Well said richierich. I love my Grady, the hull design and the layout meets my needs. But Grady has been killing themselves with what I have observed as very poor QC. I am not alone with the mis aligned hard top either; so far I have talked or received bmail from three others. - If they...

Its just cosmitic. I went all over it. My Gulfstream was the same way, but I didn't measure it. I just knew because I had to have the clamp on rod holders on one side angled different. Also, with the antennas (port/Starboard) down, one rod is inside one outside. I probably should have just...

We have got use to a wet Grady ride. When we are 60 to 80 miles out, unless it is really snotty, we are running at 26 to 28 and getting wet. Yhats just the way it is. I could slow to 15 to 18 and keep everyone dry, but the five hour ride back to the dock would make it a LONG day considering...

I measured everything. Plan and simple, they put the hard top on crooked, by about 1/2 inch.

Capt B. It depends. If hauling accross state line or on a long haul, I get fully permitted. I use: Christine L Plaisted Mercury Permit Services Transportation Consultant (888) 239-7773 (702) 944-9973 (702) 396-1932 christine@mercurypermits.net They hook me fast and simple...

I was relocating several clamp-on rod holders this weekend and something was just not right. The holders on port/starboard vertical pipes were in the exact location at the exact same angle. However, when I placed a rod in them one was closer to the hardtop edge than the other. Steping back...

I have a complete Lowrance HDS system installed, two HDS 10s, Sirus Weather Module, HD Radar and a Simrad AP24 pilot. I had a custom pannel made for me to flush mount the HDS10's http://www.rdtkl.com/images/Fish%20Pict ... 0_4004.JPG Here is the POC for the custom pannel. He was very fast...

depends on options. probabil 7.5k and up.

LOADMASTER Contact; Gary R Straw Loadmaster loadmaster@cros.net Get it custom made with any option you can think of. If they don't have it, they will make it!

I brief everyone the MOB plan before we clear the inlet. In an emergency situation the Captain directs individuals to take specific actions. Never say, someone do this or that. The Life ring is the very first item to go in the water. Before it goes over we clip either the SPOT with 911...

Motor up, trim bow aall the way down, approach at about 3 to 5 kts then pull the throttels to "N" and coast over bringing the props all the wat up, but still wet. Its a trick, and only this bad when we have a low low tide and the wind is out of the north. Been doing it for 12 years. The...

There is another obstruction a little deeper, but I have never seen much down there. I went over it with the 260 hoping to get something better. Not much there. Inthe left bottom lock window, you can see that I went over it twice, on different headings:

There are a few wrecks/obstructions out that way in the deeper water. I spend some time working the TM260 and HDS10 software; trying to figure it all out. There are loads of options. Going NW Going east:

The weather has kept us from the edge and getting this system in truly deep water. So, I spent some time IVO Bloody Point in the 130 to 160 foot area. Running from my back yard, South Creek into West River we cross some shallow water at low tide. I thought I would have a look at the TM260 in...

every 100 hours. Which is several times a year for us. I always have two new ones aboard.

2002 282 Sailfish - Compas; Aft cabin behind the starboard wall pannel, down low. There was a spot that looked like it was made to mount something to it, so I did. - Computer and N2000 hub mounted to the forward balkhead of the aft cabin on the starboard side. - Pump is located in the...

Capt B. The Fall fishing North of Pax River at Solomans has not been what it once was for about four years. My boat is in West River, near Deale and middle bay. Most of the Fall season we trailer to Point Lookout. From Solomons the run to the fish can be 1 to 2 hours. However, there arn't...

Grady22 nailed it. I can't imagine installing a custom generator in the 282. The EU2000 is the way to go.

The 232 is a little more tricky. Only because she can be blown easier by less wind than the 282. The 232 was my first grady. Ya cant get around trial and retrial ... again and again. When backing into a slip with docks & posts on both sides I spin the boat just forward of the first post...

Yes she will spin very close to on axes. It is not quite as responsive as a bigger boat where the shafts are further appart. Ya gota take her out and get use to her just like anything else. I can easily come into the dock, drop one in "r" and slide her in. Same with back into a dock. Slow...
