I have a 1997 voyage with a 0x66 250 and a 9.9 4strole yamaha kicker that I have been using more latley. I like the gas mileage and quiteness for harbor tours and watching sailboat races. I used the motor for about 4hrs. today and it stopped peeing (water flow) It has happened before and I was...

Really nice job ! I am sure you will be happy with the boat for a long time. So one of the benifits of the hard top I didnt know about until I saw a Grady gulfstream in M'head harbor do it is using the top as a diving platform. My grandkids can climb up the aluminum sides (almost like a step...

No wonder I could not find your boat. When I would drive across the causeway to the club I would look over to see if you were in and wouldnt spot her. Wonderful disguise. looks really sharp. Has it changed the ride at all ? Lew :dance

Hi ! I was in the same position about 18 months ago. I was a sailboat guy my whole life and was looking for something differrent. I got lucky and somewhat by accident found a an bought a 1997 grady voyager with a single 250 2stroke yamaha. The boat has been very good and a lot of fun. We do not...

Great pictures ! Also great weather-I have developed an acute case of weather envy-we are enduring endless chilly northeast winds here in marblehead (about 15 mi. north of boston) By comparison, the Chessy looks pretty good this time of year. Lew :dance

Tomorrow 5/4 is launch day for my voyager 24. It is my second season with the boat and although the weather isnt great I am psyched and a little nervous. I have made the following improvements on the boat (done by pros) -1) high water alarm-thanks to alert by GW forum. 2) brought the...

Two experiences come to memory- The first was on an O'Day Day Sailor (sixteen foot center board sailboat) about 30 years ago on Lake Ontario. At the time, I was about 35yrs old and had a strong young crew about 25 yrs old. We were racing in the National Championship and the wind kept building...

:<>< :welcome You are going to love this boat. I bought a 1997 voyager(yamaha 0x66 250) last year and had a great time on it all spring, summer and a bit of fall. The highlight was a 7 day cruise from Marblehead to Casco Bay and return. This summer the group(cyc) is going to mystic seaport...

I feel warmer already ! Thanks for organizing the event-Hope to be there. :goodjob :D

:welcome A quick note to welcome you to the Grady group. I am around the corner in Marblehead and have been the owner of a Voyager 24 for one year. Prior to the Grady I was a 30 yr. racing sailor and did some racing in Nahant towne class regattas. As you probalbly already know this forum is...

Hi ! I too was a sailor (sailboat racing all my life -IOD's rhodes 19 flying scots oday day sailors) and went to the "dark side" last year and bought a 24 ft. grady white voyager 1997. My wife and I like the boat very much. It is a walk around with a very nice sized cuddy cabin. It has plenty...

Thanks My gelcoat is in pretty good shape. I will try the Starbrite by hand. Thanks again. Lew :<><

What kind of wax did you use before and did you also put it on by hand ? Is the Starbrite finish equal to the wax or almost and mainly a heck of a lot easier ? Thanks- I am getting ready to clean my 24 Grady-(I am new to the boat and have inside storage) Lew

Thanks rich I will take a picture as soon as it stops storming here and send you a copy. I took a bunch of picture to post here before,went to a site to download them and did not quite work out. Let me know what sight you use and I can try those. I have some pictures from my grady whale watch...

I am not very good posting pictures. However describing what I see I would say it looks like a very thin outer layer of the hard top is flaking and peeling. It is a small area on the side of the hard top -about two inches long and the full width of the side -about an inch and a half _guesstimate.

Hi Guys-Girls? So I just finished reading some posts on the Marlin 30 and a fellow was describing his only problem with his Marlin was (vintage late 90's) some delamination on the hard top which Grady replaced. So I have about 3inches at the edge that is starting to Peel and delaminate. I...

Hi ! I have owned a 24 voyager 1997 250 ox 66 yamaha since Nov. and put it in the water in May 15. In general, I love the boat and its performance. The numbers you cite for the performance of the twins 115 yama 4 strokes should make you very happy. Cruising at 25 or 27 with gas mileage at...

So I just went to West Marine and bought some woody wax non skid spray bottle. I read all the instructions and went to the web site. I am still a little confused about the application on the hull. How do you apply this product to the hull ? Is it designed only for non skid deck applications ...

Great going ! I too had a learning curve with my 24 voyager -it took me a few weeks of running under different sea conditions to figure it out. My main problem was fooling around too much with the trim tabs -constantly adjusting them and not paying more attention to motor trim and angle of...

Hi I have a 24 ft. voyager with a hardtop and I used to have a bimini on my aquasport (soft top) On both boats I have used a gull sweeper I purchased from West Marine. It is mounted on bag which contains sand which I also purchased at West Marine. It has loops at each end and I use bungy cords...
