    Bimini

    I looked into that for my new (to me) voyager....it's actually probably going to be cheaper to buy custom......Grady OEM stuff isn't cheap.

    Boat is going to be trailered....I live 5 minutes from the marina... Power is a 1997 250 OX66 EFI - that only has 150 hours on it! Motor checked out great by mechanic and ran like a champ on the sea trial. I've got a few things to fix - one of the thru-hulls is cracked, a few hose clamps...

    Dual Binnacle - Yamaha 704 work on suzuki?

    Thanks for the tip - I'll look into it. I think I may just try to stick w/ the original side control somehow because a new dual binnacle control is going to run around $650.....so we'll see if I can make the other control work. As for the Yammie motor - I'm excited about it. I've never...

    Any idea of cost and install of GW hardtop on Gulfstream?

    I just priced it from the fabricator who makes them for grady - depending on options (prewiring for electronics, lights etc) top of hte line, all options will cost you around $7500. How much was your hardtop from Redman Marine? I like the look of the top they did for you!

    Shipping a Grady

    Thanks everyone for the good advice. I'm going to look into the cost of replacing the bearings and races and have a chat with the seller about the condition as well. I have had discussions with him about this and he is confident the trailer is ok. It was just serviced, and had new surge...

    Shipping a Grady

    Wow - thanks for all the responses. I am inquiring of whether the bearings and races were recently replaced. I know the trailer was just serviced professionally, including repacking/greasin bearings (trailer has bearing buddies). A brand new surge actuator was installed. Tires were...

    Shipping a Grady

    Thanks everyone for the info. Here's what I've discovered - Trailer seems to be up to snub, so I will probably have it towed. Cost from Ventura, CA to Bellingham, WA: $1300 - $1500 based on uship bids/quotes. A flatbed door to door (with boat on its tandem trailer) is 1900, assuming...

    Yes-- its on a trailer, but I do not want it towed that far if I can avoid it...I do not know the full condition of the trailer, and want to avoid that kind of wear and tear if possible.

    Help finding Marine Surveyor in Oxnard/Burbank CA Area?

    Thanks as well. I called Schock boats, and while very nice to speak with, they did not give me any recommendations or even names of surveyors. They said brokerage laws in Cali do not permit brokers to recommend surveyors, for fear of "collusion." I understand the purpose of the law, and...
