always looking for a skinny first mate - lol!

Never thought of it (shows my history on I/O boats). Trick to marking alignment?

Wish I had that kind of money!

How do people work on the port engine right side when twins are present. My skinny you son is in Germany with his F35 squadron so he is out and I am well over 230# so not fitting between engines. Over the top? Minor work with control cables but worried of dropping clips and pins. Too late for a...

Note the local dealer has VIN and is to get back with me next week if rep has other ideas and thoughts.

Met with local dealer today. Went though the math with many questions. Boat, motor and gear are within 100#. Where it gets dicey is fuel as I have twin 92 gallon tanks. If both were full he agreed trailer was not sufficient. Recommended not traveling with more than 20 gallons in each tank...

Great comments. Concerning to say the least. When I purchased the boat and trailer never thought it would have been undersized thinking they were paired up. My old trailer for my Bayliner Ciera 2655 was much beefer and never thought to swap out. Hindsight now. Currently I transport the boat...

In another post there was a trailer that appeared to be undersized for a Grady White. My son and I have questioned the trailer I got with the boat last summer and want expert opinions. We would like to trailer from Burlington VT to Lake Ontario this August and want to be sure we are in a good...

Best to pull from console or engine? Going to do this over next two weeks.

Don’t mean to hijack this thread but being the most current have ask. Are the control cables in a conduit shared with other cables/wires? Want to pull all four at once if possible.

Can’t image 21 years of challenges but the quality time you have in front of you both sounds like a blast. Enjoy no matter what you catch!

For me it is all about your intended use. I always wanted a GW for better fishing opportunities Including deck space. My older boats were fine when kids were younger but now we brave the elements and having a proven boat makes the wife feel better. Agree with others as I purchased older GW 232...

Went back and looked at the repair slip and the shop told the previous owner he should replace both. Owner refused for some reason three years ago. The one set replaced described as a cut (split) and serious rust. More to come.

Thanks for the advice. Will be another wee or two before I can take the cover off and start playing.

When I purchased my GW 232 with twin 150’s last year I was told the starboard throttle and shift cable was replaced. Not sure why both weren’t done in pairs but that is another story. During the summer noticed both idle at the same rpm but when moving forward the port engine lags rpm’s (nearly...

Can’t help you with your motor questions. Boat looks clean and hope you find your answers quickly to enjoy this fabulous boat!

I purchased a 2000 Grady White Gulfstream 232 last July. Boat previously was located in Maryland (now on Lake Champlain – Vermont side) and included outrigger poles. Never thought about how I might use them for freshwater trolling and after not see much on YouTube other than saltwater videos...

A lot of work you are nailing it. Great job and thanks for the blow by blow!

Thanks for the heads up!
