Got one already but thanks! I shopped online for a new one, printed off the best Ad, took it to my local West Marine, they met the price ($446) and I had it home the next day! No shipping $$ and I'll end up with a few WM $15 coupons in a few weeks! I'll pop it in this week. Kai, sounds like you...

Great info guys. The upgrades all seem to be good ones and many, no doubt come from Grady owners! My wife is an intregral part of our boat purchases so it's important that she get "hooked". She really liked the 2011 that we inspected closely at the Palm Beach Boat Show in March. I will make...

According to my 2003 G-W Brochure, the 330 was Max Rated for 500 HP. My 2004 brochure shows a Max of 600. If I'm not mistaken, insurance companies will balk at going over the max rated "for that year". Plus, there may be a good reason why the 2003s were max rated at 500...... Ya might want to...

Hey thanks for that great report george! I greatly appreciate it and that info will be very helpful. The big thing that appeals to me in an 08/09 would be the fact that it's not very old. Our three previous Gradys (1993 208, 1994 252 Sailfish, 2001 Marlin) were between 5 and 8 years old when we...

Do you guys have the Yamaha Fuel Management System gauge? I use the amount of fuel used from the FMS and subtract that from a full tank which is a known quantity. My FMS reads out about 3% more fuel used than actual which keeps me on the side of being conservative when the gauges get down near...

Is the 33 certified for 600 hp? If not, your insurance may be invalid....... or........ maybe get GW to give you a certified letter that it's good for 300s....

I've seen one of those advertised and admit that I didn't know about the 300s! Our friends who showed us their 2008,330 with 350s and it was a former Boat Show boat and was loaded! Very nice! Not a fishing boat though as no outriggers, weak in electronics, etc..... It sold 6 months ago for...

I just ordered a new tach from simyamaha. The guy there told me that it's cheaper to just buy the whole tach rigging kit kit than to buy the tach only. The cheapest I could find on just the tach was $353 and I ordered the whole kit for $269! It can be used for 2 or 4-strokes with just the flip...

If yours are gunnel mounts, I may be able to help you. I mounted my Lee's a few years ago and "learned" a few things........

Thanks for that info! I have a Grady dealer just two miles from the house and an awesome Yamaha Certfied mobile marine repair company close by as well. I have spoken to a 2008/F-350 owner and from what he said, I'll actually burn less gas with that boat versus my 2001 Marlin with OX-66 two...

Okay, I'll soon be in the market for a 330 Express. Initially I thought that a 2005-07 model (F-250s) would be the focus, but when the Admiral told me that her company bonus would be a lot bigger, my mind kicked up with an additional 200 HP! So, if you own or are very knowledgeable about the...

Well, after 18 days of working fine after my cleaning/oiling everything, it's once again dead. I doubt that going through that process will be a long term fix so I'm, planning to buy a new one. Any suggestions on where to get a new macerator for a fair price? Is mine a 10" or 13"? While I'm at...

Looks like my port tach is fading into history....... 2001 250 OX-66 And Recs on a place to order a new one at a good price? Thanks in advance.....

He's going to Bimini, Bahamas around June, 16-17th. Many boats like to connect with others in order to have a buddy boat out in the Gulf Stream....

I do the exact same thing with my Marlin.......

It was 2001 and we ran our 208 Walkaround from Freeport, Bahamas up and around the western edge of Grand Bahama Island to West End, Grand Bahama island.....a nice trip of about 22 miles. After a nice lunch, we began the run back to Freeport, running in about 60 feet of water, right along the...

I'm no "expert" on backing a twin but I quickly learned a way to help me figure out which engine needs to go into what gear. Whatever direction you want the stern to go, select that throttle handle that when moved into Rev (and therefore moved towards the stern) will "point" in the direction...

We had a 1993 208 for 5 years and LOVED it! Same engine too...... You'd be wise to have the boat (based on it being 17 years old) THOROUGHLY gone through by a certified mechanic. He needs to check everything mechanical, electrical, the entire fuel system, the trailer as well as the...

Popped offshore to try to find some springtime Dolphin and to run the boat a bit...... From my local Fishing Forum....... http://forums.floridasportsman.com/forum/south-fishing-reports/tues-412-out-hillsboro

We took the doors off (2001 Marlin), carefully made a template that matched the face of the entire cabinet itself, then had a custom plastic shop cut the new panel from black plastic as you can see above. We cut the holes for the two boxes ourselves, but if you use a stiff/hard plastic be...
