    Grady 330 Express vs 300 Marlin

    Cock pit on the 330 and the Marlin are close in size/space. As someone mentioned, seating under cover is much better on the 330 however it's tight getting around that center helm and bench seats. Cabin is more spacious in the 330 although neither is to the degree of an inboard powered express IE...

    Repower or Upgrade?

    ... Going the repower route here with my Marlin. Had desires to go back to larger diesel power boat but couldn't stomach the thought of stroking a big tax check to the governor. Putting new Yamaha 300's on this winter and will have the transom looked at and repaired if needed. The boat is in...

    Propping a 300 Marlin with new Yamaha F300 XCB's

    Wow those numbers are disappointing to say the least. A friend of mine has the 300's on his 33 express with much better results than yours.

    Yamaha Command Center CL7

    Question ? Does one really need a CL5 if they have a 3 gauge set up (one for each engine and the one illustrating fuel burn etc) ??

    Propping a 300 Marlin with new Yamaha F300 XCB's

    Question for any Marlin owners with the Yamaha F 300's ...are you happy with the SWSII 15 1/2 X 17's which seem to be standard issue ? or did you go with aftermarket props ? Were the stated factory performance numbers realistic ? I am in the process of repowering my 300, trading in the 250's...

    Grady 340 Express Announced

    ... yep , 4 gunnel mounted and maybe 2 of those side mounted would be useable in a trolling spread, other than that you need a rocket launcher taking up room in the cockpit to troll additional rods. that doesn't leave any room for a cooler to make up for the deficit of space in that smaller fish...

    Grady 340 Express Announced

    Nicely appointed as a cruiser boat with fishing being a secondary thought. Lack of rod holders and places to install them in that configuration as I see it. Any guesses on the retail price of the model shown on Grady's site ? 800 ish maybe ? I wonder if the transom still has the GW bang cap or...

    Cockpit Scupper Access

    So did you cut the access hole in the side panel behind the door or in the deck behind the door ? Any pictures of that access hole…although much needed I dread this job

    SOLD-2007 Grady 208 w/ 2023 Yamaha 200

    ... used east coast boats in the North East are generally more desirable than in the southeast. One big reason is the gelcoat isn't burnt by the sun. Nice boat, fair asking price

    Marlin 300 transom rod holders

    There was a four rod rocket launcher on mine when I purchased it used. The engines will tilt all the way up without touching it. Whoever installed it used only lag bolts. I was able to access and replace 6 of the 8 lags with thru bolts and washers which is plenty in my estimation to secure it...

    Recommendations for replacement of AC unit (Marlin)

    Purchased a used 07' Marlin approximately 4 yrs ago. It had a 6500 btu AC unit that was a replacement of the original. It was still under warranty and had failed so I contacted the manufacturer (Mermaid). They instructed me to perform a few steps/checks to confirm prior to sending it back. They...
