    Grady White Craziness on the Hull Truth...

    Ever notice the double standard over there when it comes to Yellowfins? There's never a negative or non complimentary post, the price point of YF is simply not discussed ( higher than a Grady). Please don't take this as anti YF, I love those boats, but the double standard is ridiculous.

    Grady White Craziness on the Hull Truth...

    To listen to some of those guys you need a 34' YF CC to catch Crappie... Lol Seriously that board seems to cater to the tournament fishermen or wannabes, can't compare those types of boats to GW. Don't get me wrong, I love YF boats buts it's not what I need right now.

    Trim question

    This is my first full season with my F225, while cruising around in Galveston Bay yesterday I was having trouble controlling the bow rise. Is it better to use the motor trim or the trim tabs? What are your thoughts?

    Grady White Craziness on the Hull Truth...

    Its like anything else, it comes own to envy. You have something that is considered top of the line, they can't stand it for whatever reason, then the bashing starts. I suppose it makes them feel better about themselves and their boat. You see the same thing on the car boards, sadly, it's very...

    Dry dock damage

    Took my 225 out on Saturday, heard a noise coming from below, sounded like a loose line or cable slapping the hull. Brought the boat back to the dock and sure enough, the transducer for my Lowrance was broken off and slapping the hull (stern). The most likely explanation is the fork lifts used...

    Power pole question

    I've been thinking about this as an option too. BTW I'd be interested in your opinions on the 225 since I just bought one.

    New 225

    The boys were thrilled! we have wanted a boat for a very long time, I looked at a lot of boats over the last few years, but I kept coming back to the GW. It's going to be a great multi use family/fishing machine. How far do you all go offshore with a single engine (Y300)? Not planning to go...

    New 225

    Took official delivery of the boat yesterday with a short shake down cruise around the bay. I am very impressed with the boat and the guys at Marinemax, they spent a couple of hours with us going over all the features of the boat. In addition they taught me how to dock the boat- a skill that is...

    New 225

    Thanks for the replies! I will take any advice offered at this point. I have already taken the Texas Boating Course, even though it's not required, which I find unbelievable. if you're born before 1993 you don't need it in Texas, I guess they think your drivers license is good enough. I couldn't...

    New 225

    Hey guys and gals, I just bought a new 2011 Freedom 225. I'm going to use it for bays and light offshore/nearshore fishing/family activities here in Texas. Very excited, it's our first boat and it was a long decision process. I looked at a lot of boats over the last couple of years, ultimately...
