    307 Owner Feedback

    Hi all, We currently have a 225 and have run it for 2 seasons now. It is probably the best all around 22ft boat out there. Performs great, it comfortable and has more room than most 22ft boats due to the motor bracket. Unfortunately, for most of our use we are just trying to put too many...

    Deck Drain/Hose Replacement - 225 Tournament

    Has anyone replaced the deck drains and hoses on a 225 Tournament? Ours is a 2005 and everything looks original (i.e. rusted and needs to be replaced). This is more of the freedom style layout with the fold down transom seat, not the the moulded in stern seats. I have seen posts on other...

    225 Tournament Transom Seat Rail Diameter

    Does anyone happen to know what the rail diameter is for the folder down transom seat on a 225 tournament? I am trying to order in a couple of clamp on rod holders to use for the weekend and don't know if i should get the 7/8"-1" or the 1" - 1-1/4" clamp on holders. Thanks!

    Grady 225 Tournament - Extending Fresh Water Shower Hose

    Has anyone attempted to splice in and extend the fresh water shower hose in the transom of a 225? I went to use it for the first time the other week and it is almost useless. I couldn't even pull out enough hose to get it over my head. Would the proper size brass hose barb be enough to hold a...

    225 Shakedown Cruise

    We purchased a 2005 225 Tournament back right after Christmas. I have been working on it all winter with the goal of having it ready to go in the water on April 1st. Well we were 2 days late :), weather stopped us on Friday, but we were finally ready to splash her yesterday. It was the first...

    Scupper Hoses - 225 Tournament

    Has anyone here replaced the scupper hoses on a 225 Tournament. Ours is a 2005 so it is the newer style. It seems like the stbd side would be fairly straight forward. If I remove the battery switch panel on the port side is it just as straight of a shot? Haven't had the boat in the water yet...

    225 Tournament Switch Panel Backlight Color & Tackle Box Options

    Tearing into our new 2005 Tournament to try and get everything right before spring. Question #1 - I am getting ready to order all replacement covers for the rocker switches, but I never popped one of the covers off to see if the back light in the switch itself is white or red. I know the...

    New to me - 2005 225 Tournament

    We closed the deal on a 225 Tournament yesterday! Scoped the exhaust on the F225 and everything looked surprisingly great, the yamaha tech said it is one of the best he has seen of this vintage, whew!! Now the fun begins and my to do list is already piling up. Beside the 100 hours engine...

    225 Tournament/Freedom Questions

    Two questions for folks with experience on the 225: 1) How comfortable is this model to operate while standing? I know a lot of the DC boats you have to somewhat hunch over to operate while standing. I prefer to do most of my driving in the standing position. 2) has anyone installed extra...

    248 Voyager Value

    Hi all, First post here, I have been lurking for awhile researching. I have always loved the Grady walkaround models and recently went to look at a 2000 248 Voyager with an OX66 225hp. I am trying to get a good feel for the actual sale value of this boat. Structurally it seemed sound. I...
