    Adding a hard top to 226 Seafarer

    I've had several seafarers, one with hardtop, and the other with bimini. Hardtop is nice, especially with rocket launchers and electronics box, for trolling and storing poles and electronics. When fishing offshore though, whether underway, at anchor, or drifting, the hardtop equipped boat will...

    TERMITES! Need some answers....

    Problem with using fogs and spot treatments is that they'll kill termites present at the time, but there are still eggs that will hatch after treatment grows old. Living in Florida, termites, ants etc are always a threat to anything with wood. Best diy treatment I've come across, by far, is a...

    1979 Grady White Offshore 24 Restoration

    I see you made it over here to GreatGrady. Those pics you posted are kind of hard to make out much, maybe you can take a few of the complete splash area from a few more feet away so we can get a look at what you're working with. When I did my transom rebuild I came about half way back from the...

    1977 Grady White, our first boating season...

    Always loved the looks of the lapstrake Gradys, and yours looks like a nice one. That Buff Magic sure seems to do a nice job. I may get some to try on my dull finish.

    Ran out of gas, both engines will not start

    Probably lost prime in fuel lines when gas ran out. Remove fuel/water separator, fill it with fuel and reinstall. That usually is enough to reestablish prime and fuel flow through fuel lines.

    plb or epirb that is the question

    Are most of these PLBs and epirbs pretty much created equally, as far as broadcast distance, frequencies, service lifespans, etc? I'm planning on a purchase soon, and don't much about the various products.

    Purchased my first grady white f26 tigercat in love!!!!

    Congratulations on your new boat! Maybe you can show us some better pics that are right side up, but she looks nice from what I can see. I'll bet she'll handle nicely once you get over the learning curve for operating a cat type vessel. Wishing you fair seas with her!

    Help, first time buying a new Grady!

    With now having a 258, you may end up deciding to run offshore some, and should probably give twins another consideration. I sure would. Just my opinion.

    Wiper Info needed

    I have a 1989 24' Grady Offshore model boat that was missing windshield wiper arm & blade. The motor & pivot is there and working. Can someone with a similar model Grady give me the measurements of the arm & blade so I can get replacements? I would imagine the 20' Overnighter and the 22'...

    Possible seafarer 226 purchase

    First two pics are standard scuffs and nicks on transom corners. Third pic showing cockpit drain area shows some gelcoat cracking, which is also fairly common on this age boat. It is not normally a crack in actual fiberglass, just the gelcoat covering. It can be scraped out a little, cleaned...
