    Hey, just sent you a message on the Hull Truth forum. I'd recommend giving Dan Diebes a call at the Pensacola MarineMax. My discount was $25K off MSRP. Plus I negotiated painting the engine free (about $5K option) and they put in underwater lights (the wife really wanted those). Tell Dan...

    New Yamaha color ?

    Whatever boat color you choose, get the Grady cream color engine. Really adds a smooth custom look to the whole boat. The pearl white would really stick out against the cream.

    2022 Freedom 235 electrical issues

    Not much to add other than I killed my battery #1 a couple months ago by accidentally leaving it "on" for several days. Switched over to #2 and ran the boat for a couple of days and it eventually charged #1 back up to normal. I guess my only contribution is that the batteries should be...

    New Yeti cooler pad with GW logo

    Got a new Yeti Tundra Haul and had the local SeaDek company make a GW pad for the top. Came out pretty nice. Contact Castaway Customs if you are in the Gulf Coast area. They also did a custom helm pad for the boat.

    flushing

    I think I'll give that a try. My little plastic adaptor that snaps in to the flush port under the gunwale seems to get a little more difficult to pop in every time I use it.

    Anchor chain length?

    Anyone know how much anchor chain Grady's come with in their 23-27' boat lengths? I thought I read somewhere that the 235 comes with 50' of chain. The rule of thumb is generally 1 ft of chain for every ft of boat length. I was talking to someone with an older 235 recently who is having...

    New Grady

    SWEET! You are going to love it! One of my favorite things about mine are the swim platforms. Only a few Gradys have them. Man, they are convenient. If this is your first Grady you are going to be amazed at how smooth the ride is. The SeaV2 hull is for real. Congratulations!

    New Yamaha color ?

    I like it! The dealership painted mine the Grady cream color as part of the sales deal. Looks amazing!

    Cooler drain plugs...

    I'll check that out. The ones that came with the boat are just round chunks of solid rubber. They fall out too easily and let all the water out.

    Custom Captain T's

    It's a very easy process. You just send in your picture, they come up with an initial design. then you go back and forth on changes. I think mine took about 5-6 revisions to add the Marine flag on the back, make the GW logo on the side bigger, put on the actual registration numbers, make the...

    Cooler drain plugs...

    That's exactly what I was thinking about. Something that either twists or flips down and expands. I'll check West Marine

    Cooler drain plugs...

    Are there any aftermarket drain plugs for the built in coolers? Took the boat out on a 4-day adventure, filled both coolers with ice and was disappointed to see on day two that the drain plugs had come lose and drained all the water out, which made all the ice melt very quickly. I pushed those...

    Freedom 235 Gunwale Cracks

    When mine was cracked, one of my friends who works in manufacturing said it looks like the T-Top was tightened down too much. The dealership agreed that was likely the cause. They repaired it and it hasn't come back. Don't know if that is actually what happened, but it kind of makes sense...

    Freedom 235 Gunwale Cracks

    Yep. I had that on my brand new 235. The dealership took care of it. Don't know what caused it.

    Freedom 235 proper trim

    Thanks for the clarification. I just know it sounds different when it happens. That's my queue to bring the engine down a few clicks. Happens a lot when making a hard turn at speed. Here's a good video I just found.
