TheChain, Exactly what I am looking to do. What a great look! I may need to get on this project before we get too far into summer. Love the blue LED. Just awesome!

What do you use to seal that outer ring before you screw it down? Can you use a silicone caulking or do you need to use 3M 4200? I love the 4200, but it is so hard for me to work with. I always seem to make a huge mess with that stuff and never seem to get a good bead on it. Thoughts on this??

The red light district. Cool look. :D I am sure it is great on the eyes. I was thinking of installing blue led under the gunwales, purely for the aesthetics. Your Grady is looking good!

Re: What is she worth - Thinking about selling my 225 Tourna I think you are looking at $35,000 on the lower end to $44,000 on the upper end for a 2005. Plenty out there for sale in that range - asking price. I wish I could afford her. Truly an awesome boat. Good luck on the sale!

I would hold out and continue to look for a mid 90s 192 Tournament. The 1994 and later models have the SeaV2 hulls and the euro transom with doors. I almost pulled the trigger on a mid 80s 19 Tournament, but spent an additional month looking and found a 94 model for 2 thousand more than the...

I think what you are going to find is that to be certain you will need to have the boat surveyed. The exception would be if you are willing to take the risk and if you don't spend much on the boat. I purchased a 1994 Grady and took the risk of no survey. I didn't spend that much on the boat...

Worked it out on my own. :D No need to respond to post.

Need some help from folks, please. So I ordered a replacement for my scuppers on my 192 tournament. What was on the transom was a rubber ring, then rubber flapper ring, then the hard plastic outer ring. So, the attwood replacement comes in the mail and it is an exact fit. But here is the...

Check out the 2 newer posts in general discussion. There is a parts catalogue for 2012 models. I wouldn't order without confirming with Grady that it is the same size and will work with your year boat. Grady customer service will help you with that. Another member also posted contact...

Interesting. What a shame. Prompted me to look at Beckson screw down pie plates for my motor splash well last night. I have 2 pop out pie plates that provide access to my aft bilge. Guess I will be replacing those for the more secure screw type. 25 bucks per pie plate. Worth the 50 bucks...

Just to add to this list, I always have a can of acetone on hand. Will take blemishes/stains off of your hull and topside safely. For rust on the fiberglass, I use Barkeepers Fried with very good results (rinse thoroughly). I also keep FSR (fiberglass stain remover) on hand for stains I can't...

There will not be a parts manual for your boat. However, Grady customer service is second to none. If you need something, email them to see if the dealers stock the item. For example, they still had the scuppers for my 1994 Tournament because they still use the same type on the newer hulls...

I am on the east coast, so pardon my ignorance. Never heard of the location. But, it looks pretty darn calm in that photograph. Can it be that rough in the Straights and then really calm where this photo was taken???? The photo just doesn't fit the description that rough seas took a role in...

Thanks again Dennis! You were spot on. Took me 5 minutes to remove. Held in by 6 stainless screws and washers. All in great shape. The box appears to be made of some kind of heavy duty plastic. Looks really tough and durable. Going to drop it off next week to get it recovered. Has the...

Thanks DennisG, you are the man. Always very helpful. Yes, it is the back to back seat that you can lay flat as a sleeper. I wasn't sure if those seats somehow came off to access the mounting hardware. I will partially recline it and get in there as you suggest. Do you see any issues with me...

I am looking to have all my cushions redone before summer. Has anyone removed a sleeper seat from their Grady? I assume you have to somehow remove the upper seats in order to get down into the base to unscrew or unbolt the base. How is this done? I would like to remove it without damaging...

Easy way to find out would be to email Grady White customer service. They are great and always willing to answer questions. You will have the answer the following day. They have even been responsive to me on questions about a 1994 hull that I bought used. Give them a shout.

That is a great choice. You will have a ton of fun bumming around Bald Head and Oak Island. Plenty of ARs to fish within a couple miles off shore. Have a great summer! :D

Looks good. I like what you have done. Price on the new panel from the dealer seems really good as well. Nice clean look!

Heck yeah your arms are going to hurt tomorrow. I compounded my boat with a machine to remove oxidation, then waxed. You talk about pain! Well worth it in my book, though. My 1994 hull looks brand new. You would normally wax twice a season if you are anal. I believe the wax protects from...
