    Yamaha XTO 425’s

    I hadn’t gotten that far (to the Internet) and I wanted to cut to the chase and hear what boat owners here thought. I’ve been a beta tester with some motorcycles and wanted to avoid the same with $55g’s worth of pistons. Beta testing is no fun. I’m sure early 350 users can attest to that. I...

    Yamaha XTO 425’s

    Anyone know anything about this motor, how long it’s been around, is it a blown out 350, brand new design, reliability issues?

    Why a Grady?

    Yeah, the 456 was my first choice, but if I get a used 336, the leftover cash can pick me up 2 new Ferrari’s.

    Why a Grady?

    I’ve considered the cabin models, but too much $ to be spent on features I won’t completely utilize, which is why I like the Canyon 336; it has enough under deck to be useful AND versatile. Thanks for your input.

    Why a Grady?

    I’ve gone back and forth on that decision many times, and I think you’re right about 2 motors. I have several reasons why, in no particular order: 1) your reason 2) I’m told boats handle better and outperform those with 1 motor, though I don’t know how 3) I want to get 25’ and bigger, if I get...

    Why a Grady?

    An update on my research for any of you that are bored... While I love the layout of the Express models, particularly liking the 2 330’s I’ve been on, we simply are not going to sleep on the boat and I want to spend the money on useable real estate on deck, so, cabins are definitely out...

    Previously Owned 2018, 307 Freedom Input

    I’m envious David. I’ve been doing my due diligence preparing for a Grady purchase, and after initially deciding on a 275 Freedom, I went and took a look at a 330 Express this past week. While it was a gorgeous boat, I just didn’t see overnighting in my future, so the cabin aspect of the Express...

    Took the Grady out of the water today

    Do me a favor and hunt some deer near my house.

    Insurance for a 330 express

    Seems to be big discrepancies in premiums, just like with my motorcycles. I could tell you stories! Bottom line, shop around.

    Take it E-Sea

    Gorgeous. I’m going to be looking at one tomorrow. I’m guessing it’s too big for my needs, but it’s the only Grady I’m interested in that I would consider taking out to open waters via the Oregon Inlet in the OBX. You tube videos of that Inlet scare the bejeezus out of this wanna be future...

    Warranty question

    With motorcycles anyway, service intervals are done ‘in the neighborhood of’ the mileage mark for the reasons you’ve stated.

    Wet weight of a Grady White 275 with twin F200 and tandem trailer?

    They say memory is the first thing to go...my bad.

    Wet weight of a Grady White 275 with twin F200 and tandem trailer?

    The 275 Freedom is 4972lbs. dry. 184 gallons of gas @6.3lbs is 1159.2lbs I believe the motors are right around 950lbs. each. Save 950lbs. using a single 300. No idea on the trailer. Too close to your limit methinks? Trailer brakes are a must have. More importantly, to me anyway, is the...
