Direct Quote from Grady White's Web site on FAQ "Older Grady White Boats were designed for lighter two stroke Engine's". It sounds like it more of an issue with twin engines because of the 26" line and with 4 strokes because of size its 28". They say to do a weight test and see where your...

I bet if you call Grady White and ask them about this, they will not back up this idea. Having that extra weight on the bracket (thats an old boat and bracket) is a risk. You are going to put more stress on it and when you get in a big seas with a good load for that boat, you will feel it...

well we can trade boats? lol

I am glad you found my post so interesting. Wow, anyway I was just stating what it was like on my bigger 1990 242 Offshore. The boat ran good but the scuppers sat underwater. I would call Grady and get there take in it. Also I would be more worried about how the boat would do with a load...

I had a 1990 242 Offshore with a 2004 Yamaha 225 4 stroke and on a bracket and the scuppers were under water. Its more weight then you think. I hated having my scuppers under water. Make sure you check it out before you buy that 4 stroke.

awesome boat, I love the hull color and the seats look very nice. I also love the two Bow seats, looks like the kids will all want to ride up front! CONGRATS on the new Grady!

take some pictures and post them, let us take a look at them. I would take it to a Grady Shop or call Grady customer service and ask them who you should take it too. A pro needs to look at it.

ok heres some numbers from yesterday, 3500rpm, 25 mph, 23 knots and 14.5 GPH Do these numbers sound right?

Hello Tom! I did what you guys told me to do, I start out with trim tabs up and engines down, then I adjust the engines up first, Once I do this I (most of the time) barely use the trim tabs, very light on the trim tabs, and it works well for me. I find that the engine trim is a must and...

I hear that combo works good as well. BTW, You have my dream boat. :D

Go to www.thehulltruth.com Andy is a vendor overthere he has good deals on most everything with yamaha. He has a vendor thread there. Send him a pm for a quote.

Re: Pri-G West Marine is where I buy it for 23 dollars for up to 250 gallons as thats what I have with two fuel tanks. You can buy it on line for cheaper but then you get hit...

I use Ring Free and Pri-G and its been good so far. I will use both on every tank. Also Pri-G works well with E-10

You might think about keeping her. Its an awesome boat and good on gas.

Yesterday morning Diesel was at two stations at $5.09 a gallon, when I went by the same two gas stations in the afternoon, the diesel cost was $5.25 a gallon. Same day. wow, gas is now well over $4 bucks a gallon for 87 reg. Its going up from here. :shock:

Buy them from Andy at SIM. He has them in stock and its around $65 dollars each. Hes very good at getting them to you fast.

I looked at doing the same thing and had 3 1997 GW Marlins lined up with all 3 having the 250 0x66 engines. I backed out because I found out I could get a better deal on a 2000 or 2001 model and get the newer look with the nice round window look instead of the dated cabin windows the 97 has...

hehehe, I am using Ring Free and PRI-G. And Yamalube!! I don't know about the Oil adjustment but I will ask my service guy. Thanks for the heads up Tim.

I could be a little off on the MPG. I am going to write some numbers down this weekend as those were from Mondays run and I did not write them down. The bottom is painted on my boat. I love the boat as I have learned how to run her. Catches fish as well. Drifts very good.

Yes I was putting up the high numbers, it was jumping between 14.6 and 15.5 at that RPM.
