    Can a Grady White sink?

    By my post I was just trying to answer the question about basic and level floatation. As far as I can tell, no one implied that they were going to rely on the boat saving their lives if it sank. I sure did not and am always prepared. I always ask people when they complain about how much...

    Surveyor in Ft Pierce-Vero Beach area

    Capt. Armchair, I don't know a surveyor in the Vero-Ft. Pierce area but I would call Vero Marine Center to see if they would recommend one. I bought my boat new from this GW dealer and they are a very reputable dealer. Ask for Mark in sales and maybe he can help. You can email at...

    360 w/ 350's

    Gee Kev.. seems no one is running the 360 with twin 350's yet. I saw one at my local dealer in Vero Beach but do not have any real world experience with them. I was told by the salesman at VMC that they perform about a knot slower than the trip 250 setup :roll: . I have the trip 250...

    Tampa vs Miami / Ft Lauderdale?

    Sel.. If you have the choice to where you will move, why Tampa or Miami/FT. Lauderdale? I have lived in FL all my life and these are two placed that would not be high on my list. I would look in the Stuart area or just south of there. Easy access to ocean, short distance to Gulf Stream...
