    Cockpit depth measurement?

    How and where is the cockpit depth measured on Grady? The advertised cockpit depth on the 235 Freedom is 25". On the 255, 275, 285, 307 and 325 it's 27". Where is that measured? Seems odd that there is only 2" difference between the 235 and 325. I know the 285, 307 and 325 have a wider...

    Engine paint...Grady white vs Yamaha white

    I am very glad I went with the Grady cream. That Yamaha white just looks out of place.

    Engine paint...Grady white vs Yamaha white

    Some folks have wondered about painting the engine with the Grady cream white vs just getting the basic white Yamaha. Here's how they look. This really shows the contrast in white colors. Basic Yamaha white. Grady cream white.

    Negotiating new 2023 Freedom 235-need help

    I bought new back in March because at the time all the late model used 235's were all close enough in price to new that I was comfortable paying a little more and have peace of mind that there are no hidden issues. Prices are coming down a bit, so those two used ones posted earlier look like a...

    2022 Freedom 235 electrical issues

    Just curious, is there a plug in adaptor that can be installed? I have a power outlet on my dock and was wondering about just plugging the thing in when not in use, especially in the winter when it sits there for long periods.

    Negotiating new 2023 Freedom 235-need help

    Sent you a PM. Buy once, cry once. Get it over with. Once you get over the initial shock of how much these things are you won't regret it.

    Hey, just sent you a message on the Hull Truth forum. I'd recommend giving Dan Diebes a call at the Pensacola MarineMax. My discount was $25K off MSRP. Plus I negotiated painting the engine free (about $5K option) and they put in underwater lights (the wife really wanted those). Tell Dan...

    New Yamaha color ?

    Whatever boat color you choose, get the Grady cream color engine. Really adds a smooth custom look to the whole boat. The pearl white would really stick out against the cream.

    2022 Freedom 235 electrical issues

    Not much to add other than I killed my battery #1 a couple months ago by accidentally leaving it "on" for several days. Switched over to #2 and ran the boat for a couple of days and it eventually charged #1 back up to normal. I guess my only contribution is that the batteries should be...

    New Yeti cooler pad with GW logo

    Got a new Yeti Tundra Haul and had the local SeaDek company make a GW pad for the top. Came out pretty nice. Contact Castaway Customs if you are in the Gulf Coast area. They also did a custom helm pad for the boat.

    flushing

    I think I'll give that a try. My little plastic adaptor that snaps in to the flush port under the gunwale seems to get a little more difficult to pop in every time I use it.

    Anchor chain length?

    Anyone know how much anchor chain Grady's come with in their 23-27' boat lengths? I thought I read somewhere that the 235 comes with 50' of chain. The rule of thumb is generally 1 ft of chain for every ft of boat length. I was talking to someone with an older 235 recently who is having...
