A friend who lives just a few blocks from me, told me today that he is selling his 2002 Sailfish, which I believe has 2005 F250 engines, and the boat is on a trailer. He's moving up to a larger Grady White, and has priced it somewhere around the mid-60. I don't know if he has photos to upload...

I posted this on another forum, and have got a lot of views, but not ever one reply. Probably should have come here first. So... as many of you know, I recently sold my Grady282, and bought a Freedom 255. The Garmin 5212 that looks and works as it should. I replaced the GSD22 with a pre-owned...

My 255 Freedom (2012) has a factory installed marine head that looks much like a porta-potty, but plumbed to a holding tank (no macerator and no thru-hull discharge). There is a deck pump-out, so tank could be emptied at a pump-out facility. Most of our use is beyond the 3 mi limit for...

This new-to-me 2012 Freedom 255 has a dead nav light. I removed it today, and measured the voltage at the light, and it was 12.8V, so the LED is burned out. Port side works great, but I may replace them both, when I find the source. And that leads me to my question; anyone here know the brand...

The first item, and main problem; Freedom 255 vent window metal hinge piece. When my boat was delivered 2 months ago, the stbd side vent window, with hinge and window latch, were all missing. I can trace the port side window, and maybe find a glass company to cut and drill (for the latch), a...

As mentioned in another thread, I just bought a 25 Freedom, and the old bottom paint needs to come off. So I'm looking for someone to do it. I spoke to one guy mentioned in the other thread, (Gale Force Blasting), and he seemed interested as he said he could do it around middle of June. He was...

I just bought a Freedom 255. The bottom paint is about the worse I've ever seen; a hodge-podge mess of epoxy, ablative, and many places just peeling off is sheets. The boat is on a bunk trailer, so no easy way to put it on blocks. I suppose I will have to wait the month or more for a local...

My friend and neighbor down the street, is going to order a new Grady, to replace his 1994 208 (which he has available for sale). He's thinking another 208, but may go with the 228 Seafarer instead. Problem is he has never seen one, and there are no dealers with one to show; even a customer's...

I'd be buying one of these: http://www.lowes.com/pd_322576-75128-60 ... -_-43113_5 I saw them in the swtore last week, and took another look today. It seems to be made very well, and even has hydraulic lifts to keep the lid open. For $139, I think it's a deal.

I wanted to remove the dome-light lens; the one mounted under the hardtop electronics' box, and couldn't get it. Tried "palming" it and turning ccw, but no luck. The two screws inside the box, holding the fixture to the box, must be machine screws with nuts, as one of them cannot be loosened or...

All the discussion about props, RPM and top end that have been going on here got me to thinking about my boat. Smooth, clean, painted bottom, curtains up, outriggers off, 175 gal fuel, 10 gal water, some fishing gear and 2 people, I am turning 15 1/2 x19 SS props, 5100 rpm at WOT, topping out...

Just want to say to everyone who helped put this Palooza together: Thank You!!! Thanks to Grady White, Tri-State Marine and Boaters World, and personal thanks to Donna and Dennis Kaler, and Jeff Drury. Without their substantial efforts, this event would not have happened. Thanks also to Brian...

Here's a link to some prett nice pix you all might enjoy; Blue Angels, especially! http://home.comcast.net/~bzee1a/

Just got the call that my cabin rod-racks are digitized, the cost for the pair of racks, in 3/4" Grady-color-matched King Starboard, is $99, plus shipping. I will have to drill the holes and add the bungy cords that hold the rods in place, and buy a piece of aluminum angle at Lowes or H.D., to...

this old bod is tired. But she's coming up pretty nice. The bottom prep and painting was completed last week, and now I'm moving on to the next project. I have always been a fan of Collinite, but decided to try the Meguiars 3 part system this time. The hull had some stains and early signs...
