Don, Are you at a fish camp/resort in that pic? I'm dreaming about a trip to Rivers Inlet someday.

Congrats on the new boat, and the cross country trip. Another Grady from the East hits Seattle. Those same speakers came with my boat. They're from west marine if I remember correctly. Was in the same spot too. I replaced them with bigger 6" speaker boxes. I think those were 4". They aren't...

No it won't help you in the fog. Look up what Garmin new Reactor autopiliot can do. It's not a a magic robot that can avoid obstacles. You can still hit things or be hit by things with auto pilot. In fact I'd say it's more dangerous because you don't have to pay attention to drive. My friend...

I've seen a bracket added to a euro transom on a non-grady but the transom wan't raised. Imagine a massive swim platform, that's what the owner wanted for diving. Watch the latest Florida Sportsman Dream Boat episode (youtube) the owners of this marine company are about to do it. They are...

If your boat is hard to steer, you could replace the steering cable for $150ish. They need it every 10 years or so. I could steer my 20' boat with cable steering with one pinky. You didn't say there was a problem. But if autopilot is the goal then ya go hydraulic for sure.

It's a known issue where cosmetic chipping occurs on the hatches. I had it bad. Fixed it over the winter, with gel coat. Can't even tell it was there. Do a search on this forum, you'll find photos of the process.

How many thousands of dollars are you willing to spend on this project? It's not going to be cheap.

Do they have a way to mount it high over the livewell on a Seafarer 228? Find the cutting board is easy but the mounting at 40 " is the tough part it seems with off the shelf parts.

Thanks for posting all the great ideas above. Still trying to figure out how to do this and make it look good. Seems like I have to spend ALOT of money to do it right. Or weld aluminum.... I actually want it at a comfortable working height or it's not worth doing. My dad can weld but trying to...

Looks great. I may have to upgrade to that hatch someday. Just loving my storage too. I keep it full of important stuff that change by what kind of boat trip I'm doing. Thanks for posting.

I would have to disagree. I think you’re taking it personally Dennis. If you look at his question he asked for Seafarer owners with similar motors. You chimed in with a different boat and a two-stroke. if you think a two-stroke has the same torque as a four stroke and other models/brands have...

Harsh? Level of experience? Not sure what you mean there. i’m talking about observations of prop performance. Nothing harsh about it. Just a fact.

Bazzturd, out of all these comments only you and I have the same motor/boat/prop combo and the exact same experience. I woulding put much stock into comments from people with different motors/boats and the same prop. apples to oranges.

I can comment as I've tried your exact same prop with the same boat/motor. (Power Tech OFS4 15.25 x 15 (per prop gods)). I tried it once. Had your exact same experience. The pitch is too low. I took it off immediately. Yes it's better traction but I'd like to try a 16 or 17 p to run it. I was...

Generally I believe it's about $10 a gallon.

Great Post pics once you get it. I've just loved my new storage this season. Don't know how I ever did with out it. My stern anchor BBQ, life raft, buckets etc. Bigger would be even better.

Agreed! I learned the hard way but not the hardest way! People always ask me what to look for in a Grady and I say the scuppers but I mean the hoses.

Stock wire chase

Awesome, I still need to hear JLs in person... might make me spend some $$$.

No photo for me.
