    Profits on new Gradys

    Hi Tashmoo: Your comment We as a nation have created the China monster and now the monster is consuming us. Don’t blame us. I don’t recall ever being asked to vote for moving our manufacturing plants to other countries. It started a long time ago and has never stopped. It started in the Reagan...

    Grady/Yamaha Winter Promo? anybody know?

    Do you mean a 6 year engine warranty, is it conditional? That would be a very good promo. How about Grady?

    Grady/Yamaha Winter Promo? anybody know?

    I have been in the market for a new boat, actually waiting for the snow to go away before tripping to a dealer. I was interested in finding out about the Winter Sales Event being promoted by Grady and Yamaha. I went to both websites and read that they can’t tell you, you have to ask your...

    INAVx software for IPAD

    Sounds like a multiply use solution. Any idea how much money is involved? When I add up boat, car, plane all with the same basic use I wonder how cost effective the Ipad becomes.

    Great shots, I really liked the sharp image on the deep blue sky. We expect sea hawks within 3 weeks.

    265 repower

    Thanks for the reply, I know that a mandated major overhaul on my Continental IO-550 engine is 1700 to 2000 hours. I was curious if that was a safe number for outboards too. I agree that if you can afford the upgrade it is a good idea, I replaced my boat's original 1990 motor in 2006 along with...

    I am curious about how many hours you have on your original engines. What is life expectancy before SMOH, a major engine overhaul. I have been looking at ads for 2002-2005 GW - 25 to 30 feet, all with original engines. thanks

    I went to the boat show, Holy Cow!

    Re: I went to the boat show, Holy Cow! follow-up Lundinroof How do you find a wife like that? I have a great wife; we have a lot of fun together. We met in grammar school 50+ years ago and it has been a blast ever since. Jeffn What sort of "major upgrades" does your present boat need? Our...

    I went to the boat show, Holy Cow!

    A followup, the salesman called me back, offered an anchor and a 4 lifejacket pack to "sweeten the deal". He said that his dealer can't understand either why the prices of new boats have skyrocketed. I asked about tradeins, he said that buyers of the last 2-3 years are buried in finance deals...

    I went to the boat show, Holy Cow!

    Our boat needs either some major upgrades or we need a new boat so I went to the boatshow with a check in my pocket. The wife said, go buy yourself a new boat, we'll all love whatever you pick. Done deal, off I went. I found a great boat for our needs and I found a very helpful salesman. I asked...

    just paid $6.79 for fuel

    Hi, sounds like you have a great setup and better weather. Florida gas prices always seem lower than up here in the Northeast. Last time I was in St Lucie County Airport gas for the return trip was $1.33 less than I had paid for the trip down.

    What are the Best Websites to Sell a GW?

    I have had good success with powerboat listings.( http://www.powerboatlistings.com/ ). All makes and models. It's free, you just enter a description of your boat, add a lot of pictures and than wait for the calls. I sold 2 boats this year on their site at no cost for the listings. If your boat...

    255 Freedom vs Pursuit DC 265

    Good comments, I may take a look at the pursuit, the pictures look good. I am in the Northeast and I am interested in a GW 275. My local dealer will only give me an "about price", give or take 25k!, until he gets one in stock. According to the dealer there is no actual Grady price list for the...

    2 engines vs 1

    I know that 2 engines cost more initially and more for double service but can 2 use the same fuel as 1?
