If you’re only up for deciding between Suzuki or Honda only, I’d go twin Suzuki 140’s with their digital throttle controls. They’ll weigh the least at around 410-420 lbs a piece. If you’re considering other brands, Mercury makes their FourStroke series 115 and it only weighs 359 lbs a piece. I...

A couple different things would be that... A. It's possible someone has swapped out the scupper drains themselves, though probably not. B. If the drain hole is 1 5/8" you wouldn't want something that's the exact same size as it would never seal or fully open all the way. Which is why I believe...

Yeah, those look like they've seen better days. In regards to the ones in the cockpit, if your boat is anything like mine they've got the ones with the one solid bar going through the center of them, pictured in the first link below. I think your best bet would be to replace them with something...

I didn't realize they came with a plaque like that from the factory. I'd post a picture of it on here as well as measure it out, then I'd contact someone like this on Etsy, send them a picture and the dimensions of your plaque and see if they can make a replacement for you. Yours I'm guessing is...

A link to your Craigslist ad, for those that might want to see some more pictures. Good luck with the sale https://boston.craigslist.org/nos/boa/d/marblehead-2002-grady-white-adventure/7846687687.html

I've never seen a plaque like that before on any of the boats that I've ever owned or operated. Just about all boats are likely going to be wired slightly different from one another depending on the manufacturer, how many outboards they have, batteries, accessories and so forth that you have as...

I just replace the rubber scupper flaps before the start of every season and then pull them off at the end of the year so any residual water can drain out of them. When I first bought the boat, the rubber scupper flaps were of an unknown age and did the same thing where if someone stood in the...

You could always leave the one up at the bow and then put a second flag at the stern of the boat, or elsewhere if you felt so inclined, as I doubt anyone would say it's unpatriotic to fly two American flags. Or another idea, as mentioned above, is that you could even another flag like a military...

To the OP, here's a 2007 Grady White 226 Seafarer for $45k and a new repower. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2007-grady-white-seafarer-226-9765453/

To each their own. I'd much rather have the extra fishing space on the 228 Seafarer as well as actually having a full sized live well, the added safety of a fully enclosed transom, transom bracket and so forth for passengers onboard the boat. I'm coming up on owning my boat for the 5th season...

I mean... I think it's more for other reasons as to why there aren't many Grady White's that have the transom bracket on it anymore as opposed to strictly the function of it alone. Imo, there's only 3 GW walkaround models left, 5 if you include the "Express" models, of which it seems to me like...

My thought process would be that like with most things on paper, they generally look and sound much better than they actually are in the real world. I imagine the tests that the company runs are in perfect conditions to be able to get the absolute best results possible. Another thought that I...

Seafarer228G will see that you've donated and remove the ads from your account...

First of all a couple things here.... I'm definitely not an expert here, nor do I have any experience with the boat/outboards in question. That being said and from a basic numbers standpoint, your boat is rated for a maximum of 750 hp, so you're already at that. You could always in theory go...

I mean true... it probably wouldn't be my first choice, or even second or third... but you could at least check out the quality, fit, finish and layout of the boat to see if it's even something that you're interested in?

I have no experience with Scout, but there's one at a place called Legendary Marine in Destin, Florida which appears to be about 20 miles away from you. https://www.legendarymarine.com/details/scout/277-dorado/8ce77678e37a843864ee90f349b9d221/

Good luck with the new boat, post a few pictures of her when you get a chance.

They are definitely quite aggressive and the website when using my computer was almost unusable before because there were so many ads popping up and moving all over the place. I didn't mind paying the $10 because it goes towards a good cause, but sometimes I'll check the site on my phone while...

You got extremely lucky, could've been much worse than what it was.

This post that talks about the ads. If you donate $10 or more to the site via PayPal, the moderators will make sure you don't see all of the ads. Well worth the $10 imo, for a multitude of different reasons. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/google-ads.38842/
