    Couple of motor bracket questions

    How'd the water get into your bracket? Seal at transom or the lid is more likely the issue than the plug. Consider filling bracket with fresh water to test the plug and boat side seal. Like should be rebedded anyway. If the same guy who put your transducer on sealed anything else check it...

    Speaker options

    Doubt you'll be able to hear the music while running. If that's important to you, consider mounting them from hardtop. But at anchor I bet you can hear them just fine.

    Help Identifying Proper Grady White Blue Color

    Hi guys, I searched for this and found nothing but I bet someone knows. I'm getting some boat names printed and want to match the same color of the Grady blue stripes and logo. Struck out the first time ordering their darkest blue. They say I can customize if I know the color code Grady uses...

    Cut, buff, wax.

    Yeah amazing new products and learning out there. It was interesting to hear about how short the life of carnuba wax is. Obviously things last longer up north with less sun exposure than compared to Florida so a year up north is probably a month in Florida!

    Cut, buff, wax.

    Guy, wax is really old school, doesn’t last very long in the sun. Deatailers use sealers no they will keep it cleaner and protected much longer like up to a year. According to drakes detailing this is one of the best. https://amzn.to/39X7PRN The next step up is ceramic coating which is very...

    Bait Rigging Table

    Dang SeanC, they aren't giving those boats away in Austrialia. I have a friend that makes lots of cash importing land crusisers from your land. How about you send me LC's and I'll send you GW's in containers? haha SeanC, would you consider changing the name of this thread to "fillet table" or...

    2002 248 Voyager

    I like your storage idea. Tons of room. I recently cut a hole for a hatch. Both have their pros and cons.

    Looking for speakers

    yup that seems to be the new style for sure. No deck just a bluetooth connection then the amp provides the power. Decks never had as much power as they claim anyway. Have you see the latest waterproof bluetooth controllers? They are the size of a Grady Rocker switch and will fit in there. When...

    The big question is, do I drill 2 big 2" holes for 0 degree rod holders to mount the new table??? Option 1. Mount table legs in 2 0 degree rod holders in back of transom Pros -table would be removable -2 more rod holders when removed Cons -2 big holes to drill -Maybe not stable - more stuff...

    Bait Rigging Table

    Miller Marine has brackets that you could lower it up/down with their dog bones. Not cheap but reasonable for the quality. https://www.millermarineproducts.com/strong-arm-rod-holder-mounting-systems/strong-arm-rod-table-mount-in-line-kit/

    Bait Rigging Table

    SeanC Thanks for posting those pics. I saw this same table in this video but couldn't find good photos. Did you see this badass video of the same boat in Australia?

    Looking for speakers

    Boat speakers sound best when they are aimed at the occupants, which is hard to do in an open boat. For the use you have above I use Marine box speakers hung from my hardtop. They aim backwards and sound great in the cockpit. The major benefit is you don't have to make 2 giant 5" holes in your...

    Bait Rigging Table

    I also am very interested in building a dedicated bait/work station with a drawer. I like the one above but it doesn't look like it's positioned right for ergonotics. Has 4 legs but you'd still have to reach out pretty far over the existing rod holders to use it. The australian one seems to have...

    Transom bang cap: replace with ss, vinyl or glass it over?

    Grady is definite not the only boat maker that has issue with the cap joint. Most use similar construction techniques. I've replace 6 or so outboards on all different boats and the cap has been an issue on most. Many times the old outboard was pinching the cap and whomever installed it didn't...

    Worth keeping? 83 255 sailfish

    This guy on youtube got a similar boat in similar shape with rotten transom. Follow his series as he replaces the transome and tanks/stringers. You can get a preivew of what it takes to do series transom work. Hard worth but doesnt' have to be expensive if it's only transom.

    Random Aux Power Cord???

    Boats are full of old crappy Previous owner wiring. Take it all out as you find it and get to know your boats wiring intimately!

    Anyone have a cockpit mounted Fish Finder?

    Thanks guys. So unfortunaly Garmin updated their Helm app to active captain or vice versa and now it's too new for both my old ipads. Also my 741xs doesn't have a transducer that works (i broke the end off). Only the striker which can't share that I can tell. So I could still run a tablet with...

    Anyone have a cockpit mounted Fish Finder?

    That maybe even better but I don't know if my electronics are compatible. I have a Garmin 741xs and a Garmin Striker Plus SV. Both have wifi. Will that work?
