    Broken toe rail

    Had the same thing happen to one of my toe rails but it was within the one year warranty so the dealer replaced it. It looked like the screw hole was drilled too close to the edge so it lost its strength and cracked. The replacement has been fine and haven't had any other problems. Good to...

    How to fully drain the livewell?

    Gregsnow, here is what I have found with my 222 livewell. If I pull the plug when the well is full and shut of the pump, the well will drain almost completely; just a little residual water in the bottom and not enough to cover the bottom. HOWEVER, if after it drains and I rinse it out with a...

    Cushion cleaners

    Ditto on the Formula 303 as a protectant. Much better than armoral; doesn't leave a greasy feeling and lasts longer.

    do you need a cheap boat?

    Alan, I was out your way a few days ago. Stayed across from Marina Del Ray (wow that is one BIG marina). I was paying about 3.95 for the car in the LA area. I walked around part of the marina and saw a few Grady's which was nice to see. While I was there I didn't see a single boat leave...

    Is Grady Construction worse than they tell us?

    Gregsnow, I have a 222 also and noticed the rear deck access panel on my boat was not caulked either. I noticed I was getting water in the bilge when it rained or when I washed it down, so I caulked mine with GE almond bath caulk. That solved the water problem and if I need to remove the...

    Closest GW dealer to Casey Key, FL

    Not sure where on Casey Key you'll be but you may want to go to Ingman marine in Placida which is about 20 miles south. You'll stay out of the Sarasota traffic too. Ingman has another location in Port Charlotte but that is probably a little further. Here is their website...

    Rejex question

    TBone, I did pretty much the same thing you did to the top of my gunwales which take a real beating in the sun down here. I get a lot of oxidation and it always gets slopped up from fishing and hard to keep clean. So after I cleaned it and waxed it I put the Rejex on in the evening to let it...

    Gas

    Yamaha recommends a minimum of 89 octane for the F250, which is mid-range, not 93 octane premium. Indicated in the owner's manual.

    222 Fisherman-Bow casting platform Fold-Down seat ??

    Melkat, I don't have an answer but I was thinking about doing the same thing to my 222, so I would be interested in any ideas anyone has. A forward seat would be really useful for fishing in Florida where these seats are used especially for tarpon fishing. I've looked at mine and it looks like...

    Opinion on Ingman Marine in Placida FL

    I have dealt with Ingman Marine at their alternate location in Port Charlotte and have had nothing but excellent service and response from them. Bought my boat from them in 2006. I believe they continue to be one of the top rated boat dealers in the area.

    Center Consoles

    I see them around here (southwest FL) although I see just as many Grady WA's. I think the center console market is so popular there are just too many choices and the Grady is pricey compared to some competition (although you get what you pay for). You couldn't pry mine away from me-I love it!.

    222 fisherman questions

    I have an 06 Fisherman 222 with a Yamaha F250 and love the boat. I use it mostly in Florida where ethanol in gas hasn't made a big appearance yet. I did have it in Illinois last year for the summer and used 10 % ethanol gas with no problem. Grady dealer here recommended changing the fuel...
