Just a follow up on the windows. I was able to have a local glass company replace all the cuddy windows and skylight for a measly $300.00. I had to shop around a bit though - another company within eyeshot of the one I went with, they quoted me $1200.00 for the same job. So goes to show...

A follow up from my post earlier in the year. I was able to get the boat out 3 times at the end of the season to at least get a few trial runs, and begin going through the process of working out the kinks. I hit the rev limiter on the motor at 6100 RPM with a stock 17P prop. Granted the...

I replied to another thread where this subject came up. I bought a 1996 Voyager with the same issue - gunnel faucet box is dry rotted out. My solution is I'm having a 3D print duplicated of the original, but I'm also currently trying to source a faucet with valve integrated into it that will...

I purchased a 1996 Voyager with the same issue. I am having the recessed flange reproduced via 3-D printing, along with the two drawer flanges that go under the seats. They are all dry rotted and brittle, this will restore the boat back to a closer version of its original luster. Im in the...

Thank you! On a side note, this upcoming weekend may be the first time Ive ever used this boat. Been working on it since February in a full repower and cosmetic rehab complete with new wiring. I have a 300hp single on it. What has been your top speed and size of the motor on your boat?

Thank you. Yes, I wasn't going to waste my time looking for a replacement tub. However, I am working with a local fabricator to reproduce the tub for my boat via 3D printing, so it should work fine. Maybe not as pretty as the original, but will be functional for my use! On a side note - I...

Did these boats originally come with a removeable tub in the rear access hatch near the port gunnel immediately forward of the boarding ladder? attached pic is the access point Im talking about. Im assuming this is the same hull design right through 2010 with the Journey 258 model.

Hey FA, thanks for the feedback! The motor Im installing is an ETEC 300 (Im a mechanic), and hearing your feedback as a fellow 2-stroke operator. Those OS66 yamahas were the best motor they ever made snd thats coming from an OMC mechanic! On a side note the 248 is the same boat as the 258...

Thats interesting to hear thank you. I have an older 1980’s 22 seafarer that I switched from an old carbureted 225hp over to a fuel injected 300, and its like night and day in terms of performance - propped the right way I can hit 50+ MPH which frankly is too fast for that hull. 45-50 with...

Hello All, I'm currently rehabbing my 4th Grady - newly acquired earlier this year 1996 Yoyager 248. I'm putting a 300hp on it - was wondering what types of max speed people have seen with this set up. Going to start with a standard 17P prop and see where the tach goes and adjust from...

I use the boat both inland and coastal where there can be strong currents or tidal. Pushing a 25-ft boat that weighs 5,000lbs, a 25-60hp motor is the minimum to maintain control of the boat in these conditions and hold headway speed. I've been off shore in 20 foot sea swells, and as we all...

I own a marina that specializes in Evinrude, and can do all the work in house, and it already has twin 150 ETECS, so it simplifies the repower. So I have a unique position to help keep things affordable. I am a 2-stroke guy so my opinion is biased toward that given I work on them full time...

Thanks for the reply. I was reviewing the original owners manual/folder (which was still with the boat) and it says the boat is rated for 400hp. HOWEVER, the sales brochure says 350hp. I haven't seen this boat anywhere else listed with more than 250hp or twin 150's, and figured that was...

After several months I just purchased a 1996 Voyager. The boat is in all original condition with usual wear and will be getting a full rehab and new lease on life. 2 Questions: 1. The cuddy skylight window is broken on this boat (smashed). Any recommendations for a replacement, or should I...

Mustang, 232 grady is just a troll and karen, with the intellect of a prepubescent school girl. Dont waste your time on him/her. I think you can see were all on your side. Happy NY!

Looking for something with a good original hull, preference for something from the later 90's early 2000's, that still has the cushions & enclosure. Please call 603-two one OH 50 ninety-five. No texts.

Hello all, Earlier last year I posted a thread asking about top speeds for a 22’ tournament, ‘93 model (SV2 hull). I was only able to use the boat 4 times in the fall due to a heavy work schedule. Im running a 200hp ETEC, and mounted it 3 holes up on the grady drive. Initially I had it...

I am fixing up my 3rd Grady, a 1993 22 tournament. The duratrim is weathered and doesnt look good. any recommendations on how to make it look better or replace it?

Thank you for all the replies, for some reason I only received a notification for the very first response so just reading everyone’s helpful comments. I own a 22’ 1986 Seafarer as well (the ‘93 22 tournament is my recent purchase). With that boat I have a 225 OMC mid 90’s motor, propped...

1. If you took ownership of the boat in this condition, which you still have not answered this question - then this is your fault as if it was in fact in this condition you should not have. If the dealer was stringing you along, they are a bad dealer for not be honest. Why did you stay with...
