Check all your deck plates and or reseal if you haven't done it already. These often leak and are usually not sealed very well at the factory. A big concern would be your scupper hoses especially if they are original. How much water are we talking here.

A local upholstery should be able to do it. I had one made years ago when I replaced all the blue canvas with white.

Years ago I made a "y" hose with valves and quick connects to flush my twin engines. My marina has amazing water pressure giving me good water flow to both engines. However i have gotten away from using it as its a PITA to store on the boat. Grady's do not have a lot of storage space . My...

There are pros and cons to the center helm. It was a selling point for me with the express. When I'm working on the boat i just remove the chair for more maneuverability. I have a table for the helm area which i keep on when we are fishing locally as it gives a sort of center island. The...

Fuel economy numbers look better then i would expect. Are you running 300's or 350's? as far as the stern fish box goes. I have thought about a making a divider to better organize it. For now a couple of 5 gallon buckets and a large plastic bin have worked for me so far.

The boat is 30 years old. Probably a good idea to replace everything electrical as you will be chasing electrical gremlins from the start. Especially if the boat has been kept in saltwater. If not then it may be good idea to run new main wires to a new fuse block or bus and hook up your new...

Good choice with the repower and the tanks. The 265 is a good choice of a boat to do a full refresh on. Not many new boats in that class can compete with the layout and design for a fishing boat.

Back when I had my 265. I replaced the wiper motor and arms. Grady white customer support provided the model numbers. I looked through old emails but couldn't find it. Unfortunately the file folder I had with all that information got sold with the boat. Try calling grady, they are...

Glad to see Grady start adding more storage spaces/areas. Both of my expresses have had a lot of dead space area which could have been additional storage. One knock I have had on grady for years was lack of sufficient storage on their larger boats. I have to assume the generator is in the aft...

Cost will depend on the material and your location. The estimate seems in the ballpark. I would get a couple of other quotes from local shops.

For my 305 I have an off the shelf cover from PM winter boat covers. The cover is made by carver. Its not a perfect fit but does the job. Its currently on the boat for its 9th New England winter. Its not a perfect fit as there are small exposed area above the gunnel on both sides about mid...

A lot depends on what years of boats your looking at. Both models have had long runs with many changes during those production runs. Earlier model 330's did have moisture problems on the sides and earlier models of both had wooden transoms which could be a problem. I currently have a 305 but...

Does it have to be 12v? I assume your 330 has both shore power and a generator.

I'm very happy with my Garmin reactor and smart pump. Best AP I have ever owned.

Similar experience with every pump out place I have gone too.

Not very familiar with your boat. But from the pictures it looks like your going to have to figure out drainage for what ever rod holder or fitting you choose. If you have cup holders up there you may be able to tap into those drainage lines.

Also if you don't have a towing bridle, you should get one.

Assuming you mean the engine on the dingy. For short distances of a couple miles in protected waters I have done both. I usually tilt it up though. For longer distances I just take the engine off and stow it in the cockpit. This would also depend on how big the engine is too. I have a...

Rod holder ones never fit perfectly. If you want a solid mounted cutting board then you will have to find a different way to mount it. Magma makes legs and receptacle to mount the boards. This is what I did on my old 265. Now I have a large cutting board mounted on my fish box lid. It is...
