Have just come back from 2 nights cruising, over Easter with my wife around the local islands.Unfortunately the weather was poor so we didn't get to wet a line however did some beachcombinhg and got a bagful of great shells.It was very relaxing and nice to get awy from the "kids" 17 and...

Are you guys suggesting this instead of bottom paint or as well?

I don't believe the rules are any different for the make or model. You want it in clean water. So generally no further forward than 2 metres from the transom. Obviously due to the 20deg element it needs to be on the deadrise (not the keel) and not behind or close to any strakes or other thru...

I don't have a Sailfish but couldn't imagine having a non swivelling seat. we spend a lot of time on the troll and like to be able to swing my feet around to the side bench and watch the baits...... We have a plastic/nylon bushing on the slider under the helm seat which wears and causes us some...

We don't have a legal way to sign our boats here; but my personal opinion is.........I much prefer the name and port on the stern. However the 265 has minimal room at the stern and it would have looked cramped; so we went for the forward cabin. If neither of these is possible then i would opt...

Thankyou for reminding me of how little I have to worry about and how much there is to be thankful for; your courage inspires me . May Kyle have a succesful surgery and your family enjoy their Grady times soon. I bought our first boat to give our family a venue to be together on weekends...

Your GPS is the most accurate and as you noted you have KNOTS which is the way to go. It's got water underneath it when you are moving forward so it must be a boat!. Ordinarily if your log or speedo was, accurate, then the MPH would always read MORE than your knots on the GPS. Revs are...

Tanami in South Zoe Creek Annapolis residen Ken Lahr of "Reel Draggin' fame braves saltwater crocs to go ashore when Tanami was detained unexpectedly for a complete tidal change in South Zoe Creek on Hinchinbrook Island in Australia /08

I love the diversity of you guys, Yes to the Dixie Chicks................ Australia's most popular song writer/singer is a guy called Paul Kelly and he has some awesome sing a long hits and outstanding albums,but my favourite is his only Bluegrass album called "Foggy Mountain Highway". I...

I agree with all of NEM thoughts. I have a handheld after a couple of years with a remote on the hardtop. As others have said they just reflect off the stainless and kill your night vision and they are difficult to use at speed and even harder if it's blowing. With handheld you can steady it...

Having had both motors on the same (2000) hull I can tell you the 200HPDI's feel more like you would image an F250 to feel compared to a F225. If that makes any sense. I have read elsewhere that the F225 actually develops around 208 HP. Given that it is a 4s then it is also less torquey than...

There is a 265 with 200hpdi's for sale here. Could be worth a look and a ride.....

What you like about a boat is obviously a very personal choice, so if you can see lots to like then they are a great . My 2000 model had 200hpdi's initally and they were brilliant much more get up and go than the 4S and better economy. However we blew one up (injector prob) and repowered 80...

Marty you are a champion. This forum certainly works beautifully....cheers from OZ

I contacted Pompano boats in Florida (grady's largest dealer) or so they claim and the part number is for electrical parts. Yankee cause i wondered if you have the part number and dealer name. thankyou

Thakyou everyone, Grady have quoted part number #30-214 and suggested i get one from a local dealer. As the 265 was never availble in australia and dealers here sell so few grady's, that small parts like this would not be in stock ( i'm pretty certain) So i'm wondering who I should contact in...

Hi guys and girls, my helm seat has worn out the plastic surrounds on the sliders. So it rocks incessantly! I have checked here in OZ and there doesn't appear to be anything that'll do the job. Where should I look in the U.S.?

Chris that term is not used in Aussie so you had me "hook line and sinker" although I was questioning all the way through what the heck does this thing look like? and what is wrong with Harleys?.......especially if the girls think it's ok ......... Harley's get better lookin' every day. Not...

Rusty that is a great idea. I have contemplated that for some time for my 265. i don't have as much room of course but we never eat below. It should be quite easy to get the top pedestal fitting (underneath the chair) and if you want wood then a carpenter or woodworker could make up...
