    Kicker motors

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I talked with my Grady dealer and they said I need the long shaft. There is also pre-drilled holes on the swim platform for a bracket that's made for kicker motors. The dealer suggested using a panther steering system. I may either do that or use something...

    What to buy?

    Hello everyone - I'm new to the site but not Grady's. I'm very fortunate to have grown up with 2 Grady's- 1984 Offshore 24 & 1990 Tournament 19. My father and I were avid fisherman and when we lived in the SF Bay Area, we went bay and Ocean fishing almost every weekend. Life moved on and we...
