Considering upgrading from my 180 to a 216 or 236 fisherman. I have a bigger boat for fishing trips and primarily would use the smaller boat for day trips to the beach, sandbar, restaurants, etc. Thats how we currently use our 180 fisherman, however the 180 is just so small and exchanging the...

Hi Joe, I have the exact same boat and year. I'll have to confirm, but pretty sure I have the 14 1/4 x 18 reliance SDS prop. At WOT I get 5900 rpm and 46 mph if I trim it out. No bottom paint, full fuel, 2ppl. Trimmed out for me is about 3/4 of the trim bars lit up and about 10%-20% down on...

Almost identical boats b/w older and new, except older 306’s had a raised casting a platform in the bow vs bench seating in the newer models. Aside from that, very similar. Older models also had a bench helm vs bucket seats in the newer models. The 300’s will buy you an extra 5 knots and...

I went with the 13.5” vision elite as I liked the look of the all stainless knob vs the one with the black insert. Really nice wheel.

Schmitt Ongara is the OEM provider for grady wheels. I purchased one for my bimini 306 about 2 years ago and paid around $175. The ones on ebay must be knock offs at that price. http://shop.schmittongaromarine.com/39-vision

I run a 2000 Bimini 306 and my neighbor runs a 2016 Canyon 306. Spent considerable amount of time on both. I have new F250s (4.2L version) and he has F300s. They ride exactly the same aside from slightly different fuel burn and top end performance. Incredible boats with plenty of room. Very...

Tied up tight in Pompano Beach!! We were lucky...no damage aside from a bent anchor light mast.

My wife and I literally just finished re-doing ours this past weekend. We did them ourselves, but bought material from Bluewater Canvas in Pompano Beach...they specialize in Grady White and more than like have templates on hand to re-do yours. Their prices were very reasonable, however we had...

My wife and I are thinking of selling our 306 and moving up to the 336 for the added benefit of having a genset, refrigeration and the ability to do an overnight if we wanted to. We've never ridden on the 336 and have only been aboard one a couple of times for a few short moments. I'd love to...

We back into our slip but have a finger pier on our port side that runs out to almost midships. I have a very heavy fiberglass boarding footstool that came off a Viking that I permanently leave in the aft cockpit. It has a hinged lid, so it doubles...rather it triples as a boarding step, a...

So, I called GG and they said they dont have the parts to repair it any more, but would sell me a new handle for $200 ($100 discount). It still rubs me the wrong way to have to spend that much to solve the problem. I've looked over this thing extensively, but I really do think it cannot be...

Well, GG sent the wrong pin that wasnt compatible. Turns out they dont make or stock replacement parts for my handle. Since I'm the second owner of the boat, their warranty doesnt apply apparently. They also want $300 for a new latch. Seems ridiculous to have to spend that much to replace a...

Yes, as long as your seacock works properly. They can become frozen if not regularly "exercised." Just make sure the lever moves freely open and closed before removing your livewell pump.

Ended up going with the drop in replacements...JL M650s. They sound good, but are a little clippy/distorted at anything above medium volume. I dont have an amp yet, so they are being driven purely by my fusion head unit (25RMS x 4), so hopefully the bad sound is related to being under powered...

Yes, I am experiencing the same.

I replaced mine with the bait sentry 800, and now wish I had used the 1100.

Thank you all for the feedback. I was leaning toward the JL 770s, but now I'm thinking I dont want to go through the hassle of cutting new holes. So I'm now deciding to go with either the MX650s and no amp, or the M650s and temporarily run them off the head unit until I buy/install an amp...

Thanks for the info! Yeah, I think my water tank is 39 gallons. While fishing we never use it...mostly just the saltwater washdown for blood/guts, etc. So, I usually leave the dock with 39 gallons of freshwater and return home with the same amount. I wanted to start putting that water to...

My live well pump was working intermittently, so I replaced it with a bait sentry 800 and that seemed like it solved the problem...until now. The new pump started working intermittently again, and I noticed that sometimes the switch on the console would light up as if it were ON, but was...

Thank you. No, you are being perfectly clear. I understand what you're saying about how the basket tapers. I need to measure twice on this one...hate to cut a hole only to find out it won't fit. Maybe you're right - go with the 6.5's. Size doesn't matter anyway, right...nevermind, thats...
