    General question on buying a Grady, i am looking on Long Island NY

    I'd say pre 2004 are at highest risk. 2016 and up the lowest. In the middle, gotta pay attention to coring in bigger beams, wood on decks and hatches, transom and stringers.

    2009 Chesapeake

    First check if salt or freshwater and see how the water is getting in. I'd consider putting in drain holes in the specific area. Will need to glass and I'd gel coat as an added measure. Best to do on the hard when dry.

    Grady White 336 Canyon with Seakeeper 3 - Bottom Paint Line

    Yea, pics of the exact boat are best. I paint just below the scupper drains a tag high but addresses any scum line and brown streaks.

    Agree. The web is quickly becoming the dark scamming web.

    See if there is a manufacturer's tag on the unit. If so can get the manual off the net.

    Check out the Shurflo Baitwell pump. I believe this is what GW uses.

    Trim tabs getting damaged when forklift lifts boat

    I noticed on some hulls there is not a recessed area for the tabs and others where the tabs extend out beyond the transom. Both conditions are not optimal in my book and I wonder why GW does it this way. First thing I'd do is talk to the yard that is moving the boat around. Maybe contact...

    '95 268 Islander Transom

    Has a marine plywood core and stringers. Greenwood not used until later in GW boats. That is a big job for sure.

    1995 Sailfish 272 Repower. Suzuki 200 or 225??

    More than I would thought it would be. I like the weight reduction for sure. How do you use the boat? If you ok with the lower performance and better price point, the weight reduction is the way to go. In my case, I'd go for the 200s. but you may want the extra ponies.
