    Fiber glass looking new again....any suggestions???

    I like the 3M Marine products .. I use the Marine cleaner/wax on my current boat it does a great job ..., on my last boat I used the 3M heavy Duty (36 Pacemaker) that hull was pretty bad when I bought her .... it was amazing how the 3M brought back the shine ! .. Good Luck ! Tom

    SeaTow or TowBoat?

    Bob ... Honestly I don't know what TowBoat US even charges //// I guess most people I know chose SeaTow because they have such a big presence in Wildwood / Cape May area ... their boats are everywhere you look .....and for the price your a fool not to sign up ..... Tom

    SeaTow or TowBoat?

    We have a Seatow boat on our dock ... Billy (sea tow capitan) in previous years would go 'trolling' for business on busy weekends ... but since the cost of fuel was so high last season he sat and waited for calls or monitored the VHF for 'distress calls' .... ... In my area we have both SeaTow...

    GW Deal? Other Random Questions

    I agree with 1st Grady... the cost of a Survey will give you peace of mind and may save you thousands of $$$ ..make sure whoever you hire has Grady experience and double check the transom for moisture ... if you have a mechanic it would prob be a good idea to check compression and basics on the...

    Cruise Air ??

    I had one when I owned my 1973 28' Pacemaker ... It was a PITA everytime we took the boat out ... we had to take it off and leave it on the dock ... but It worked great .. it kept the cabin of that boat nice and cool .... if the choice is 'CruiseAir' or 'No Air" ..... easy decision for me ...

    Overnighters with brackets

    I don't see why you would want to disconnect the oil injection and mix the fuel .... .. I would leave it, make sure your alarms all work correctly .... much better than mixed, especially if the boat sits for periods of time ... the gas/oil mix in the tank will change .. .. Always keep extra oil...

When I bought my Grady from a private seller last year, I was hopeing to use the dealer in Wildwood as my source...
