Thats good to hear cause my Grady is only a Spring chicken at the moment. :)

I bought some plugs and stuck them in the hole from the inside of my last boat. It was 10 times worse than my Grady. Hope you get it worked out though. GS

I believe mine does it slightly also but not near as bad as my last cc boat. If it bothers you I would find a different boat that makes you feel better. Try getting a seperate opinion from an independent boat mechanic. GS

Get guides and a long rope tied to the bow and pull it on yourself. Its easy after a couple of tries but you do have to get you feet wet. It helps to park parrellel and as close to the dock as you can. GS

Congrats and good luck, also, put you on a kicker motor and do some slow trolling which will allow to save on the hrs you have to put on the 91 motor. (If trolling is your thing that is) :wink: :D GS GS

GW charges the same as top tier boats like Intrepid, SeeVee, and Yellowfin, and none of them have wood stringers. Good enough for you or are you a GW robot too ?? And what kind of boats are the ones you listed? Narrow beam center consoles (my Sailfish is 6" narrower than a 36' Yellowfin) made...

If a robot is someone that looks at history of quality craftmanship, ride, comfort, excellent customer service, longevity and awards when making a decision to purchase a boat then call me whatever name you can drum up. Show me the same for Intrepid, SeeVee and Yellowfin and the top awards that...

I dont frequent the E coast of Florida but theres not that many on the W coast of FL and panhandle over to Al and MS. GS

I wasnt counting in Va. and NC but I knew SC had its fair share. You dont see many in the S/SE compared to E/NE. Didnt know if they werent marketed the same as the NE or what plays into it. GS

My boat is a 2006 but didnt start using it till this year due to the drought in the S. Freshwater so far 20 hrs. Yummie 225. In comparison to an Angler boat the GW feels like a Cadillac or Jaguar. I have the new SV2 hull. GS

Why does it seem Gradys are so popular up in the northeast (yankees) and you dont see so many down in the South (perfect confederates) :wink: :lol: . There are numerous dealers but the northeast takes the cake with Gradys. It seems it would be balanced throughtout the country. Just curious...

Get it checked out by the dealer. Shouldnt be taking on too much (if any) water with two passengers. I think I see a slight trickle in and out with a few passengers. My 222 handles and performs great compared to my last boat (Angler). I often have 6 or 7 people w/o performance issues...

I concur. Just the sound of all composite gives me the creeps as of now. GS

Show some proof of your accusations. Until you can do that, hop on your jon boat and ride off into the sunset gracefully. GS

Not totally true. Smith could keep the same profit margin no matter what material he uses to build the structure. Most GW owners trust the Grady quality, history, integrity and value of their product. Just the fact that new technology is always changing doesnt mean its ALWAYS BETTER! Arent...

Amberjack just lifted in Spain. 102 kilos. :shock: GS

Is Egg Harbor still alive? I remember those boats were floating tanks of forestry. Don't build them like they used to! GS

Dont forget to caulk the rear deck hatch! Enjoy and take good care of your new mistress. :wink: :wink: GS

I agree with the man. Everything else is somewhat new to the market, not time tested like wood. Some of the worlds best boats are made of what? 100% old fashioned WOOD. GS

Other than the wood (which I prefer) what else did you see that lacked in advances of technology? GS
