, I'm still learning and just trying to understand the importance of the gelcoat integrity. If it's been well maintained, what do i need to worry about, or do i? Is the gelcoat something that with proper maintenance upkeep and reapplication anything i need to be concerned...

Now - Might I be concerned about the actual condition of the gelcoat? Being that its been in Florida it's life? anything else to scare me? Still working on getting down to see it before I start even considering writing checks.!

Thanks all - You're responses have all been very helpful. I guess if I decide I like the boat farther away, i'll need to get down there and take a look first hand. I've heard that while its very good to have marine surveyors arent always worth a whole lot. In any case - I'm guessing its...

So far as it sitting, it sat before the newer engine was put on, is that less of a concern? Theoretically, you'd think the scuppers would be ok as he'd had the boat with the 4-stroke for 6 years, but it looks like this can be an issue based on a few other threads. Do these model years 93...

Thanks for the reply! Both have hard tops - I will need to double check the electronics, but I think they're about equal in that department. If I go with the boat that's farther away, I would probably have it transported and wouldn't see it in person until it's at my marina, if that's makes...

Hey Folks - I might be getting ready to purchase a used grady and wanted to get some advice. Boat 1: 1993 246 Explorer with 2004 225 Yamaha 4 Stroke (205 hrs) One Owner, Well Kept, Lift Kept. Fresh water flushed after each use. Professionally cleadned 4-6x yr. Minor cosmetic issues here...

I'm wondering if the Offshore 24 ever had the CV-2 - I did some searching, but still not sure on this. Does anyone happen to know if any of the late hulls on the Offshore got the CV-2? Thanks!

I am interested, and its a great looking boat - It's just a bit outside my price range. Trying to balance the CV2 with a newer engine over an older hull and newer engine seems to be the tipping point in price point right now. Would like the newer hull, but don't believe I have to have it...

Thanks Vero - I've looked at a couple with single and a kicker. Do you guys think a pre-cv2 hull is a deal breaker? ie, An older hull with a newer engine?

Thanks 3rd! - I think that advice makes sense, a bit hard without much general boating background to make the proper assumptions and guesses on particulars, but with some friendly advice and the right mechanic/surveyor, that shouldn't be a problem. My next big question will be weather I...

Hey All, New to the forums here and looking for some advice. I've done some searching and read quite a few threads on the topic, but can always use some "customized" advice. As a child my family had a Offshore 24 for a handful of years (loved it) and now it's time for me to get into the...
