Email Seafarer228G and let him know you've donated to the site. When I did, it was a matter of maybe a couple hours at most before the ads went bye bye.

Just confirmed, I've actually got a PDF version of the 2004 Grady White Parts List on my computer that I'll see if I can upload, but for the live well it's the first part number of 10-296. Which per Google says is the above mentioned Ameritool brand and it says it's a 30 lb shock per the GW...

Welcome aboard... the fishing started off kind of slow for us this year in MA 9 on the southern part of Whidbey Island and then picked up like crazy throughout September. Had at least a half dozen kings, one of which was a very nice fish at just under 34" long. Then the humpies and silvers came...

There’s a 1991 on Boat Trader right now with a single 300 Etec and a trailer for $24k. Not sure what the actual condition of it is, if it needs transom work or anything else as well, etc. That being said, a transom replacement can cost upwards of $10k or more. So maybe anywhere from $12k-$20k...

I imagine they’re likely the same between a 2004 and a 2007 but don’t hold me to that. The different shocks are on page 130 of the catalog and appear as though the shock is a 10-296, 10-661 or a 10-675 depending on which one you need. If you do a google search for “Grady white shock 10-296” it...

Just make sure you do your research/homework on the topic at hand, as unfortunately another member had an issue when transporting his boat with a shipping company last year. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/shiply-is-horrible.37676/

Welcome aboard and congrats on the new to you boat, is it the boat that was listed by Bayside Marine? Here's a post on the same topic from several months ago, of which if you donate $10 to the site and then message Seafarer228G, then they will remove the ads from your account. I've got a 228...

That’s the same boat I linked in the above comment last week.

Congratulations on the new to you boat... maybe I missed this but how long has the boat been sitting for? Was there water sitting in the bilge for an extended amount of time? It looks like there's some rust coming out of the garboard drain plug area, of which I'd jack up the boat and make sure...

The "biggest problems" I've found are oftentimes resolved with the most basic of solutions, especially when regarding electrical issues. More often than not, cleaning or tightening up connections or just doing the basics are all that's needed.

Yep...

I admittedly know very little about the Dual Console style of boats as I have a 228 Seafarer, which is a walkaround style of cabin. That being said, I've heard nothing but great things about the Pursuit brand of boats and wouldn't exclude them at all. I think it's going to come down to several...

Good luck

I'd again consider something that’s slightly more expensive, newer and maybe nicer or needs less work? Did you see this GW 226 Seafarer on Facebook marketplace? 1999 with a hardtop, 4 stroke outboard and trailer for $13k. https://www.facebook.com/share/1B6RSBdiCJ/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Well yeah... you can obviously see that the color/texture of the hull is different in that area. If you're going to move forward with pursuing that boat, I'd have a marine surveyor look over the entirety of it first and let you know what they think before doing so...

Those "spider cracks" in the hull appear to be imo more than just "spider cracks", especially when it doesn't seem as though the boat has ever been bottom painted before...

I enjoy older vehicles as well, as I have a 1965 mustang fastback that I've restored over the years, have done multiple engine swaps on it, had it repainted, I redid the suspension on the car, the brakes and essentially everything else. While it's a fun car, I'm not exactly sure I'd trust it on...

Yikes... total budget of only $6k-$8k? I don't think you're going to be able to get much for that price and would also maybe consider a 208 Adventure as they're going to be a smaller, less expensive boat. In regard to weight, I think you're going to be at or over your 6,500 lb max towing...

No trailer, but here's something that matches what you're looking for. Other than that, I don't think you're going to find much, especially something including a trailer, for $30k or less. Good luck. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2004-grady-white-journey-258-9931322/

If I'm reading this correctly... per the Grady White website it says that the boat has 12 rod holders on it. 4 horizontal hanging rod holders, 4 side mounted rod holders and 4 cockpit rod holders. Obviously fishing isn't the main consideration on a boat like this, nor do I even think it's a...
