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...

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/

If your boat is currently set up for a single main motor, I think repowering with a single would be the most cost effective way of going about doing it. If money isn't an issue then you could always look at twins, but I think the biggest consideration would be your particular boating/fishing...

Congrats! Very exciting!

There are a multitude of different marine parts stores online as well as you've probably also got a few locally nearby. When you're talking about the scuppers, are you talking about the style with the tab and the one set screw holding it into place, or the one with the four screws...

Hopefully they're a decent quality product... Home Depot is oftentimes pretty hit or miss in that regard. I typically always go to a place nearby called Tacoma Screw, they've got great products and their employees are very knowledgeable with just about anything that you might need.

I think that's a bit of a rumor or hearsay. I've got a 2004 Grady White 228 Seafarer and have never really noticed any issues. That being said, I'm not trying to back down on game fish as fast as I can. I rarely ever use reverse unless I'm docking or pulling out of a dock, even then it's still...
