    Wiring questions rel 2002 282

    I need a little help with lighting. I lost power to the headlight, the aft cabin light and now the horn don't work~~~~ The owner's manual is only good for wire colors. For example it states all cabin lights terminate at the main fuse panel. This is incorrect, main cabin lights terminate at a 10...

    Is Grady The Same???

    From my point of view, I just expected things to be cleaner and more finished. And, sorry to say, not everything is completely "treated". I replaced several bulkheads on my 02 Gulfstream in 2005 because they were rottting on the edges. The more I took apart, the more exposed untreated wood I...

    Is Grady The Same???

    I had a 2002 Gullf Stream and I now have a 2002 282 and I observed the same unfinished or roughly glassed over areas where you don't normally look. I have taken every single pannel and port cover off my 282 and I am suprised at what I see each time. The 282 is a great offshore boat and I...

    Need Trailer advice for 2004 Grady White Marlin 30

    Trailer Mine is a 282 Sailfish; they are close but I think the Marlin has a 10’ beam vice 9’6”. Regardless, it’s a big boat and it needs a big trailer. After a lot of research I selected Loadmaster of Ohio. My trailer was custom built for the boat. You are going to need breaks on three...

    Highway towing a GW 23ft.

    Get the permits. I have made the trip from Annapolis to Jacksonville and Islamarida several times. I have been inspected once when I towed the 232 and twice when I towed the 282. North Carolina was the worst. Short hauls, I don't bother. Long hauls I get all the tickets the ride requires...

    Winterize???

    I hear a lot of talk about putting the boat up for the winter. Are you kidding, not us. Still Rock Fishing in the Bay, and Offshore Chasing Big BFT and deep dropping on the edge when we can get there! Anyone else! Jekyl; you don't count! I could only wish I lived in Queensland!

    What trailer for Release 283?

    NOT ENOUGH TRAILER for that boat. Contact Gary at Loadmaster in Ohio. He will custom build your trailer. If you are going to keep your boat on a trailer, don't cut corners. I have full size 16" wheels on mine.

    Still glad you "Got the Grady?"

    First the Round-Tuit and now the Canyon Draggin', we are on #2 and happy with the decision to stay Grady. We looked long and hard at trailer boats; the 282 is a perfect fit for us. Although I really like the looks of the 305!

    Gulfstream Power

    I put over 1000 offshore canyon running hours on a 2001 Gulfstream with an ox66 225. She ran great at 4700 to 4800 RPM which was about 26 to 28 Kts. On a typical trip out ~70 mile average, we would burn about 100 gal of fuel each trip. Not to mention the fact that the eng is working hard at...
