    1987 Grady White 204C rotten stringers and transom.

    Agree, you can bring them up and glass over existing and new. I used Total Boat products when I recored/glassed the backside of a hatch cover. Cheaper than West System.

    Electric Passenger Lounge Seat - Freedom 307

    I'd contact GW and see what they say. Motors and boats = problems unfortunately.

    Grady White 330 express- metal transom bracket rot

    Looks like some transom damage from the pics albeit tough to tell. Get a glass guy to look at it. Core could be wet, could be delaminated could be a minor or major repair.

    Downrigger Mounting on 97 232 Gulfstream

    I'd go with the swivel bases and a plate with sufficiently long screws to address the unevenness of the backside. Once you lock it down, it isn't going anywhere.

    The search for my next boat.

    Nice write up. Looks like it fits your needs. I kinda like the offset helm.

    I'm sure you will find it here.

    What is this thing I found on my boat?

    Good call on that. Could be installed, just make sure the location makes sense and you can get what you put in it when you need it.

    Fridge upgrade 330 Express

    I get it. Keep looking and get a short list of candidates. I've touched up the paint on mine a couple of times where I got some small rust spots. With age, all will have their issues. Good luck.

    Non Grady member, guilt?

    Your the man! Can't go anywhere. Even if your posts are not as frequent, your wisdom is always welcome. Now tell us what you got now!!!

    Fridge upgrade 330 Express

    I'm a KISS guy for a boat unless you just have the jing to throw around. For the aft refrigerator in the fish box, I'd skip it. Just another mechanical system that is going to be a PIA every 5 years or so. You'll have to spend years of money for ice to even come close to the cost of that...

    Fridge upgrade 330 Express

    I'd get your hole dimensions and match them to the documentation for the fridges you are interested in. GW are standard size openings. All documentation should be on the web. Once you dial in on a potential candidate, do a search of the mfg website or just a manual search.

    Cleaning white motor

    I want to see how the white engines perform over time. Will be something I keep an eye on in my marina.

    Repowering a 2004 273 Chase

    I'd probably go twin F250s given the 500HP max rating on the hull. I think these are the best 250HP motors out there. Zukes 2nd if you have good local service.

    Chair or bean bag for the bow?

    You really shouldn't have people up front when driving anyway. Visibility and safety are #1.

    Gunnel Modification

    Valid point on the mounts. Those Burnewiins look to be a good fit - if they fit!

    Looked at a 33 express, many issues.

    I agree with this. If it sells for $60K there is a reason. Looks like the owner didn't do a great job maintaining or protecting the boat. If a dealer is selling it, shame on him for leaving it on his lot without ensuring it was protected as well. I'd be looking elsewhere.

    Chair or bean bag for the bow?

    Now that I think about this, I may have to make one up myself.....
