Has anyone here tried this product and if so what are your thoughts? I had my boat detailed today and this is the product they used.

What's the wisdom on here about ceramic coatings on boats? I'm very happy with the result on our car which we had done when brand new. My Freedom 275 has had one season on it with just normal wash downs. I'm wondering if the expense results in a more maintenance free and easy cleaning result.

I winterized and shrink-wrapped the boat on our lift in mid-December and have left it on shore power charge all winter. My previous boating experience years ago was to put our Sea Ray on the hard in December and being one of the last boats in, was one of the first out at April 1. As previously...

I've got my 2024 Freedom 275 shrink wrapped and winterized on a lift at my home on the Chesapeake. All my water related systems have been flushed with the pink antifreeze. It's been plugged in to shore power for about a month and my plan was to leave it plugged in until I commissioned it in...

I've got a friend with a 10 year old Freedom 335 that's in need of some stitching repair and looking for someone to do the job. He keeps finding that they just want to replace the entire cushion and he'd like to see if it can be repaired. Anyone know of someone that is skilled in these kinds...

My GW Freedom 275 is on a lift off the Chesapeake Bay where it gets pretty cold here for a few months starting in December. I've been using the boat up until this week and have winterized the fresh water systems on the boat but haven't yet done anything to the engines before my scheduled shrink...

I'm a new boat owner having purchased my Freedom 275 from Tri-State Marine this past summer. I keep the boat on my home dock lift and I'm looking in to scheduling my end of season services to include detailing/waxing, winterization, and shrink-wrapping it on my lift. I'd love to hear any...

Big big bluegrass festival all the past weekend at Sandy Point state park. It's about a 15 minute ride from where I live south of Annapolis so I threw some provisions on the boat and dropped the hook just off shore there. We enjoyed the tunes from the water for the afternoon and ran back home...

I'm a new Grady White owner and I keep running across references to an iPad app called Captain Grady that I can't find anywhere on the Apple App Store. There's a web site with that name but no app that I can find. What am I missing?

I'm new to owning a boat with this digital steering system and using the HelmMaster joy stick so from that perspective, I've been out practicing with the system and it's not quite doing what I think it should be doing. For example, with all motion stopped and the boat still in the water, moving...

I'm looking for some advice on how to outfit for short stints out on the Chesapeake Bay in the dark. I've waded through most of what I can find on THT and other sites on radar choices but nearly all of those discussions I've found are centered around sport fishing, seeing birds, etc. Honestly...

We're coming in to season where bad weather can happen. We've been on the water for 25 years so we've seen the worst of it being Isabel with around 8' of storm surge. Back at that time I had a Sea Ray 330 Sundancer at the dock in the photo below with no lift. I just put a couple of spring...

New Grady White owner here with the first of the many questions I'll have mastering my 2024 Freedom 275. Given that there are some drains on the batteries when everything is shutdown and the battery switches are off, I'm thinking it's important to plug the boat in to my dock power whenever it's...

I've got a 5' wide wooden deck on my home dock off the Chesapeake Bay and I'm looking to add a large (96")dock box. An option I'm considering is to replace a set of the 5'x2"x8" deck boards with 7-8' boards leaving a cantilevered deck onto which I'd mount the box. I've priced cantilever mounting...

My new Freedom 275 did not come equipped with the sure shade option and I'm interested in exploring aftermarket solutions to getting some shade over the aft cockpit area. Ideally it would be something that could be left on the boat and deployed or stowed as needs be. Any tips on where to look...

We just signed a purchase contract on a 2024 Freedom 275 that we'll be taking delivery of in mid-July. This will be us getting back in to boat ownership after nearly a 15 year lay off while we put the kids through school and got them all launched. Our previous was a Sea Ray 330 Sundancer...
