We have a 6-7 ft inflatable which we don't use often however when cruising it's great. It will fit inflated on the foredeck and I can still get to the anchor. On our previous boat it fitted on top of the hardtop which was great. It's just a matter of what aerials etc. you have up there and...

There is quite a bit of info on these motors on various grady's but mostly in the 26 - 28 ft range on this forum. I have been trying various pitch 4 blade props with varying results. Your cruise numbers don't sound as god as they could be. 1.8 mpg at 4,000rpm or just under seems to be...

Oil tanks are available in 2 sizes both of which would be plenty as long as the oil rods have been set at recommended gap. I am know my boat is more saleable with fours. Here in Aus. it is very unusual to see anything over 20ft with 2 strokes. Our fuel is much dearer and despite the economy...

I recently repowered my 265 express from 2x 200hpdi's to 2 x F225's so I've had both on exactly the same boat. First let me say they are both great engines . While I don't have Just In Times technical experience to report from; I have owned inboards, 150 and 50 hp Honda's and carburetted...

I have a bearing buddy system which allows for easy top up of grease however the stuff that came out was always milky and too liquid to be any good. We have used a superior grease this time. There are lots of stainless pieces on the trailer including the pistons however the bolts holding the...

Yes thanks Bill however my Smartstick only has thin Black and white cables, which i connected directly to the control box. The head unit has a small plug on the back with i think 4 wires exiting and there appears room to put another plug in there for piggy backing? does that sound right...

Ok I was uncertain as to the info coming from the smartstick as the head unit showed only bars going to starboard even as I turned the helm to port. I have got a tech to ascertain that the smartstick is working properly so i think the problem is probably in the control box ,or headunit or...

Black's more slimming. so you won't have to ask" does my transom look big in this?"

I use my boat at least once a month and sometimes much more often. I have an alloy All American Trailer with Kodiak brakes etc. It is 2 years old and I just had to replace all bearings, Pads, and have the rotors machined. We live in the tropics with very, saline water and of course lots of...

Yep, same here in OZ, Thought it was my new computer but then i come on here and I get my answer in seconds.....

I had a 454 that was 10 years old. It had the bravo 2 drive and was a great combination. My boat was a 26ft 26deg deadrise, raymond hunt design with a narrowish beam. Loved: the economy, the fish raising deep rumble at trolling revs, the awesome reverse stop with the big prop and torque...

Thanks, it turned out even better than I thought and would really miss it if we didn't have it now. It was actually built for my previous boat (a cat) . It had a really long cockpit and came with the chair. As we fish light tackle( 6kg) 90% of the time, the chair wasn't being used and i...

I hear you Magicalbill and feel your pain at the constant work load keeping on top of things. It certainly gets to me at times. We have a smaller "barra boat" like an aluminum bass boat; and it is so easy to run, economical, and relaxing because I'm not always thinking about whether something is...

I guess it depends on what size line you fish and what size bill you expect to catch? Reelax Industries in Australia make a 50lb Moreton Bay Chair. Has a gimble and you can get a foot rest. Ours came on a previous boat and as yet we haven't used the chair on the Grady however I installed the...

Yep. Sounds like it is an in hull built in during manufacture. I had a cat hull with a 1kw transducer under the deck and it was faulty. We contacted the factory but they couldn't garantee were it was . So even if we put a hatch in the floor there was no way to be sure it would solve it.Plus lots...

I don't want to derail thigs but KingJ you bike, now I am really interested.....I bought my grady from a guy in Florida who is a mtn biking nut and I have been riding MTB's and road bikes in Oz for over 20 years. A bike and a Boat what more could a person want?

Did you have the money in your piggy bank already or did someone have to go garantor for a loan? Who drives it? surely you can't get a licence at 4? so many questions......what will you get when you have a licence????

Grady Whites , Grand Banks and Nordhavens, all great boats in their classes. Hanging around marina's for me is like a 16 year old hanging around gaming and music parlours. I can't get enough . Living on board is certainly something I've dreamed of for many years. I was all set to buy a...

N.E.Matters ......did you replace your rudder feedback with the solid state unit as well? I have just spent the afternoon with a friend who is more of a technician and can't get it to go thru the full rudder test without it going to far one way and then stopping. Just not sure which bit of...

Looks great Bill. I particularly like the fact that you have retained access to the area behind.I find the lower box a great place to throw tide charts and maps for immediate use.
