Hey Yall: I got a call from Glacier this past Monday checking in on me. He said a few folks were wondering about us. I live on a mountain stream called Caney Fork . We are at the bottom and have a few acres in pasture. The creek rose by my estimates between 10 and 12 feet above its base...

Hey Yall, This summer I was in the Keys and I lost one of those rubber stoppers you insert into the overboard drains in the ice chest fish box on the boat. I went to the Grady dealer in Islamorada and they didn't carry that style . I have been to Lowes as well. So, in mid 2000s Gradys they...

Greetings Both my 12 volt cigarette outlets are not functioning on the boat. Yes, I checked fuses but I think it's more like they just corroded out. Has anyone replaced their outlets on these models? I am thinking the best way is to pop those screw caps off and unscrew those plastic side...

I use my more to cruise, play , hang out at the sandbar than to fish. It's the nature of being a family boater I suppose . I am going for an extended stay in the Keys on Monday and had this custom Sunbrella top made for the aft of the boat . Its made of 1/2 inch stainless tubing with low...

Hey Yall, I have a call into Grady about getting those insert trays/pans under the stern seats . I am doubtful they will be still available unless they are currently used for other boats in production. If they are not available, what have you guys done to maximize that space for storage? Are...

Hay Yall, I do as much as I can on my boat's maintenance. I was doing a late spring maintenance a few weeks ago . Washed the interior well and tested the bilge pumps and float switches fore and aft. I could not get the aft float switch to activate the pump. I checked all my fuses . The pump...

Greetings, It's winter and I have been day dreaming on Boat Trader . I have owned my 228 now since 2009. She has taken me everywhere from the mountain lakes to the Dry Tortugas and Bahamas. It truly is a great little boat. I have long wanted a 28 to 33. In so many ways its not practical. I...

Buy a new boat your same size or trade up ? I have a 228 ..I actually enjoy her and have had the boat new since 2009. I keep wanting a Sailfish,Marlin or Express 305 /330 . That new Adventure 218 is really nice especially with the 8.5 foot beam . it's just a few inches shorter when you look...

HI y'all: I am in the Florida Keys visiting friends and staying at their canal front home . Yesterday we were preparing to go offshore when I noticed a lot of water coming from my forward bilge pump. I have never seen water come out of my forward bilge . So, I inspect the bilge and find it...

Hey Y'all, I have not posted in a while . It's been busy in my life but I wanted to share a story and it's somewhat embarrassing. This fall I was taking my boat out of Fontana for the winter. Halfway back to the ramp the boat just died. Now those unfamiliar with Fontana Lake in the NC Smoky...

Hey Y'all,. I bought a cordless DeWalt XR 5 inch random orbital buffer . I have a bunch of DeWalt 20 V XR tools so what the heck. My struggle here is finding pads. The buffer came with 5 inch disc with the hook side of Velcro on it. I am missing something here , but where do I find say 5-6...

I enjoy reading here because most of us are passionate about our boats, we either love em or hate em. . Back in the day when I was in middle school Grady White invented the Walk Around style boat and it catapulted them in the industry. At one point the 228 was their flagship craft and Grady...

Hey Guys, I repowered in 17 and yes 5 years later I have not got the boat dialed in to what I think it should be. Mid Carolina mounted the motor on the top hole on the bracket and top on the motor. I ran it for 2 seasons like this. Then KY suggested moving it at least one hole on the motor ...

From Grady White and I got one in the mail today. . It's a t shirt and on the back is a twin engine Freedom of sorts . It just hit me a moment ago . It hit me that the handful of Grady shirts I have had over the years if there was a boat on them it was their iconic invention , the walk around...
