    Grady White 180 Aft Seat Question?

    Can't figure that out! I have a 2000 180 with the top slides on the aft seats...my son as a 2004 20ft Grady Tournament with top snaps on the aft seats. It appears that something is not right. :huh GOA

    YAMAHA F150

    I agree with the crowd, the 150 is a bit underpowered. I have a 180 Sportsman with a 150 Yamaha and it is great, however my son has 20 ft Grady with a 225 and that is a much heavier boat that needs at least a 200 :goodjob if not a 225. My two cents. Best of luck...and do it right, :goodjob GOA

    1999 Grady White 180 Sportsman value?

    In the NY/NJ area they are mostly Yamahas and of course it is always based on condition, hours and maintenence records. I'd say 11K to 13K without a trailer. I have a 2000 180 Sportsman with a 150 Yamaha and love it. :) GOA

    Covering a Moored Boat

    Just got a quote for a 205DC mooring cover custom-made at $1000. The canvas fabricator said that if you are racking the boat, a drawstring semi-custom would be much cheaper GOA :wink:

    Roller vs. Bunk Trailer

    Application is the key...If you are regularly trailering the boat there is nothing like rollers. I have rollers and they're great, boat is easy off/easy on!...my son has bunks with his Grady and it can be very tough especially on some ramps. Can't comment on the specific model you are looking...

    180 Draft

    I have the same boat, year, model and engine...I agree with DB...under two feet of water, and generally speaking your going to be in trouble. However the 180 is a tank and one of the best boats in its class!!! GOA 8)

    Adventure 208 Owner Needs Electronics Advice Please

    An "out of the box" thought...Some Sitex GPS/FF/Sounders come with a quick release bracket which makes installation on top of the console a very viable option. At the end of the day...simply snap off the unit and bring it with you. Their 7 inch screens are big enough to be very clear...even...

    '99 180 second battery placement?

    Battery I added a second adjacent to the first under the starboard stern seat...also added a switch. The added weight also helps the port list so often found in 180s GOA :D

    I need a GPS Color Chartplotter and Radar in one unit HELP!

    Another option As I mentioned in an earlier thread... Si-Tex Color-Wide is another option...7 or 15 inch screen, great graphic images and a "quick-release mount" for added security...you simply take it with you. You will also save a few bucks. GOA :wink:

    No barrier coat...removing bottom paint

    I have a 180 sportsman...the previous owner had a slip and the boat had an ablative bottom paint. Since buying the boat, I only trailered it. I would like to get rid of the flaking bottom paint and get back to an unpainted hull. The boat does not have a barrier coat since as the boat flakes the...
