    fake teak doors

    Maybe try a surplus or salvage yard for a set of starboard doors. If you have to resize them it machines like wood. probably not much more work than refinishing wood, and would last forever. I say this becouse i saw some for sale at a local place recently.Hope this helps.

    radar cable routing

    I will work on getting some pictures posted, for placement i sat behind the wheel and placed it in the line of sight of my front hardtop leg so my view while under way is basically the same as before. I started at the grady dealer for design ideas, my fabricator used to make them for the...

    radar cable routing

    I took my boat to them on my trailer. Total fabrication and installation time was 1hr 10 min. I will now pull all new wires and tidy the wiring up. Only thing is it makes the rest of my metalwork look old. :wink:

    Where to launch/fish for stripers around Kent Island, Md.?

    there is a world class ramp at sandy point state park on the opposite side of kent island. Something like 20 ramps or so with 24hr access. There's lots of marinas and storage facilities in the area. I have never had any experience with them though. My Grady lives on a trailer at home and...

    282 Sailfish fuel economy

    If you email Grady customer service with your year make model and engine info they can probably email you a performance bulletin with all the info from when it was new. You can compare that to what you are getting now to make sure you haven't lost any efficiency.

    Grady Drive drain

    my threads were damaged when i got my boat, so i got a small diameter "snap to close" baitwell plug and found a piece of pipe that it fit into securely. Then i used 5200 to cement the pipe into the grady drive. plastic pipe, plastic baitwell plug, no corrosion issues, and very easy to install...

    radar cable routing

    Ahh yes a separate pipe, that would have been nice. I actually fished a gps cable through that maze years ago and thought i should have won a prize. I knew you guys could help. Thanks and keep the those ideas coming. For now I will investigate having a pipe fabricated...

    radar cable routing

    I am mounting a 4kw raydome on my 1992 factory hardtop. I have 2 rl70crc's flush mounted in the box directly behind my steering wheel. If i drop the cable into the radio box, how can i get a signal to the other electronics box? the pipework seems too small to drill the atleast 5/8" hole to try...

    Scupper Hose Replacement

    I just replaced my scuppers about an hour ago. If you still have plastic scuppers it would be a good time to to consider stainless steel. I just installed gemlux scuppers from ebay @ $40 each. If I were going to change the hose only I would cut them in the middle with a sawzall with a metal...

    1992 dolphin seev2 repower

    I am considering repowering my 1992 dolphin 253gt seev2. Thats the same hull as a sailfish with a grady drive bracket. I was wondering if anyone has a 92 or newer dolphin or sailfish with twin suzuki 175s. I would love to hear opinions from someone who actually has this combination. Thanks, Jim

    Purchasing 1991 GRADY WHITE 25 DOLPHIN WALKAROUND

    One year newer and you get a sea v2 hull. That makes for a much easier resale later. I think once you start investing in repairs and improvements you may regret not starting with a newer hull. if you squeeze a few seasons of use without major issues you will be happy. If a major repair is...

    Trailering a 272 sailfish

    My boat shares the exterior dimension of yours. I trailer it often and have never had a problem. Although i'm sure the ocean looks better than the turnpike even if the leaves are changing. Good luck!
