I purchased a new freedom 215 Grady white with a 200 hp engine. we took possession in the June this year I wanted to give you an overall experience thus far. I have used the boat approximately 40 engine hours thru Aug. 20. I do not fish and use the boat primarily with my wife to go to. Small...

Great pictures!

I think you did MARVELOUS !

Thank you ……I think I might give it a try. Today we went for a dinner cruise to Manchester 6 miles…( no enclosure) Coming back it was windy and a bit chilly ….probably would have been better if I brought th enclosure) on the boat and put it up for a try What were the sea conditions when you...

Also welcome! Where is home base? I have the Freedom 215 …just purchased new a week ago. Previously had a 1997 Grady 24 Voyager…..Still learning the new boat. We sail out of Marblehead..north of Boston. Are you thinking of using the enslosure much? I have one but have not used it…would like to...

Very excited to acquire a new freedom 215 with 200 Yamaha….previously owned 248 Voyager 1997 with ox 66 2 stroke of the same year. Never fish …Use for day trips….and some overnighters staying ashore in visiting port. From Marblehead Mass. Love to hear about ride experience in chop and...

I have a 1997 voyager with 250 ox yamaha and a 9.9 yamaha high thrust kicker ( 1997) I use it mainly for an insurance policy if the big motor quits. I have used the engine on harbor tours and it gets the boat up to 6 or 7 knots in smooth water and or one foot waves--I have not used in bigger...

I have an 250 ox66 on a voyager 24. and the service dealer (Grady) has cleaned the oxygen sensor. I am not so technical but I gather that it is important to change the sensor rather that just clean it at certain times ? So how do you know when to clean vs. replace and what is cost--i remember...

Another trick I have heard about (when an inch or two makes a differance) is letting some air out of the tires of the vehicle or trailer. years ago someone told me they were able to get a delivery truck inside a storage entrance by deflating the tires by half way. Lew :bang

Congrads!!!!! You are in for some great fun. how about calling it Great Grady! or Grady 2 ? Lew :goodjob

Hi ! Congratulations ! Gradys are great boats and this forum supports these boats from A to Z. I am sure you will find both very satisfying. I bought a Voyager 24 two years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed the boat with hardly any problems. We are in Marblehead Mass. during most of the year...

Saw name on Baert MARINE WEB SITE-boat looked fairly priced and low hours-hope it works out. Lew

how did the survey/sea trial go ? Was the boat named Empty Pockets ? :hmm Lew

Are u in the Mass. area ? :welcome

Thanks for the info. I have been viewing the sites and forecasts and they are very helpful. From Montauk it seems that the most advantageous (smaller waves) route back to buzzards bay would be the longer route of going north to the Conn/RI shore and then east along the coast to buzzards bay. :hmm

Thanks this is a great web site -Also I have been monitoring the dial a buoy at Block Island. This aft. they had 5.8 ft waves every 11 seconds. We do not get much of that in Mass. Bay. This sounds like a off shore ocean swell-and the wind and waves were pretty much from the same direction. I...

I am doing a round trip cruise from Marblehead Ma to Fishers and Montauk with have dozen stops along the way. I have a voyager 24 and did a similar cruise to casco bay maine last year. Last year I was able to ge good info on wave predcitions for NH and the gulf of Maine and we travelled very...

Nice job ! Always fun to make imnprovemnets to the "good old boat" . Lew :dance

So, unless I am too sleepy I did not see what you said the asking price was. That will be a key determinant; in the sense that fair market value is at the cross section of what a willing buyer and seller are willing to settle for. There are dealer stats that can be obtained that shows actual...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have a friend who has a compressed air container and we are starting there to see if there is a blockage. Next we will try the thermostat and lastly haul the boat and get new water pump. :uhm
