As you may know, I'm in the middle of restoring my Seafarer hull. I'd like everyone's thoughts on which color I choose. I'm painting the hull sides and sides of the hardtop with Dupont Imron. I obviously used Photoshop to change the colors. I tried to get them as close to the actual paint colors...

I have to say, for being 30 years old, my boat still looks pretty darn good. But, I want the bottom paint GONE! I keep the boat on a trailer, so it's useless and does nothing but slow me down. Since it's flaking off, I'd rather get rid of it than paint over it. Doing this has turned into a...

Who makes curtains around South Hampton Roads? Mine are the original 1984 curtains (according to the last owner). It's about time for some new ones. Plus, the back piece is missing. With striper season starting to pick up, I might want that to keep the cold wind off me. Thanks, Chris.

I have a brand new Standard Horizon VHF, and I'm looking at getting an external hailer speaker. Trying to hear the bridge and lock attendants around here sucks. I guess they don't speak loud and clear into their mic. I can hear people on other channels fine. I'm accustomed to the standard...

After going out a few times with my "new to me" Grady, I've decided that I needed a bow pulpit. The misses has a hard time fighting with the anchor, and the only anchor locker on this boat is down below and all the way forward under the cushion. I do like to do some solo fishing from time to...

I have the Furuno 1833C installed on my boat, but I am having a hard time finding the cartography for it. This is the NavNet 1, not the VX2. Everyone wants to sell me Mini-SD cards. My machine uses the big cards with the slot down the middle. Where do I find those? I have a Navionics N/E Florida...

I picked up some Lee 1-3/8" outriggers over the weekend. Unfortunately, my boat has 1-1/4" tunnel mounts. I cannot find anywhere that has 1-3/8" bases or the 45° rod ends. I emailed Lee's and they pretty much said I'm out of luck. Anyone know where to find these? Thanks, Chris.

I bought a 228 Seafarer a few weeks ago. The anti-fouling paint that's on it is pretty ugly. Since I plan on keeping the boat on a trailer, I want the bottom paint off. Is there a safe way of removing it without damaging the gelcoat? I've seen the brush on gel, but I've heard that it can damage...

Hey everyone, my name is Chris. I just acquired my first Grady last weekend. She's a 1984 Seafarer 228 with hardtop, and with a brand new throttle body injected Chevy 5.0 and Mercruiser Alpha 1 Gen 2. This boat was kept in tip top shape. The teak even looks like it's been well oiled over it's...
