Easy there, the internet is supposed to make our lives easier.....

Obviously. Figured someone here already went through this and knew a direct replacement.

Anyone know a direct replacement for these? All mine are cracked. Do the stainless ones drop in fit?

Lol. I’m sure. My local Parker dealer was at $35 a quart a few years ago.

Very familiar with tinting gelcoat. I never works. I have found over the years that factory gelcoat, even if faded works the best. It will fade to match. Spectrum has not worked well for me with whaler and Parker and Tiara. Do dealerships normally stock Grady gelcoat? When I had a Parker...

What is the best way to get factory Grady gelcoat ? My boat is 1999 vintage. Thanks.

Yes. Very familiar with the OX66

Did a compression test, everything was in spec. This is an 8'6" beam, are those known to have delamination?

Just put a deposit on this girl. Owned many boats in the past, this is my first Grady. Always wanted one. Here are some pics.

Put a down payment on this girl. Hopefully picking up early next week.

I would love to go to one of these.

Thanks. As far as I know this has the early running surface. I will never put twins on it, looks like it floats well. May repower with a 300. Probably ETec but that’s down the road. Pic is of the boat. Can you tell what transom?

Going to look at my first Grady 268 Islander this week, any pointers on what to look for specific to Gradys and this model would be appreciated. It’s a 1999 with single 250 OX66. Boat is in the water. I will moisture test what I can with the Tramex Skipper plus and will do compression test on...

Whats wrong with it?

Thanks. Going to look at my first Grady this week sometime, any pointers on what else to look for specific to Gradys would be appreciated.

Thanks Ocnslr. Looks like I should just Pm you with all my questions. Lol. I figured this being a Grady forum more people would know about the line.

Looking to buy a 268 Islander and have found a few to look at, one I will see next week sometime. This Particular one is a 1999 and in my research I found Grady switched to Evergreen? (rot resistant plywood) for their transoms around 2000. Can someone familiar with the line explain that to me...

Sounds like it’s mounted too low. Probably lugging the motor that is why the power heads don’t last. Or injesting water somehow.

Where is the anti vent place in relation to the hull bottom? General rule of thumb is one 1” up for every foot of setback. Get out a long straight edge and a ruler and measure it up. I vote ETec for repower.

One word. ICOM. That is the only VHF you need. Recently installed the ICOM M506 with AIS to my Simrad evo 3 and works flawless. Also have other ICOM radios on other boats. They make a great product.
