    Installing a boat table

    I was thinking in the cockpit on mine. I want a table out there but I'd rather not do a floor mount because I have seadek and i'd have to cut it. question, on a 330 express, there are multiple inspection ports running down the centerline of the cockpit floor. would a floor mounted table...

    mystery water

    If you are on the hard, go out there at night and have someone shine a light from outside all under the cap and vents, where pulpit attaches, anywhere you can think of. If you are inside you may be able to find it. If it only comes in when running the boat, I'd guess its coming in above water...

    265 rear bench seat options/ideas

    I added a side folding bench on my 330. It could easily adapt to the rear of a 265 like the earlier pics shown in this thread. I got it from elevation marine. comes in a few different lengths too. color and pattern nearly indentical to factory grady. Elevation Marine Folding Bench

    330 with Verado 300/v8 question.

    I'm still playing with engine height but I'm WOT 42.5mph, fast cruise 4900 @35mph at 1mpg, slow cruise (slow for me) 4500 @31mph, 1.2/1.3mpg. I have verados with 1.85 lower units. I'm running 17p enertia ecos, engines mounted at the very highest position. oceandansar gets better numbers with...

    Pulling the trigger on a pilot house on the 228

    having it "lean" back like it is makes it look professional and not like some dude just made it. I really like it!!

    Repower for our 2001 Express 275

    merc v8 250 is also pretty light, not much more than your current 3.3L yamahas. If the boat is rated for 500hp, those engines would make it very fun. Lots of torque. you'd also gain some transom room. tall and skinny engines vs. the 3.3. I just replaced 3.3L 225 yam four strokes with 300...

    Pulling the trigger on a pilot house on the 228

    wow that looks great! I'd love to fully enclose my 330 like that. can't stand the canvas and can't afford 500k for a newer one that has the full enclosure already lol

    Marine decking questions

    I had installed on my 330 express and have 2 full seasons on it. I use the salt water washdown to hose off fish blood as it happens. I’d do that with regular nonskid anyway. With that said, if find it easy to clean. Most stains come out with a standard garden hose nozzle. I did the storm...

    Yamaha new outboard

    I’m underwhelmed by the fact it’s not a v8 as I think a lightweight small displacement 8 cylinder provides a ton of grunt and good economy in this siclass … but the f300 is pretty legendary and if this new engine is similar, then it will make a lot of 330 express owners happy when it’s repower...

    2005 330 F250’s

    Small world! I had 225’s. I also gained about 7mph pretty much everywhere- cruise, WOT. She moves pretty good. It needs to, I come from Sayville and it’s a long ride. I go there 3-4 times a season. My brother-in-law lives on old neck creek off the forge river and he’s a regular at Gunn.

    2005 330 F250’s

    Do you go to great Gunn? I have the dark gray 330 with 300 white mercs. Think we have waved to each other a few times. You anchor out over there? Unless I have the wrong person.

    Grady Express 360

    The guy I bought my ‘04 330 from replaced it with a 2020 330 express. We keep in touch and he loves those 425’s

    Does anyone have the new SHARROW propellers on their Grady white 330

    I think any expert in any field would be a little dubious about a product which makes the kind of claims that sharrow does.

    Grady 330, f300 outboards best mount height and propeller type and size

    It goes against everything i've ever read on engine height. However, my antiventilation plates look to be perfect yet my boat is slower than others with same power. Not by a lot. losing 2-3mph. I may lower them down this winter. I can always put it back.

    Grady 330, f300 outboards best mount height and propeller type and size

    could this be because of the deep v at transom with the large spread between the engines?

    Lighting of Electronic switch panel

    I’d get new switch covers from new wire marine. Laser etched and the words light up instead of translating the hieroglyphics. You can do that whole panel for about a hundred bucks. You can also custom label switches. My Grady came with the fuel gauge select switch as “acc1.” I had one...

    Grady 330, f300 outboards best mount height and propeller type and size

    You won’t find many, if any, factory performance reports for a 330 with f300’s….best you will do is what you already did- seek out others with repowered boats. Seems the 330 went from 3.3l 250’s, skipped the 300, and went straight to the F350v8. with that said, I have noted a few things...
