    Wanted 232 Gulfstream

    Thanks SoFLGrady. Sold my 285 Grady last fall and want something smaller not larger. Larger is comfortable offshore but more to trailer, launch and take care of. I want a smaller boat that is easier to handle solo for someone who is closer to 70 than he cares to admit. The 232 fits the...

    Wanted 232 Gulfstream

    Thanks Mustang. I like it except I really am holding out for twins. Many of my trips will be from Florida to Abaco and Ocean City, MD out to the Canyons. (65 miles +) Twins will work much better for what I want and what my insurance company requires. I do like the price on this one.

    Wanted 232 Gulfstream

    Thanks for the link! much appreciated. A little too far, (I'm in Baltimore), a little too much money for the year and hours, too many hours, (I'm looking for under 750 hours), and really want 2006 or later as the transom went through a big change that is a huge improvement. But appreciate...

    Wanted 232 Gulfstream

    I am always amazed at how good boats look in advertisements. There are some excellent photographers around. Glad I am not in a hurry. One will turn up.

    We are new Grady White owners. We bought a 1978 Nassau 212-C.

    Thanks! Great trip though the boat was a little small for a 200-mile run to Abaco. I sold the boat after three years and three crossings but kept the steering wheel as I liked it. These were great looking boats.

    We are new Grady White owners. We bought a 1978 Nassau 212-C.

    I restored one years ago. Removed IO and installed a bracket and 150 Yamaha. Took it from West Palm Beach to Abaco, Bahamas three times! Stringers and transom were wet. New everything including foam flotation.

    Upgrade my Freedom 275 or trade it in?

    I just sold my 285 to an individual who is keeping it on the South River. We did 80% Chesapeake in northern bay and 20% Bahamas. The 285 provides 10X more space than the 275 and we loved it for 7 years. We towed it to Florida every summer and traveled from West Palm Beach to Abaco, Bahamas...

    Installing radar dome on 285

    I have a new previously unsold 2015 285 Freedom that I am installing a Garmin 24 Fantom radar dome. If anyone has installed a dome on their hardtop can you tell me if you used shims and what the sizes were? I would rather install correctly than try to measure rake while on the water.
