Bought by Grady back in November after looking for a bigger boat for almost a year. Spent the past 7 months with a total refresh. Bottom paint removed, all new hoses, thru hulls, partial rewire (removing cobbled auto store crap). Luckily had a great boss that let me keep it at the shop i...

Great info halfhitch. Trailer tire pressure should match load weight. Agree 100%

Agreed if the batteries are wired parallel the and one battery is bad it will pull down the good battery. Parallel wiring the batteries will constantly try to equal themselves out. If parallel replace both of them. If not then no reason to replace both. Pull them and have a good quality...

Vc performance application was really easy. Low nap rollers. Clean them with some masking tape before you start applying. You have to time the recoats. After 4 hours and before 24 hours. It's not glass smooth. If you want a glass smooth finish it can be wet sanded. I didn't...

Back in 2014 when my Tracker was new, it blew the main alternator fuse (20amp) on its first run. Loose bolt down connection. Imagine being towed in on the first trip out. UGH!! Checked every connection on the boat the day I got it back.

Scored a drop off sheet of smooth HDPE from the plastics store for 70$. And went to work over the weekend. Granted i cleaned the comparments under the panels which made a holy living mess. But i think it turned out great. Not bolted down yet. Still need to add 2 lowrance head...

Fuel tank

Id say it is worse then you think. The tie down buckle is pushing into he gelcoat. I'd have it looked at sooner rather than later.

Might want to check your local laws about trailering with a beam over 8ft. I had to pass on several nice boats in my area due to DOT regulations. Anything over 8ft is considered an "oversized load" It would have cost me 500$ each time I moved it, to do it legally.

Interlux VC Performance Epoxy. Hard bottom paint. No way was the gelcoat being saved.

Thanks buddy. Still have to go over again with the buffer and some polish. Few spots didn't gloss up enough, for my liking, but I'm super happy with how it turned out.

A holy living P.I.A!!!! Literally took me over a month working every weekend and a few nights a week, or as much as my body would allow. Hand scraper to get the really thick stuff followed by 36 grit random orbital sander down to gelcoat. Make sure you use the proper safety gear...

Couldn't pass up the carbon fiber poles. The guy I bought them from upgraded to the internal rigged versions $$$$$$$$ Now you have me curious. I'm guessing these things don't weight 3lbs each.

That's what I was looking for. Hmmm... I guess this is going to cost me more than I had hoped...... Boat Life!!! :p

Now that i bought them.... Scored a nice set of Marsh Tacky 15ft carbon fiber riggers. Paid $300 Just need to figure out how to mount them. :)

I saw a few Gradys over the weekend.... Hidden Harbour or Hidden Cove Marina.... Anyone from here??

First picture is the day is what delivered. The second is this past weekend. Still have a little plumbing and wiring to finish up. Hopefully by father's day she will be at the marina. All new thru hulls, scuppers, hoses, new bilge pumps, washdown pump, relocated water pickups to...

Finally a good pic. Stripes deleted, white bottom.

Just found an incredible deal on a set of marsh tacky 15ft poles. Not going to say where or how much..... ;) base options with a hard top and no mounting plates welded in. What are my options?..... Its very confusing. I would love to drop 5k on welded mounting brackets and quality...

The 40 amp breaker (red box with 40 button) is for the fuse block under the helm. Its a loaded question with battery wiring, In theory it should be house (1) and engine (2), previous owner of my boat has made an absolute mess with the battery wiring. Things hooked to things that shouldn't...
