We had one winter at WAZZU where it was literally -50 with wind chill. Minus 50 with about 3 ft of snow. They did not cancel class, they never canceled class. Any time it approaches freezing temps here in Pensacola schools close the whole city shuts down. When I graduated I swore I would...

WAZZU winters were brutal over in Pullman. Eastern Wash is a frozen tundra 4 months of the year.

I went to Washington St (88-92) and lived on Whidbey Island. Don't miss the weather up there at all!

I'm new to Grady, but I haven't heard anything about Grady's reputation being tarnished?

Yeah, something is definitely wrong with that. That's not normal rust. Looks like acid got on those. Maybe the original owner replaced them himself for some reason with parts off Amazon. Another option for the OP is to contact GW headquarters directly. Show them the pictures and tell them...

Don't want to rub it in....but around here we boat all year... My buddy just sold his SeaHunt and bought a new Coastal 281. I know it's driving him crazy with the boat being at the dealership getting electronics installed and all the rigging. Said it should be ready next week...

My buddy has what we believe to be a Covid World Cat. Bought it new in 2022. What a mess. Rust bubbling up under paint, large cracks all over, the entire electrical system had to be replaced, the center console has been replaced twice...what a nightmare.

Here's a link to the GW warranty. https://answers.gradywhite.com/customers/s/article/Grady-White-Boats-Warranty Can't hurt to contact the dealer. All they can say is no...

They probably won't warranty it. They only have a one year warranty. Just get new parts and replace them. Since you bought it used you have no idea what the previous owner did.

There are a bunch of sites that do custom registration numbers, but I can't find one that has the Grady font or something close enough for me.

I'd like to change my registration numbers to something matching the GW font (either the actual name font or the model font). Haven't found anything that really matches. The closest I could find is the Asenine font on Boatletteringtoyou.com which is pretty close to the thin model font...

I want to do the same, but only for flags. I'm a bit of a flag-whore. My only complaint about my Freedom is that the rocket launchers are on the sides. I prefer to fly flags from the top. I'd love to find a bolt-on solution.

My buddy's Coastal 281 has sureshade and top rocket launchers. I'm sure you could find someone to fabricate something like this.

That is a really nice Grady. If you are OK with the price it's definitely worth a look.

You don't want to know what a new one costs....

I think everyone goes through upgradeitis. Bigger boats are always that dangling carrot. My 235 is perfect for us and what we do. Having looked at several bigger GWs I figure I'd have to go up to a 307 or 325 to really notice a significant difference. And at those prices I'd probably get an...

1.7 without electronics. Probably closer to 2 loaded up.

The pearl white just doesn't blend. Looks very aftermarket. The Grady Cream looks custom and flows perfectly.

Those blue crimp wire connectors look pretty new. No way they are 40 years old looking like that completely exposed. Did they even have those in the 80s?

Yeah, a 40 year old boat is unlikely to have original wiring.
