    Grady white boat names

    I agree with all of the above posts. And whatever you name your boat PLEASE do not name it Shady Grady....there are already like 100000 boats with that name. three in my marina alone.

    Evinrude 200 vs 225

    200 sounds a little small for a 24 footer. why not try and find another 225 or even a 250.

    Anyone care to speculate if any new models will be released in '15?? I know the Grady website is showing them now but with boat show season getting here I would be suprised if there were not any new releases in store. My guess wold be a 20 or 23 foot version of the Coastal Explorer. Maybe...

    Hard Top Conversion

    DennnisG01 did you have your hardtop shipped to you or did you pick it up? I'm outside of Philadelphia. I'm thinking it might be better for me to just pick it up . That depends on if I can fit it in a 6 and 3/4 ft pick up bed.

    Cockpit cover for 208 Adventure

    I think Grady calls it a helm cover for the 208. since your boat is brand new it may be a matter of asking the dealer to get you a helm cover. aftermarket canvas shop may be cheaper and have a better color variety. Grady probably only offers navy or ivory. If you have a hardtop on your boat...

    Repower 232 from twins to single

    even selling your twins and buying that single 300 hp plus the bracket change is going to cost you some money. instead of repowering take the money you would have spent and put fuel in the tank and go enjoy your boat. I would love to own a 232.

    Repower 232 from twins to single

    I agree with Dennis if your motors are running good why replace them. especially converting to a single. im pretty sure your drive bracket will need changed out because it will not accept a single engine. so you spending that money too. you will lose the twin engine maneuverability plus the...

    The tail of "2" corroded motors

    and you see so many rigs with 2002-2004 Yamaha 225's for sale. If I looked at a boat powered like that in that era I guess you have to assume that it has this problem. Unless the seller shows you a receipt that it was fixed.
