Agreed, sounds like you are propped as good as you're going to get. Good move on the 4 blade over the 3 with the heavy loads. About fuel, Do you have the twin tanks? If so run with the big one full and the small one empty for better performance. Fuel is a massive weight if you don't need it. I...

Mine came with a portepotty that has hoses coming into the base of the cuddy then go to a Y valve and a deck mounted pump out on the starboard side. Also mine has a macerator pump. That's alot of plumbing for a portepotty. You'd see the hoses if you have them in the starboard storage area under...

My line does foul sometimes.

Hey guys, just thought I'd share some photos that are hiding in my computer. Let me know if you want to see more of the Pacific Northwest. Sekiu Washington, on the Straits of Juan De Fuca. September 2020. Fishing for Silver Salmon. Canada is 7.5 miles a way, the border is the middle of the...

Nice, You get around with your boat! I'm used to trolling with downriggers but not so many poles are allowed where I am. How do you keep the lures separated behind the boat with out downriggers or outriggers?

I use a Lewmar 700 on my bow pulpit. Many people do. I imagine your pulpit is pretty similar. Need to cut a big hole and it works great.

Ya the gauge panel was cut on jigsaw with plexiglass blade. It’s 1/2” thick. Cut super clean actually then I filed edges. 3/8” thick would be ideal. I had to design the bottom panel in CAD then get my dad to cut it out with his CNC router. It actually didn’t cut as clean as you’d think because...

I haven't yet, low priority in my mind compared to other hoses.

Like the look of the modern stuff like yours. Gorgeous boat in that color! To those that want to put a slick carbon look on a plexi panel... Pick your poison: https://amzn.to/36EcO8x Black aryclic panels look money, and match Grady's black panels. Bottom one, I cut on CNC and top one (added...

Wow Timcan you sure got her to shine. How bad was it to begin with? We have similar year 228's. My gel coat was didn't shine at all and I'd like to improve it. What products methods did you use to buff it out? Good idea on replacing all the hoses. luckily the former owner replaced most of...

No one has brought this up but think about all the obstructions normal fishermen have. I put 2-4 rods in my rocket launchers, raise my antenna(s) and my anchor light. No way your going to have your radar above all of those rods. I do wish I had motion trails, so that could be worth it...

Fishtales, mind sharing what the Fiberglass guy is going to charge to replace your transom? Which boat do you have BTW?

Sketchywind, Wow this is the best flush mount electronics security I've seen on internet. Thanks for the idea I need to figure out how to build this. Mind if I ask you some questions? Is there a metal plate behind the electronics to mount the ubolts to? Would you do anything different if you did...

I just spent my stimulus check on A new depth sounder. Got the garmin striker 7SV. Hopefully it will help me get some more bottom fish. Somebody’s got to keep this economy moving!

If you bought a new Grady, then I think they'll tell you whatever want to hear. "This fiberglass is all metal"!

What are your goals? You didn't post how much weight your running with those numbers but sounds like you are propped pretty well considering. And that speed is great. My friend had a 91 Gulfstream that came with twin 130 2 strokes original. It could only do 25mph on his tired motors. No idea the...

I've got $250 on it. Did I win?

Weird he's not answering why removed. But beggars can't be choosers!

Mine is cored with foam on a 2001. I hung 5lb speakers above my head and it's thru bolted. The electrical power is already there in the electronics box. Yes the wires run through tubes and mine is full of about 12 wires. Pulling them isn't fun on a Grady, leave a weed wacker line there as a...

I have the anchor light mounted directly behind my radar. Next time I have the boat out I'm going to pay more attention and see what I see as far as blockages. I do notice that my targets are better at rest vs on plane and it's the angle for sure. If your scan strut solves that problem you'll be...
