Flat ground, 15 mph, sure... 1 wrong move at the ramp and you are gonna get your seats wet. If it was me, I would upgrade to a 2500HD 4x4, or buy a smaller boat.

Setup photos?

Not the blades; he mentioned replacing the "wiper hose fitting that protrudes through the fiberglass". That is what I need.

Where did you get the wiper hose fitting from? I need to replace mine.

I learned to check for this after beating the hell out of my hitch pin trying to get it latched up. I finally jacked it back up and looked up in there and a large, now crushed nest was stopping the coupler from settling all the way down on the ball...

Easier to ask forgiveness than permission sometimes... We busted out & came to Florida for a week.

Very insightful thread. I have been planning to replace my windlass with one that has a free-fall capability. I use 28` of chain, and I am thinking I would power that out, then let it fall... Is there a model that would work for that? Also, the reason I haven't gone to free-fall yet is I...

I need to just hire a consultant to tell me what to buy, lol! My stuff is 16 years old and still works, but would love to upgrade...

Yeah, that I am aware of... I mentioned doing a survey above if I decide to keep it. I am thinking about going down to see it next week & make a decision...

Turns out the motor is an 03 F225, not a 13. Looks like we are going to sell it. Question: Should I leave it in FL where selling season is winding down, but always decent, or bring it up here to VA where selling season is heating up, Grady Whites with hard tops & curtains are more popular? Any...

Thanks. So, Voyager? I think I am going to have a surveyor go look at it. He didn't have one done. Paperwork is MIA, lol!

##Edited## Some eagle eyes can read the decal, it appears to be a 248? I can blow it up enough to read it... My Father-inLaw really liked my Grady, and right before he passed he bought a 97 265, or that is what his text to me said. I haven't made it down to FL to survey the boat yet, and I...

Ok, I tried to watch it... Can't do it...

Marinas know... When I call ahead for a slip, they ask for the model. "GW 282? So you're an outboard? You'll need a 35' slip." At my home stack house I pay for 30' because they don't count the pulpit.

What is the best buffer pads to order for use with the Collinite 920 & 925 plan? This is what I am up against, also a 2004 hull:

I ordered from SIM on Monday, got shipping notification Friday, arrived today, too late to get started...

I finally got around to tackling mine. Hardest part was removing the seals from the caps. Pretty sure they were the factory originals! One side was low on fluid and it was completely contaminated, would not trim up without help. The other side took forever to bleed. I used a piece of PVC...

How does that happen? Roller trailer & no straps?

Speaking of reversing, now that OP is in the slip, gonna put the pulpit back on?
