    Towing...what tow hitch are you using?

    I recently got the Class V Putnam XDR towing harness put on my Duramax. I would like to throw on a class V adjustable hitch but I have only found the class IVs? The only class Vs I have found are the fixed shank type and since I do not know what I'll be towing yet I did not want to guess at the...

    How much for an 89 228 seafarer?

    I have no experience with bluebook values but if it were me I would highly consider buying a boat with a 4 stroke. I found this one and it seems to be in good condition. Good luck and take your time there are plenty out there. http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/membe ... troke.html

    A Grady-White lemon?

    I have always read on various boards that the Grady White Factory customer service is second to none. If I had $$$ for a new boat I would not think twice, Grady is the way to go. There are always minor issues with any new boat to work out. I have nothing but confidence in the Grady name. I...

    330 Express

    I had an engine question here. I checked out the 330 listed below. It had twin 225 instead of twin 250s. I would assume it is greatly underpowered but looking for some real world feedback. Thanks all. http://www.schockboats.com/searchengine ... tDir=DESC& I thought I posted this...

    towing question

    I purchased a Putnam XDR tow hitch. It's overkill for your needs but I am sure they have the smaller versions. Although I have not towed with it yet I did extensive research and can tell you it comes highly rec. Just curious what your owners manual says about towing and hot climates?

    265 Express vs 282 sailfish

    Is there already a thread on this topic, I didn't see one? Has anyone fished both of these boats? I am looking for the fishing family trailering vessel that can do it all. I was pretty set on the sailfish then I saw the layout of the Express and liked it better but I have not fished either...

    towing question

    Sure you can tow it with a 1/2 ton truck but the question is for how long? There are a ton of deals out there on new and used Diesel trucks. Do it right the first time. 1/2 ton trucks are underbuilt. 3/4 ton trucks are overbuilt. Trying to save Registration costs is not going to make you...

    Duramax Towing

    I am trying to come up to speed on all the towing requirements with my Duramax before I purchase a Grady. It appears the factory tow hitch is not rated and or safe for heavy tows. I know you other truck owners will have a field day with this but I just wanted it to be out there for others to...

    282 Sailfish new vs used?

    Thanks bros. Man I am itching to pull the trigger here for sure! Therapy sure is expensive but worth it. Yeah most days in So Cal a medium cruise is more than enough to conserve fuel and to take it easy on the bait so it doen't get all beat to death before it's time to fish. Awesome replies...

    This is an awesome Thread. I was about to ask the same question. I currently have an 07 classic Dmax bone stock. The computer says I get 16 to 17mpg with the factory donut tires. Great pics all thanks.

    282 Sailfish new vs used?

    282 used 05 and 04 come with twin 225 yamahas for around 100k. The new 282 has twin 250 yamahas (of course no eletronics) for 150k (ballpark). Once I make the plunge just wandering what is the wiser choice to go. I won't be upgrading anytime soon so I'am looking at the long haul. This boat...
