    So which is it Grady?

    I was putting up a few old license plates in our tiki hut and have these Grady White plates. I noticed a discrepancy between two of them….

    GW rounded keel

    One thing I’ve noticed on my boat that WOT it feels a bit “squirrelly“ for lack of a better term. I think it’s due to the hull not tracking as straight as hulls that carry the deadrise to the transom when you’re only riding on the last few feet of the hull. I didn’t experience that on the 228...

    New Freedom 215

    If you have the digital steering, you may have digital controls, too. The “cruise control” is a rocker style switch below the trim/tilt switch on the shift/throttle lever. It raises or lowers your engine rpm by 50 rpm increments. At first I didn’t think much of it, but I find it useful in no...

    New Freedom 215

    Not sure who Peter is.. :cool: We’re in Charleston, SC, so the harbor which is shallow and gets rough easy, endless rivers, the intracoastal up to Georgetown and down to Beaufort for overnight excursions. My third Grady. In 94 I ordered a 228 and bought a 2014 225 Freedom used. Owned a number...

    New Freedom 215

    I ordered a 215 last year with dual deluxe II helm chairs instead of the port side lounger, F250 with DES. It suits our needs (day cruising with another couple or two). The rear seating layout is more comfortable than the folding benches and the cushion flip makes it versatile for boarding. The...

    Jim Cantore is here in Charleston…. noon news has the area I live in with over 11” of rain so far and this thing isn’t going anywhere for a few more days. Luckily, not too much wind although we had a pretty good blow last night and a few tornadoes south and north of here. Also, not much surge...

    New Switch Panel 228 Seafarer

    I had an entire dash panel made by New Wire. This is a Freedom 225. The switches were originally in two rows on top of each other. I didn’t have to change the factory wiring for the new locations for the switches. I did have to relocate the module for the trim tabs so cabling could reach it’s...

    What trailer should I buy?

    Need the weight. Quick search showed hull @ 5,300 lbs + motors + fuel + gear + accessories + trailer itself. My guess is you’re approaching 10,000 lbs., triple axle territory. For long term storage, bunks, assuming saltwater use, aluminum.

    SeaStar Steering Problem

    I had a Sea Hunt that had a similar trait. Once you hit 4000 rpm it was difficult to steer to port and easy to starboard. Thats the nature of prop torque steer. There are solutions. Sea Star makes a booster pump. When I priced for that boat it was ~$3000 installed. I passed. There are also...
