    How does your 30' and up Grady White Ride ?

    That is good info on the tower effecting the ride, I never have heard that. It took me a while to get the feel for the 33 I was moving up from a 21 sea hunt, so it was whole different kind of ride. Once you get the hang of it it does fine. It does tend to waller if you let the bow dig in...

    Purchase of 2002 33 Express? - Any insight appreciated

    I am pretty sure you (or the current owner) can call Grady White with the hull number and they can look up the recall history. I know there was also a recall/redo for the gasket that seals the transom access door under the bench seat.\

    Trailer Manufacturers and Options to Consider for a 282

    I had WESCO build me one for my 330 through my local Grady dealer. Seems like a good trailer to me, but it is still new.

    Purchase of 2002 33 Express? - Any insight appreciated

    I have a 2002 and it is an awesome boat. The only things I would make sure to check out are: 1. The tower legs to the hard top are they loose or leaking. 2. How is the generator holding up from a corrision stand point. With those new engines you will be very happy for years.

    Generator Replacement Advice express 330

    The theory is corrision has taken its toll. I won't know the full deal until they pull it out. The gas one I have made it 5 years I guess I was lucky. Sounds like the diesel retrofit is the way to go.

    Generator Replacement Advice express 330

    It appears I may have to make a decision on a generator. Do I go back with gas or spend probably twice the money (or more) and go with the fischer panda set up? I am leaning towards the FP but would welcome input. I guess what I need help with is will the FPs really last longer than the...

    F250 Warranty Extension Question?? Yes or No?

    I have had to "get in the back of the line" many times since I bought my boat used. One suggestion would be to determine which yamaha shop can best handle the haul out requirements for your boat and buy the extended warranty from them with the understanding you get treated as if you bought the...

    F250 Warranty Extension Question?? Yes or No?

    I opted not to purchase the extended warranty and wish that I had. Once stuff starts breaking, everything is 1200 bucks a shot. I had four stroke 225s and my advice would be if you think you are going to run the hours up over 1500 (the point in time mine became problematic) I would get the...

    Table for rocket launcher pedistal

    Does anybody know who would make a table that would fit on the pedistal for the rocket launcher? I was thinking of something that folds with drink holders.

    Grady safety issue/question

    I read somewhere that a couple of nerf footballs on board can slow leaks caused by irregular gashes in hulls/fitting areas. Thankfully I have never had to test this but it would seem to make sense.

    Shell Shock: NY Boat SHow Prices

    Another factor that comes into play is how weak the used boat market is. Consider this: Three years ago I paid 170k (too much in hindsight) for a 2002 330 express. I used the heck out of it, ran the engine hours up to 1700 or so and decided to sell it. Since I figured it would have to be...

    Shell Shock: NY Boat SHow Prices

    I will say the new 330 has a lot of features I wish I had: A/C in the helm Freezer Plates A/C in the head Upgraded Interior Plus of course the big motors. Comparing the 2008 330 to my 2002 ain't exactly apples to apples. But you guys are right, who would have thought dang near a...

    Bow Thruster Question

    I just had one installed by Florida Bow Thruster. I think they go all over the country, they hit me on the way back from the Regulator plant. The boat is still out of the water so I have not used it yet. They use the Vetus brand. You can call 1-866-thruster. I had decided not to put one...
