My wife and I are on Grady #3 going back 13 years and about two dozens trips to the Bahamas, etc. She's worked at the VP level in manufacturing and knows about fit & finish, quality, etc. We love Boat Shows (lucky to have the Miami/Lauderdale/Palm Beach right here) and we have crawled all over...

2001 Marlin and the freshwater pump will come on when I flick the switch over to pressurize the system and then every few minutes it will come back on again. This probably means a leak somewhere. The pump itself is mounted behind a wall in the mid berth and opposite to that wall is a Y-Valve...

Haven't read this thread in awhile! It's ironic for me in that we just came home today from a long weekend in Bimini where we stayed, showered, slept aboard for two nights in our 2001 Marlin! Last year we did an 18 consecutive night trip in the Abacos area of the Bahamas and that was a REAL...

Call your state DMV office....... Hope that you have a SERIOUS tow vehicle!

If you have a specific model and year-range in mind, keep your eyes peeled every month of the year! I've bought three used Gradys in the months of December, March and May.

My 2001 Marlin (250 OX-66s) does not track well in following seas of 3-4 feet. I try to use the A/P but when I see heading changes of +/- 20 degrees or more, I take over and hand steer where I can usually hold it to about 10-15 degrees +/-.

I had always heard that the Marlin was their best seller. I had a 252 Sailfish which was really a 27, then they made it a 282 and now a 290........right on top of the 300 Marlin and the 305...Say what? :shock: I'd LOVE it if they split the difference of the 330 and the 360 and make a...

Yep, the pickup is near the bottom but I meant that I try to not run out of either tank when it gets down to just one bar, or 1/8 of a tank. As far as what tanks to burn from, I usually will burn out of the fuller tank. There has been some discussion here about the fwd/aft tank and weight...

My 2001 Marlin still has the fixed bench seat in the back. I had this bait board custom cut from 1/4" Starboard so that it's thin enough to still fit under the cushion when it's snapped into place....... I cut the 1" hole in the corner as a thumb hole for holding on to it when cleaning it over...

Go to Lowe's/Home Depot and ask for a Kryptonite cable and get a good/big ock for it. Then lock your boat to the dock and make sure the cable, etc is very visible. The bad guys want an easy boat and then usually cut the dock lines and then "swim" the boat out to an awaiting tow boat..... If they...

Ran over from Ft Lauderdale to Grand Cay, Abaco, Bahamas which is up near Walker's Cay at the very top of the Bahamas. It was a 2-couples trip with some fishing thrown in aboard our 2001 Marlin, the HEY MON!. It was a 2.5 hour run to West End, Grand Bahama Island to clear Customs, have lunch...

Nice boats! Sure wish that I could find someone in S/Florida that knew how to make a boat look like new! :cry:

You hold 306 total gallons. The Main tank is 156 and the Aux is 150. On your filler caps, the fwd one is the Main. Your Grady dealer may have new decals for them. Think of the Fwd/Main being the leader/bigger and that should help you remember. Back in your bilge area under your aft seat...

I'm pretty sure that discharge water is from his Air Conditioning! Nice covers! I have a small one for the helm, throttles and instruments......

Mine does the same thing............. That's why it's important to occasionally check your bilge pump and float...... I'd guess that some of the water gets in through the anchor locker. That drains into the bilge if I'm not mistaken....... Occasionally, get a few adults up near the bow and...

We moved to a 2001 30 Marlin from a 1994 252 Sailfish and LOVE it! We spent 18 nights sleeping aboard in the Bahamas last summer and were sorry that it was time to go home!

On my 1994 Sailfish, I took off the left arm rest to make more room.....

Thanks guys...... It has the factory wire antenna that plugs right into the back of the stereo units that I have and the FM is acceptable, but it's always been the AM that's basically unusable.... I'll look into the 4 foot antenna but it may be crowded on the hardtop with the VHF, GPS and...

2001 Marlin, factory stereo install, factory antenna, etc...... I'm now on my third stereo and not one was able to recieve more than some scratchy audio on just a few stations locally. I added an AM/FM booster ($65) to my VHF antenna and all that did was cause problems with my VHF! Any...

2001 Marlin. We flushmounted a single NavNet alongside the original Furuno 582L FF. We took the doors off and had to cut a little bit of the box to open it up a bit. A problem popped up with where the side window frame support mounts to the E/box. The 1/4" thick plastic that we mounted the units...
