    New Batteries

    I had something similar, albeit on a smaller Grady White 228 Seafarer last year when I went to start up the boat in the early summer after having replaced both batteries the previous fall. Something happened to where I pushed the trim/tilt button on the motor, it went all the way up and then put...

    8 original hours on 2008 GW and Yamaha 200 questions

    Well... I found the boat that you're looking at and imo the price isn't even in the ballpark for what you're getting. Even with the boat only having 8 hours on the motor. I think I'd personally spend half the money, get a boat with a few more hours on it, as well as a bit more usage out of it...

    8 original hours on 2008 GW and Yamaha 200 questions

    I guess I'm confused... so you sold your 2006 GW 228 Seafarer last summer to then buy a 2008? Or is this a different model of Grady? Also, you didn't mention your experience in terms of if you have any mechanical knowledge with working on boats, cars or whatnot. Whether you do or not, there's...

    300 with 2 mfd

    Listen to Harrysea and athomp228, they actually know what they're talking about. Even if you dropped the screens down as far as you could, you won't have enough room to fit two 16” screens in there.

    300 with 2 mfd

    The below linked boat is for sale on Boat Trader, of which it has twin Garmin 1243xsv's on it that are each 12.1" wide and total 24.2" wide without any spacing between the two units. The Garmin 8616xsv on the other hand is 15.1" wide and to where two of them without any gaps would be 30.2"...

    360 Grady Express Powered with twin 350's

    A bit more information is needed here as your post is kind of vague, but I'm guessing what you're really wanting to know is in regards to the top end speed and whether twin F350's will be underpowered or not? The second thing, and maybe this is an assumption on my part, but I'm assuming that...

    Hard Top Wanted

    Yikes, sounds as though someone has a case of the Monday's and/or is a Chiefs fan. The fact of the matter remains that if someone wants the original style of hardtop for their boat and their current boat doesn't have one, buying another boat with one, robbing the hardtop off of it and then...

    Hard Top Wanted

    Ask Norcoastal about his experience looking for a hardtop. I believe he was looking for one for over a year before he got tired and just ordered something local or online. A few things would help out tremendously here, like your location, your budget and so forth. I think your quickest and...

    Transom thru hole

    I'd replace the ones that you currently have with the style that Diad linked. They have the set screw holding the rubber flapper in place and are a bit easier to replace just the flapper as opposed to having to pull the entire thing off just to replace them.

    Pulling the trigger on a pilot house on the 228

    Oh I'm sure lol... I imagine any "custom" fiberglass work or project that they, or any other local shop builds, is going to be insanely priced, especially in the Seattle area and have to assume it'll likely cost at least $15k+, if not more to do something similar. You might be able to find a...

    2008 305 Express for sale

    Condolences to you and your family over your loss. It's not in NC, but the Grady White dealership I bought my boat from is called Tri State Marine in Deale, Maryland. Of which they're a Grady White affiliated dealership, they do consignments and I had a good experience purchasing from them, as...

    Pulling the trigger on a pilot house on the 228

    No personal experience, though a quick Google search shows a Northwest Marine Fiberglass in Seattle, as well as a Pacific Fiberglass. The former appears to do custom hardtops and pilothouses and has good reviews on Google/Yelp. https://northwestmarinefiberglass.com/

    600HP Sailfish #’s

    The above is simply incorrect about a 282 Sailfish not ever being outfitted with 300's, considering that in 2004 on up until 2008 when they stopped making the 282 Sailfish, they all had a maximum of 600 hp, per the brochure. I know there is at least one forum member on here that has a 282...

    2000 bimini 306

    No reason why you can't look online to get a ballpark figure or an idea as to what will fit. Here's a picture of a 2001 Grady White 306 Bimini that's currently for sale on Boat Trader and it has two Garmin 10" screens. The first unit on the left looks like it's a Garmin EchoMap Ultra 2 10"...

    Switches for dome light, spreader lights

    Another option, though considerably more money, would be this 3 wire on/off switch from Taylor Marine, which appears to actually be the stock OEM switch for the spreader lights. Food for thought... https://www.ebay.com/itm/305367341625

    GW

    Pretty sure that the first posting and the last posting are of the same hardtop. They look identical, are in the same location and have almost an identical description in both ads.

    My search for OEM replacement parts for 2017 375 Freedom - Add to the list

    It's kind of random, and I'm not sure where they got them from or why they only have 3 of them, but RNR Marine has 3 parts manuals for different years of Grady Whites... but they only have 2004, 2007 and 2013. They might be helpful for some crossover parts from model to model, or seeing which...
