Do you mean the joint along the rub rail? When I had the boat surveyed this week, he had wet readings up along the top 8 in inches of the hull in some spots 5 or so feet back from the bow. How many hours did you put into that job? Came out nice. Also why all the drill holes? Were you looking...

Providing an update here on some findings. The boat was surveyed as noted in the original post. I met w/ the surveyor yesterday while he was going through it. There was noticeable water wicking in the area of the thru hull to the port side of the leaning post. It was his assessment the water...

Thanks I appreciate you taking the time to reply w/ suggestions, and the photo. Here is what I got from Grady White : They only had the fore section image. Nothing for rear. This is what I got for an explanation: "Here’s a photo that shows the inside of the hull on the 306 Bimini that shows...

Mine is soft down to and below the water line along the side, but not below the edge where it wraps under. If it weren't for that I'd be with you on less urgency, but the where it is loose along the paint line has me more worried. I am suspicious the trailering straps and respective pressure...

Thanks I have the boat at safe harbors boat yard in my geo. They will evaluate in the coming days. I already had the transom done 2 years ago when I repowered. I waited until they determined the rear end was worthy of repair before ordering the engines. My error was I should have done as survey...

When I had my transom rebuilt, they sent the spec sheet on how it was constructed. I have a call in to GW requesting the same for gunwale/hull. Left message for Carolyn Ray and waiting to hear back. I am prepared for the worst news, but hoping for something better.

Including link to a video showing the issue if it helps.. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pgaMkbfDAwN8wgjTWUH1_Za-okj3OBZk/view?usp=drive_link

1999 30' Grady - Bimini 306 - Center Console I recently had my boat transported to the boat yard where some work is going to be done on engines (2023 Suzuki 250s) I noticed there was a scuff mark 4 feet back from the rear of the boat. The transport strapping scuffed the bottom paint onto the...

Thanks more snaking and pull strings to do I guess.

Hello - I'm undergoing a number of overhauls in the off season, one of which involves replacing the ox66 engines with Suzuki's (on order). I just sold my original engines and this weekend and as part of that package the new owner wanted the rigging. So I removed the wiring harnesses and...

And here are the final pictures. Sorry about the delay. I was waiting on them to put on the finish end cap. I do need to order rub rail end caps. The original ones are pretty much worn out so have contacted GW to find the model. If I can't find. I'll improvise. So instead of the crappy...

Almost done.... will be done by Monday. That green fiberglass corner board is going where the aluminum cap was.

I had a 263 before my 306. Liked the boat, but I will tell you the 306 is sooo sturdy by comparison. Can have 6 guys on one side. No tilt. Good luck w/ your project.

I ordered the 250 APs - awaiting a delivery time frame now. Expect to get some rebates related to boat show pricing also. 55.3K installed w/ gauges/props/controls/rigging

They are not from what understand. I think they are still working through it. There is the cap which Grady white provides not visible in the photos. I expect they will adapt that some how. I asked about fiberglassing to the port (where you can see the old putty) and starboard edges, and he said...

A few more pictures today. The metal resting against the hydraulics is the template for engine mount holes. As mentioned before oversized holed will be filled w/ epoxy. Will line up the template against the already drilled holes in the aluminum rail which is out of sight on the front side of...

1999 Bimini 306 - 30'

One more from today. Shop was open so i stopped in. Gelcoat sprayed on. Will be sanding and adjusting as needed. Should be done by end of week

The rebuild so far. More layers to go. Things to note... The aluminum cross bar had to be sanded down and primed. The mounting holds on the aluminum cross bar will need to be reference points for where the new bolts will be drilled. There is going to need to be some coordination between...

And here's where I am.... No sign of rot in the stringers. So I am 90% committed to ordering new Suzuki 250s. Suzuki dealer will not put on 300s since boat is rated for 500. I just don't know if I will go with the 250AP or the 250T model. I have more research to do to understand the...
