    1990 Grady 228g feels slow

    Sorry for not being able to spell in the post for some reason, but it was used in freshwater up to 300 hours and I put another 200 on it, in salt water conditions. I hit 32 at 5500 at wot and it feels like it had good torque, but maybe the boat is just heavy

    Can’t open cushion

    So my 1990 228g hasn’t had the cabin used in a year, it’s basically a trash pile, but when I cleaned it out the center cushion in the cabin in front of the toilet seems to be stuck in the crack of the hatch and I can’t get either out, I might have a picture to post but I was able to get a pvc in...

    Can’t get a good cast surf fishing

    I know that this probably isn’t a question to be asked on grady forums, but I can’t get a good cast surf fishing. I’m very new to surf fishing since all I have done my entire life was trolling and bottom fishing, with some bass fishing of course. Definitely have the proper setup with a bottom...

    1990 seafarer, needs new rear cup holders and pole light

    I just was wondering where I could get new rear cup holders and a new pole light, my marina broke it, but anyways it would be nice to know where I could get a quality pole light on my 1990 seafarer, I really don’t care about the cup holders as long as they work and are metal.

    1990 Grady White 228g Bracket filling with water.

    I have a Grady white 228g that was built in 1990. It has a 2003 Yamaha four stroke 200 on it. It does sit a little low in the back but not anything concerning. I talked with some people at my marina and they say to replace the plug and go from there since its inside. They tried to look at the...

    My 1999 228g has wood trim problems

    I take great care of this boat and cover it up after every use. I do spray it off and all. The first time we had the boat a few years back the wood was shit all white and cracked. My dad is a dentist and knew a woodworking guy that was his patient. This guy later dies cause he was 80 after the...

    Grady white took some hard hits

    Ok, thanks I’m not very inexperienced but it just caught me off guard and shit my pants. But it sounds like everything should be fine. From what I could see at the dock everything was fine, no water was running in, nothing seems abnormal.
