    Grady drive corrosion and soda blasting questions??

    I've gotten a few opinions on the condition of the bracket and it seems to be fine. My greatest concern is what product I should use to touch up where the damage has occured. I will take a better set of photos once the paint is stripped and the aluminum can be seen without the poor condition...

    Grady drive corrosion and soda blasting questions??

    Hi all, I've got 2 great seasons out of my 1990 228. Last year I did a mid-season bottom paint and zincs. There seems to be an electrical problem in the marina, the zincs were gone and now there is some 'minor' corrosion of the drive bracket, which I beleive is the term for the extended...

    Dash latch?

    Can someone direct me to the plastic dash latch, or overhead cabinet latch on a 1990 Seafarer? West marine seems to thing it's specific to Grady, but they are as clueless as myself. Edit: Also, new dash emblem? It's about the size of a cig lighter?

    22 Seafarer questions??

    Thanks RM! So the rocker switch is better than my toggles w/ fuses? Would you engrave the rocker or panel? Also, being that winter is not going to break anytime soon the local shop is gonna bring the boat in. They are a high volume World Cat dealer and swear by the Lenco electric tabs. The...

    What is this worth 1997 G.White 208 Adventure w/ Yamaha 150

    Thought I would mention Honda offers 4.99% on 4 stroke repower, and I may have seen 0% from Yamaha. This made it possible for me to get the bigger boat with new power. Also check this site, I've seen a few good deals in the last couple of weeks. http://www.mmboats.com/boats.php?status=0

    Rushed purchase. Did I do OK?

    On my way home from selling my 18' Wellcraft I stopped by a friends dealership and tried to pry him down on the price of a 22' seafarer. The boat is a 1990 w/ the same year power(new powerhead). I explained about how I dont care to have a 19 year old 2 stroke, so he offered me this: I paid...

    20' vs 22'

    Thanks for all your help. I have decided to persue a 20' with the big power. The performance pages were alot of help when making my decision. To achive the 50+ speeds it appears that a small CC is the only way to go, or spend big $$ on twins. I hope to have an update in the next week or...

    20' vs 22'

    CJ: Thanks, I will definatly consider the smaller motor, I didnt realize what little performance gains are made on the bigger outboards. I have considered a center console with big power, but will never be able to run it in cooler temps because of the wet divers, so thats out. The water is...

    20' vs 22'

    Thanks alot for the replies. I am dead set on a cuddy, reason being, in the spring and fall we've come out of the water already chilled to the bone. It will be nice to have a warm dry cuddy to change in or get wrapped up in blakets if someone turns a little blue. I'm not real concerned about...
