    Freedom 235

    I would definitely expect a walkaround based on this new hull soon. I expected one when the 230 Fisherman came out. Sadly this might be the writing on the wall signaling the end of the Seafarer AND Gulfstream.

    Towing a 24' walk around?

    I think you will be fine with the truck you have just heed the above warnings. I would never go to the limit on a trucks tow rating though leave a 1500 pound cushion. just my opinion. If your towing any distance give yourself a break and try to tow with the fuel tank (in the boat!!) as close...

    good or bad ficht evinrude motor

    Ive never heard anything good about a FICHT motor. I had one experience with one on a friends boat. We had to drop anchor on the Maurice River to keep from drifting into the NJ State Police dock. Electronic issues. After a mosquito rich rest on the hook we were able to fire the motor and...

    Show pricing

    I was at the Atlantic City show today and it seemed a few of the MSRPs were inflated. Not just at the Grady exhibit either. I thought 70k for a 209 Fisherman was a bit steep. But the Marlin was as I recall priced at 299 which sounded low? go figure. I don't care who makes them new boats are...

    Boat Junkyards?

    What single cushion for a 1996 Grady White 208 are you looking for? I also have a 96 208 and do not use the cushion set it is in my garage and I would be willing to sell them. I habe both stern seat covers both fishbox seat covers and all three pieces that go on the cabin in the bow. I have...

    226 Discontinued??

    Looks like not only the 226 was discontinued. I don't see the 283 Canyon, the 305 Express, or the 290 Chesapeake either. Their probably just wasn't enough demand for these models.

    Old mercury black max issues

    my guess is ethanol ate up your fuel lines and somethings clogged. going through the same thing right now with a 2009 Lowe FM 165 powered by a 50 hp Merc 4 stroke I just bought. Boat has been sitting for 6 years. The line from the boat to the motor was destroyed.

    Folding motor dam removal question

    Definitely to keep gear and people in the boat. I have the same set up on my Adventure 20 and would love to see a small fishbox back there like on a Freedom/Tournament instead of that door.

    thoughts on trading a 180 sportsman for adventure

    I agree with Parthery 100 percent. A straight up trade is in the other guys favor. Your boat is seven seasons newer. The Adventure is a great boat though. A 1994 is 21 years old check her out thoroughly. If she checks out you will be pleased.

    Gas prices

    I live in Pennsylvania. We have one of the highest state taxes on fuel in the nation. that coupled with registration fees and every other fee that Penndot throws our way all in the name of "transportation funding". I hope I live long enough to see the bomb drop when they investigate where...
