Bill: Sent you a PM. Rob

Bill: I'm sure the props are worth what you're asking for them. But I'm afraid that shipping will push them above what they would be worth to be. I already have a spare pair, but these appear to be in nicer shape. Would you consider $400 for the pair? And, of course, I pay shipping, which I'm...

I noticed that the creeping corrosion of the aluminum transom bang cap cap on my 2007 Sailfish seemed to have accelerated over the past year. I had this same piece replaced with Grady's polyelythlene replacement on my 2005 Journey and I liked the look. In this case, the work needed to be done...

Another Toy: Why did the drain tubes fail? If it is simple corrosion or the sealant giving out, then my post is irrelevant. On a previous Grady, both of my drain tubes cracked down the middle. My dealer said it was obvious that the factory installer used too much muscle on the flanging (?)...

Chadwick: I should have thought to ask; What size boat are you shipping? I know Tony can carry 33' Grady's and probably even 37'. But I don't know that he can go any bigger than that. But best to hear it from him, of course. Rob

I have used Tony Stewart (561.253.4007) every year for the past 12 years. He carries my boat for me to do a section of the Great Loop. He drops me off and then we agree that he'll pick me up at a predetermined marina/boat ramp at a set date. Tony is a one man operation. He has always taken care...

Pretty sure it had a Yamaha F250. Certainly nothing less than that. I'll be going back there, hopefully soon, to pick up my boat. I'll try to get a pic of the price tag. Like I said, my Grady dealer sells to the Palm Beachers and I believe their prices are typically higher than other dealers...

My local dealer has one with a $139,000 price tag on it. Seems pretty well optioned with the hardtop, plumbed port-potti and livewell. I recall seeing the tracks and snaps for curtains, but didn't see the curtains on the boat. Is possible that it is a leftover model already? I didn't look at...

Maybe you could fit some tubing into those drain holes and route that tubing into the bilge, even if it meant boring some holes in the storage compartment? Hopefully the tubing could be made to hug the sides of the storage box so it wouldn't be in the way and wouldn't get crushed. A drawback...

Until I make the next addition to the dash: The phone has the fuzzy side of Velcro on the back of it's case and a space on the dash has the more bristle side. And I swapped out the cigarette lighter receptacle for a USB port. Phone acts as my weather radar when I'm running before sunrise so its...

Thanks, Mustang. You have breathed new life into what I thought was a non-starter idea. I typically run about about 10-12 miles from the inlet to then set up live bait drifts. So I don't go far. And I've become a calm water boater. We do like to trailer the boat to do portions of the Great...

Dennis: Yes. I was thinking maybe that same paint I used on my awful helm chair arms. It covered well, has held up well and matched the Grady color well. Of course I'd have to paint that entire bulkhead piece for a decent look. Tx, Rob

I had this thought that I knew was highly unlikely. But perhaps someone had a positive experience with repowering a Sailfish with the newer 4 cyl. 200 hp four strokes. I was hoping against hope. I'm looking at repowering not too far down the road and it would be nice to get all these new...

The boat stays in an outdoor covered rack. However, I don't know how well it was treated for the first twelve years of its life. I'm told it was kept outside, but with a helm cover over it. I know that it saw little use. I need to remove the horizontal trim that runs along the outside base of...

Thanks very much for the helpful responses. I have the plastic tools to remove trim rings from electronics. I'll try that first and try not to break anything. I'm gonna be especially embarrassed when i find those screws in the radio box, because that's the second place I looked! I'll bring a...

Thanks, Dennis. Since my idea was to cut it out, I'm not risking much by giving it a try. I'll be most impressed if it can firm up the soft spot. It is soft enough that I could push a finger through it, I do believe. Tx, Rob

There is a brown-colored soft spot in the forward cabin bulkhead. It is getting softer. I'm guessing I wash the boat too much ;). But I don't think its going away if I stop washing the boat. So before I take steps that may not be the best solution, I'm asking here because I know there are...

I'm sure there is a very simple way to remove what appears to be the original dual-switch helm dome light. There are no apparent screws. So I presume the light cover rotates counter-clockwise to remove. I tried, but was afraid of breaking it in case it isn't meant to move that way. Maybe it just...

Really nice work. Admire your gumption! And keep the pics coming. Tx, Rob

r16409: First, welcome to the forum. I hope you find it helpful. I am curious. What kind of speed/rpm numbers do you see with the 4-stroke 150's? And are they Yamahas? Tx, Rob
