I am considering going from my 235 to a 275 and was wondering if there are any resources that diagram actual dimensions, not just overall length and beam. Would like to be able to compare the cockpits of both boats. My local dealership doesn't have any 275s right now so I can't go check one...

I'm having serious upgradeitis. I love my 235 and it's perfect for the type of boating my wife and I do. However, I got to spend some time recently on my buddy's brand new 27' Sportsman with twin 200s...and man it got me wanting a little bit bigger boat. Twin engines are a game changer. If I...

The zipper is stuck on the overhead storage area on my T-Top. Any suggestions on unsticking it? I'm sure it's just salt corrosion.

How do I turn off my tracks on my Garmin map without deleting existing tracks? Don't want to get rid of the ones already on the map, just don't want to make new ones.

Anyone have a part number or know where I can find this steering wheel? Mine is just basic SS. My buddy has this with the rubber inserts on his new Coastal Explorer.

When bringing my anchor up, every time it gets clogged up. It comes up too fast. Have to bring the anchor up in short bursts. The windlass moves so fast that gravity just can't keep up. Plus, it always gets hung up when it gets to the knot (I know there's a term for where the chain and line...

Almost lost my anchor yesterday. Took the boat to a beach side restaurant and dropped the anchor in shallow water, maybe 2ft deep. All is well. Threw out the stern anchor, no problems. Then I notice the bow swinging around. Weird. Guess I'm dragging the anchor, which never happens. I jump...

I'd like to change my registration numbers to something matching the GW font (either the actual name font or the model font). Haven't found anything that really matches. The closest I could find is the Asenine font on Boatletteringtoyou.com which is pretty close to the thin model font...

How and where is the cockpit depth measured on Grady? The advertised cockpit depth on the 235 Freedom is 25". On the 255, 275, 285, 307 and 325 it's 27". Where is that measured? Seems odd that there is only 2" difference between the 235 and 325. I know the 285, 307 and 325 have a wider...

Some folks have wondered about painting the engine with the Grady cream white vs just getting the basic white Yamaha. Here's how they look. This really shows the contrast in white colors. Basic Yamaha white. Grady cream white.

Got a new Yeti Tundra Haul and had the local SeaDek company make a GW pad for the top. Came out pretty nice. Contact Castaway Customs if you are in the Gulf Coast area. They also did a custom helm pad for the boat.

Anyone know how much anchor chain Grady's come with in their 23-27' boat lengths? I thought I read somewhere that the 235 comes with 50' of chain. The rule of thumb is generally 1 ft of chain for every ft of boat length. I was talking to someone with an older 235 recently who is having...

Are there any aftermarket drain plugs for the built in coolers? Took the boat out on a 4-day adventure, filled both coolers with ice and was disappointed to see on day two that the drain plugs had come lose and drained all the water out, which made all the ice melt very quickly. I pushed those...

The Pensacola Beach Blue Angels show was last weekend and it's the biggest boating day of the year. If you go you need to plan to be there early and stay all day. Our routine is to load the boat on Friday night, leave the dock at 5:30am Saturday, drop anchor around 6am and not return till...

Holy cow, check it out!

I have never had a toilet on my boat before and people have told me "DO NOT EVER USE IT". I don't plan to use it except maybe in emergency #1s only. Anyway. To keep it simple, instead of having to pry open the hatch on the deck and opening the seacock to be able to pull salt water into the...

So I did a dumb thing and forgot to turn off the battery last week and now battery #1 is dead. Battery #2 is fine and starts the engine no problem. How do I charge battery #1 back up? Should I leave the battery switch on #2 when running, 1+2, or switch it back over to #1 once I get the engine...

I need to add a couple more cup holders. For some reason there aren't any along the gunnels in the cockpit area. I have 4 rod holders (2 on each side) but no cup holders. I was thinking of replacing 2 of the rod holders with rod/cup holder combos...but the current rod holders all have the GW...

When I got the new Grady I also got the Vantage ceramic coating with the 5 year guarantee through MarineMax. Just got the ceramic applied. Can't really tell a difference, but I'm not actually concerned about the appearance, I bought it for the warranty. Has anyone had to make a claim on their...

Where is the fresh water tank on a 235? On my old boat it was right behind the console. I could open the console door and see how full/empty it was. Haven't found the tank on the new boat. Thanks.
