I recently downsized from my '83 25' Kingfish 254. Purchased used in 1987 and I parted ways with it in late summer this year. Anyway today I was going thru and grinding up old bills etc. While doing so I came accross an owners manual I had requested from Grady after I purchased the boat as there...

I have an '83 Kingfish and am looking to replace the port and starboard wood rod holders (the ones located under the gunnels) with the same pattern racks made of Starboard or similar. Can anyone recommend a fabricator that has done work for you? In addition looking for opinions from folks who...

Ran the boat back from the Cape today and it is in the backyard. Winterize the engine and water system tomorrow. Season is officially over, it was a good one though. Yeah I know for you southern guys the season is never over so don't start... :lol:

I replaced the stripes on my boat a couple of years ago. This season when I uncovered the boat I see that one of the vinyl stripes on the cabin side had become "unstuck" for the first inch or so. What adhesive do you folks suggest for sticking it back down? Thanks

It is probably "famous last words" for me but I don't seem to have too many things to do the boat this winter, mainly just keeping up with stuff. At this point my only modification project is for some improved tackle storage. The 25' has an ice box to STB, in the cabin,that I never use as an ice...

I'm in the market for a new enclosure for my Grady. Does anyone have a shop they can recommend in the Cape Cod area? Thanks.

I am trying to get another season of use out of my enclosure. The two front windows are somewhat clouded, the sides and rear are still in very good condition. My question is what product has anyone used to clear the weathered eisenglass? I know there are many and usually a two or three part...

I am looking to get a GPS enabled PLB for this season. Surfing the net this evening I note that ACR has what I think is a new unit, the ResQLink+. This unit unlike the earlier version floats according to the literature so it does not need a floatation pouch or collar. Anyone have one and if so...

I have a few spring projects on the Grady and one is replacing the panel at the rear of the cockpit. On my I/O the panel goes from a couple of inches above the deck and runs up about 22" IIRC and is as wide as the cockpit. I have replaced this panel once and it is time to redo it. I was looking...

With the storm that came through last night the winds here gusted to 70 mph. I was walking the beach today and there was a Grady Marlin on the beach. I was talking to the guys aboard who were securing things and getting things ready for a refloat tomorrow. Anyway the boat had been on a mooring...

I have a DSC number and have entered it into my primary VHF. I am awaiting delivery of a handheld VHF with an internal GPS and DSC. Do I use the same number for my handheld or need another?

This weekend I removed the stripes and logos on my hull. Not too terrible a job considering they have been on there for twenty eight years. Still have to do the stripes and logo on the cabin side but that should be easy now that I know the process. The old ones were showing their age and it is...

Has anyone refinished their teak swim deck with Sikkens? If so how did it hold up? I have been refinishing the cabin wood, trim around the helm, and am going to do the cockpit. I like the finish and was thinking about trying it on the swim deck. I know people have used it on their cockpit teak...

What would you folks recommend for buffers? Particular type and perhaps brand. In short who likes what? Thanks
