On Grady’s website both marine head options, one manual flush, one electric flush, show holding tank, macerator pump, and overboard discharge. My guess is the flush supply is from the freshwater and the valve you need to access is for emptying the holding tank overboard, when in waters where...

I recently sorted through the F250 variations. 2023 Gray, Offshore Series, 25” , retail list XB - 26,100. add digital control +~$2500 add digital control and steering +~$6000

Nice! She ought to go with that on the back. Looks like the pooch is ready, too!

^^^^ this. Not a fair fight…the big kid wins every time.

I think either the 350 or 400 Verado would transform the performance of your boat. Being rated for 500 HP I wouldn’t be concerned with the transom other than some maintenance after removing your old motor. You can get digital controls and I think digital steering making it fairly easy to rig...

Love the fully stuffed dash!

I try to give the motor some good exercise every outing. Not for extended periods but 5500+ rpm for a few minutes. The 4.2l motors, I read on the internet:cool:, can “make oil”. The “fix” for that issue is high rpm runs for extended periods.

Looks like there’s going to be one at the Annapolis Boat Show: https://annapolisboatshows.com/powerboat-show/boat-list/ October though….

I was considering adding an assist pump to a new build recently and the dealer was quoting a Sea Star unit. Pump itself was ~$2,600 retail + install. This was for a single motor. Generally, the pump needs to be close to the engine and battery. Assuming there’s an existingSea Star cylinder, those...

After seeing this thread I compared the 218 and 215. The 218 is roughly 500 lbs heavier than the 215. I think you would regret not going with the 250 on a 218. The 200hp on a 218 wot is 39mph. On a 215 it’s 42-43mph.

Which F250 did you order? XSB? I ordered a 215 last week which is the same hull I believe, also with a 250. Interested in your experience and congratulations!

i had a 2004 Seafarer 228 that would get an 1” or 2 of water in the cockpit when you had a couple guys in the back of the boat. Also had a ~2015 Tournament 225 that did the same thing. On that boat, Grady supplied scupper plugs. Both of those boats were bracket boats which likely exacerbates...

Yes, they need to be moved so the hull isn’t resting on the cradle cross beams. When I’m setting my lift up for a new boat I measure the distance between the new boat stringers and set my lift cradle bunks to be centered under the stringers. I think this supports the hull ideally and you don’t...

I used Caj Flynn to move a Grady from Pompano to Charleston using their trailer. He loaded it, prepped it (taped hatches shut, etc.) and launched it here. I don’t know if he does west coast swings. 303 570 4325

Thanks! I dealt with Kenny at Seels Mt. Pleasant back in 2004 and would see him at the boat show every year, so I went back to that location even though Sav. Hwy. is much closer to where I live. Plus, they had a 215 I could crawl over there. Unfortunately, Kenny is sick and in the hospital, so I...

As another poster mentioned, If you have ac power where you store your boat invest in an onboard battery charger. It doesn’t have to be a high amperage unit. 5 amps per channel is plenty. I‘ve had the Noco Genius on a couple boats and they’ve worked fine. Also had a Guest brand that worked well...

Perhaps a wives tale, but I’ve always thought to never change the battery switch position while the engine is running. In your scenario, I would go to 1+2 or “both”, start the engine and go boating. You’ll be charging both batteries so half the available current going to each battery, but if the...
