    mashpee ma fishing

    I'm right near the Mashpee Neck Marina which is where I generally get fuel (they have a ramp, not sure about transient slips) and last year I slipped my boat at the Little River Boatyard (Waqoit Bay, also in Mashpee). A few years ago (before I bought my house and got a mooring) I slipped my...

    mashpee ma fishing

    Hey cool, yeah we have a cottage on Popponesset bay and I keep my 192 moored there (in the entrance to the Mashpee River). Striper fishing, black sea bass, fluke/flounder, and bluefish fishing in that area is all great. And it's a great run from that area to Hyannis to the East (or Osterville...

    caulk?sealant

    As an update to my previous post on this thread, I re-attached the transom plate using 3M 5200 after replacing the smaller screw (that the plate popped over) with a larger screw. I coated the entire area with 5200, understanding that it's "permanent" and not necessarily recommended by some (for...

    Grady 192 repower

    I don't have a good answer for you, just posting because I also have a 150 2 stroke (Yamaha) on my 192 (it's a 2002)... I can get it to around 45 mph and it runs like a top. But I'm also interested to see opinions on this since I love the boat and would consider repowering as opposed to trading...

    caulk?sealant

    Thanks Halfhitch. I'll follow up accordingly. Everything looked dry and solid, and from what I was able to find it seems like GW started using a poly material in the transoms around 1998 so I'm sure I'm ok, but I do want to at least re-seal that area since I can't imagine it's great having...

    caulk?sealant

    I'm hoping that somebody has advice... related to this topic... I tried searching but haven't found the answer yet and I'm hoping to avoid going to a mechanic. I noticed yesterday that the aluminum (transom cap) on my 2002 192 seems to be lifting on one side and I can see the material...

    grady white 192 offshore

    Yeah I'm sure the boating on the SC coast will be great. You won't have any issues. Just watch the weather (and follow any other smart boating practices you would on the lakes). I've been well offshore numerous times in my 192 and always felt very comfortable (not sure if you have a good...

    grady white 192 offshore

    Where do you boat? I boat on Cape Cod (and Eastern MA). I got my 192 last year (my father had it for five years before that, so I've used it frequently the past several years and he turned it over to me last year since he's not comfortable going out alone much any more)... he bought it used...

    grady white 192 offshore

    I frequently run my 192 from Falmouth or Mashpee (Cape Cod) to the Vineyard and I've run a number of times to Hyannis, Chatham, etc. On any decent day I don't hesitate to take the 192 offshore. If I'd hesitate with the 192 I wouldn't really want to be out there in anything bigger because it...

    New Grady Owner Cape Cod

    Good afternoon, I figured I'd check in. Inherited my dad's 2002 192 this summer because he's "not as comfortable going out of the bay any more," so I sold my 2006 Seafox 197 center console and I intend to give the GW a lot of good use. I see a lot of Grady's on the Cape (and on the Vineyard...

    get up on plane

    Normal....You can only do what the Seas will allow. Next time in heavy seas try trimming your motors all the way down, and use your trim tabs to bring the bow down as much as possible. At those settings, you will be able to maintain plane with the lowest possible rpm. Your RPM's should remain...

    get up on plane

    Digging up an older thread here because I'm trying to do some research. I just took over the use of my father's 2002 192 dual console with a 150 direct-injected two stroke (upgraded from a 197 Seafox with a 115 4-stroke because my father rarely used the GW). I just ran the boat yesterday for...

    2WD or AWD for tow vehicle

    Living in New England (and towing boats) all of my vehicles have been 4wd/awd for many years and I wouldn't have it any other way. There is some very minor fluid-change cost occasionally to maintain the AWD system, and you'll probably lose a mpg or so because of the extra weight of the vehicle...

    Make The Trade?

    Thanks guys... all great advice. And absolutely agreed on time together with my folks. They have a place that's close to my cottage on the Cape, so getting together for boating is always a great reason to spend time together. I've ran his Grady in the Bay (Waquoit) last summer and it ran like...

    Make The Trade?

    Hello, I just joined the forum and my first question is probably easy for most of you to answer, but I'd appreciate the advice: I currently own a 2006 Seafox 197 center console with a 115 4 stroke motor. I bought the boat new in 2006 and it's been flawless. My father has a 2002 Grady White...
