I think it’s worth investing in a small 6 gal fuel tank to run engines on fresh gas while working on the old fuel tank. When I was trying to get rid of old gas, my marina wouldn’t take it, even though they dispose of oil, because gas is more combustible. The harbor master said to put the old gas...

I think the issue you may run into is that it’s unlikely to sell anywhere except CA. Shipping would be a challenge otherwise. And so, a limited market of potential buyers. May be a needle in a haystack to find the right buyer. Maybe a trade might be an option.

Personally I would try to find a different swivel to limit the chances. Then use a shackle with monel seizing wire like family affairs picture there is this one from WM.. i think on my rig is a swivel with no bolt… will check if i can find… tbh i think most anchor setups I’ve used didn’t...

They’re going after the Miami $$$$$$$. I don’t really see them selling volume elsewhere in the US

Funny contact email, lol Maybe call rather than email lol

My recommendation is to go to various marinas and dealers, chat with people, listen to local advice and see if you can take a look at some local Gradys in various models. What style of boats are most common where you are? Basically they have the bow riders, center consoles, and walk around...
