We had a 2003 Grady White 282 for just about three years, our fourth Grady, and just sold it last week. Looking to upgrade outside of the Grady White brand I was initially ecstatic, only because the boat was on the market for a couple months. Now I'm realizing how much I miss not just the boat...

I'll be taking my grady down to the boat show this weekend. Looks like the weather will be perfect. Hope for a great time. Especially since I'm in the market for a newer boat! :lol:

We have yet to go on an official "trip" on our Grady and it would be great if we could take a trip as a group. The summer is quickly coming to an end so the sooner the better!

August 9th (rain date 12th) we're planning on making a trip to NYC on the boat. Since it is out first time anyone is welcome to join in with their boats. We would love to hear about places to eat and enjoy the day. We plan to leave early morning (6:30am) and get back around 6:30 pm. It'll be a...

We're taking a trip to NYC from Stamford, CT harbor for the day on August 9th (if the weather is on our side). We're looking for advice, good places to stop for lunch and dinner, and any takers if you'd like to join.

I feel like all I do is post problems on the forum but I'm always looking for ways to make the boat like new. So since we bought the boat we've experienced a problem when trying to pump out our waste tank. You can hear a very high pitched noise when the pump is hooked up. This is a real...

We have a set of two F225s on our 282 sailfish and after leaving the boat for a week and coming back one motor is always slightly further in the water then the other. It's like it doesn't want to stay up. Do any of you know the problem and what the pricing to fix it is? Much appreciated.

Hey guys, On my 282 Sailfish I've had a problem with my batteries this season. Here's what's going on: 1. Even when plugged into shore power, the batteries will die on me after a few hours. 2. When facing the stern, my left motor will always come up slower then the right after playing the...

Hi! We have twin f225s on our 282 Sailfish and we left it in all winter in Stamford CT. The weird thing about it is when we go and try to start up the motors after not having run them for at least a couple weeks, one starts without a problem, and the other wont start unless we put the batteries...

I've wanted a generator for my 282 sailfish but wondering how you hook it up. I already have the shore power adapter that converts it to a regular power cord. Do you just plug that into the generator and it's as if your on shore power? Thanks!

Hi all, I have a 282 2003 Sailfish and am constantly jealous of the owners of the newer models. I really want to outfit the cabin with similar looks. For instance, the teak table, the teak floors, etc. Is there any way I can order these things from grady white? Thanks. Also, anyone that has...

I have the stove in my 282 sailfish and it runs on that little tank of fuel, but we've run out and it's not a conventional size container so where do you buy them? Thanks.

Just last year we bought a 2003 282 Sailfish, a big upgrade from our 1993 Gulfstream. I'd be interested in hearing about any trips, news ,etc. Thank you!!

Right now, the only way I can use the outlets in my boat is when I'm plugged into shore power. That's great, but I want to run a heater while I'm out in the colder weather. Is there an easy solution? Thanks.

I'm keeping the boat in the water this winter up in the Northeast. I'm new to this boat this year and would really like to purchase a boat cover. I found one for $500 at "Discount Boat Covers," but have no idea whether it's good or not. Any recommendations would be really helpful!!

Okay, so I've been posting problem after problem with my recently purchased 2003 282 Sailfish! Well, after finding that we had ALL GAS in the bilge we were in a dire situation and went to the Grady White dealership (thankfully not far away). After getting the boat pulled out right away, the...

We recently realized the when the bilge pumps out gas is mixed within the water. I don't think their is much gas, but just enough the cast the gas odor in the air. What does this mean? Corroded gas tank? We're bring this boat into the grady white place asap, but we would really like to hear any...

Hi all, We bought our newest Grady, a 2003 282 sailfish early this year and it's perfect!! We do have something that I'm a bit concerned about. No matter where we are, the bilge (on the starboard side mid-ship) goes on almost every five minutes. Should I be concerned? Please let me know. Our...

I bought a 282 2003 Sailfish just this year and love it! Everything works perfectly and already we've had many memorable moments. There is one thing we encountered….. After the engines are turned off but the batteries are still on, one of them makes a humming noise like some part of the motor...

I've always been curious if anyone has put a TV on their 282 Sailfish successfully with cable and everything. If so I'd like to hear how you approached it. I'm considering doing this myself. Much appreciated…!
