    2001 Sailfish Transom - How to Access for Rebuild?

    When I was going mine transom I talk to Grady they recommend that I use wood the way the boat came from the factory. That way it would not change the way the boat sits in the water or the way it runs.

    270 Islander purchase?

    This issue is not only with the Islander it is all of the Grady white boats. It is something that most boat owners don’t really pay attention to until it’s too late and water has already gotten in.

So instead of putting inspection places I had all that reglassed to look original. Then we...
