Hey guys, currently in an older 1988 24 offshore that I’ve redone over the years and it has a 2019 300 Yamaha on it. Boats been great and I’ve actually started to use it a lot more lately than the last 3 years ( house, work, kid, life, etc) lol. Love the simplicity of the boat for how we use. I...

1988 24 Offshore. Repowered in Spring 2019 with a 2018 4.2 Yamaha 300. 30” motor with DEC controls and 3 years left on warranty. Just over 200 hrs. Fully serviced each season and always flushed after each use. Lots of updates on this Grady. Transom was rebuilt with marine ply and west systems...

This boat seems to check all the boxes in replacing my 24 offshore. I keep reading mixed reviews on how the boat handles chop/head sea. I’m on Long Island and the great South Bay can get choppy and my 24 offshore can take it but I no longer can. Tired of the slapping/pounding. Same when...

Was wondering what you guys thought my Grady was worth if I were to sell. 1988 24 offshore ( open transom ) 2018 Yamaha 4.2 300 30" with DEC controls repowered in spring 2019 currently have under 200 hrs New electronics 2020 - simrad nss evo 3 9", halo 20 radar, 3in1 transducer and airmar b60...

This is going to be a long post. I've owned my 1988 240 offshore ( open transom, single motor) for 4 seasons now and have set the boat up right for how I use it. Ive got a ton of sweat equity into the boat which recently includes redoing the transom and repowering with a 300 Yamaha. Near shore...

Went ahead and rebuilt the transom on my 1988 24 offshore. I cut the floor out as most do to get easier access to the wooden core and rear stringers which were also replaced. I used 3 layers of 3/4” mirante and west systems epoxy. The rear stringers I doubled up on 3/4” mirante making them 1...

I'm getting to the end of the structural part of my transom rebuild on my 24 offshore ( open transom ). Original transom core was 2 pieces of 3/4" ply and an additional 1/2" piece of ply and about 1/4" glass inside and out. I rebuilt the transom using 3 pieces of 3/4" merante marine ply, west...

I have a 1988 24 offshore with the standard notched transom. Sold my motor and repowering with a 300 yamaha but im going to rebuild the transom first and possibly change the layout. Looking for pros and cons to each option. - Keep current transom height (25") but close in the sides about 6-8"s...

Well trying to decide whether to keep the boat, go bigger, or repower i finally sold my motor and decided to repower. Going with a new yamaha either 250 or 300. From what i recall my grady is rated for 280 or 300. I was more than happy with how my 225 etec performed, wondering if the 250 yamaha...

Decided to put my 24 up for sale and go bigger. Looking at these two models specifically mid to late 90s given my price range. I like the thought of being able to trailer the islander easily. Would love to take it out to Montauk a few times a year. Also like that you can get away with lower hp...

I’ve been thinking about selling my 24 offshore for a boat setup the way I really want. Closed transom with twin engines on some type of bracket. Found a local 89 23 gulfstream with this setup. It’s got the closed transom, hardtop, and twin setup on Gil bracket. Original Yamaha’s one being no...

Still can’t seem to make my mind up on repowering my 24 offshore or selling and jumping into a 23 gulfstream or 25 sailfish. I really like that these two come setup with a closed transom and bracket setup from the factory. Does anyone have an electric head on their older gulfstream? I like that...

I have the opportunity to move up to a 1996 27 sailfish for under 10k. It would be a nice jump from my 24 offshore. It’s powered by a pair of Yamaha 200 Saltwater series 2 motors with one being seized up. Canvas needs work and upholstery is shot as well. Needless to say the boat needs to be...

Hey guys I’m planning on redoing my transom when it’s repower time. Would love to close it up and put a bracket but I’m afraid of screwing up the boats performance after all that work plus the additional cost of a bracket as well. I love the boat as is and in the very least would close in the...

Hoping to rebuild/repower my 24 grady this winter. I know the transom is wet so before I put a new motor on it I’m planning on rebuilding it. That being said, I have a few options I’d love to hear everyone’s opinions on. Should I: A: keep transom design the same but close in the two sides more...

I’m spraying the interior cockpit in some areas and rolling on some new non skid on my 1988 24’offshore. I’m using Awlgrip vs gelcoat. Anyone have success matching to original gel coat color? So far I’ve found egg shell or oyster white to be the closest. Thanks Jason

Hey guys looking for some words of wisdom. Currently running an 88 24’ offshore with an 07 225 etec with approx. 900 hours. Motor runs flawlessly and has been that way the last 3 seasons I’ve owned it. I mostly fish inshore and in the bay but have the itch to venture further out. I’m hesitant...

Hey guys, well I decided to replace the wood coring on my tank hatches which came out great. I also have about a 1’x1’ soft spot on the starboard cockpit floor closer to the fishbox. Decided to address that this winter as well. I basically cut out the whole non skid pattern with my multi tool...

Hey guys, I got a really good price on a new 4.2 250 Yamaha from my local dealer that I’m planning on putting on my 24’ offshore. What is a realistic number I should ask for my 2007 etec 225 w/ 850 hours. Prop and rigging included. I figured 7500.00 would be fair and I’d probably give it an 8...
