    Average discounts in today’s market? 235 Freedom

    Wow! My retail just last year was a little over $200K. $180K after discounts. You sure you are looking at a 235?

    Average discounts in today’s market? 235 Freedom

    And the Yamaha's typically come with 5 year warranties, so the most expensive piece is likely still covered. When I bought new last year, the out the door price I got was close enough to the late model used prices I was seeing locally that I didn't mind paying a little more to get brand new.

    Average discounts in today’s market? 235 Freedom

    OP, that's what I'd be doing if your dealership doesn't budge significantly off that price.

    New I think it's around $15k.

    Average discounts in today’s market? 235 Freedom

    I don't know, but it looks like there should be plenty of room to negotiate on that price. Mine was a lot less than that new last year. I think they were running a 20% off special last March. Grady runs sales specials all the time. I just checked my sales slip....the "discount" was $23K...

    Ordering the perfect GW

    The motorized rear facing seat is pretty cool. Definitely worth getting.

    New Seadek - Marlin

    And it truly does provide better grip than standard deck nonskid. I love the stuff. Looks good, feels good, and if installed properly lasts a long time.

    Ceramic Coating 325 Freedom

    I had mine ceramic coated at the dealership as part of the sale. I don't know if it makes a huge difference, but it came with a 5-year guarantee on all the cushions for rips, mildew, fading, and stains....figured that alone was worth the cost.

    Freedom 285

    Just curious, what do you mean you have been around boats all your life? Are you an experienced captain? I've never boated up in New England, but I recently visited Boston and the surrounding area. The tides are crazy compared to my area and you really have to know where you are going. Rough...

    Engine flush quick connect

    Honestly, the quick connect was a neat trick, but there is a lot more flow just connecting straight to the engine the old way. I don't even mind that the quick connect doesn't work any more.

    Yeah, mine don't work either after only one year.

    Seating options for Freedom 235 and 255?

    I just use my big rolling Yeti if I need extra seating. Not aware of any permanent solutions.

    Jumping out of my skin - anyone else?

    We had one winter at WAZZU where it was literally -50 with wind chill. Minus 50 with about 3 ft of snow. They did not cancel class, they never canceled class. Any time it approaches freezing temps here in Pensacola schools close the whole city shuts down. When I graduated I swore I would...

    Jumping out of my skin - anyone else?

    WAZZU winters were brutal over in Pullman. Eastern Wash is a frozen tundra 4 months of the year.

    Jumping out of my skin - anyone else?

    I went to Washington St (88-92) and lived on Whidbey Island. Don't miss the weather up there at all!

    Hardware rust on a 2022 Freedom

    I'm new to Grady, but I haven't heard anything about Grady's reputation being tarnished?

    Hardware rust on a 2022 Freedom

    Yeah, something is definitely wrong with that. That's not normal rust. Looks like acid got on those. Maybe the original owner replaced them himself for some reason with parts off Amazon. Another option for the OP is to contact GW headquarters directly. Show them the pictures and tell them...
