looking at buying one of the two. the ACR (depending on model) is about $100 more but has no subscription fee. the garmin has subscription fees but also has messaging ability. the ACR has 24-28 hours of battery life when activated. the InReach has up to 90 hours of battery when 10 minute...

so as most of you know, i have been working on replacing the fuel tank. im also replacing the lines from the tank to the racors. obviously, this new line will have air in it. how do i purge the air from the system, and where does the air come out? sorry if this is a rookie question, havent...

for those that use aluminum banding or angle iron to secure a fuel tank to the stringers, what type of lag bolt do you use to go through the aluminum and into the stringer? i can find 304 stainless, but i think i would prefer 316. would either be acceptable? would either cause issue with...

I have been thinking about adding a knob to my wheel or replacing my wheel with a more modern 3 spoke with an integrated knob. i know the new wheel with integrated knob would be the nicest/best option, but is also the $$$ option. which ever way i go, i dont want to get some piece of crap that...

263 Chase as in my signature pic my "problem" comes when a stiff wind is coming from behind me and i need to spin in place to complete a 180 degree turn and finish heading into the wind. when there is no wind, the boat spins nice and easy and i am on my way. the issue when its windy is that as...

for those that have to put the boat away for the winter, we are beyond the half way mark to next season! i thought it would be cool to post your favorite pic from last season to hold us over and get us excited for the upcoming season. here is my favorite. (if you have a 12 month season, just...

the tank in my boat gave up the ghost. i had expected this to be the case ever since i filled up the first time this summer (first season with the boat) as there was fuel in the bilge after filling. i got through the season by only running the tank about 1/2 full. yesterday, it failed the...

saturday it was blowing pretty good on the upper chesapeake, 20-25 mph. i figured it would be a good time to leave the girls at home and spend some time learning the boat in less-than-ideal conditions. according to windy, it was 2.2 footers at 3 seconds. obviously not dangerous, but...

ill be replacing my deck drain hoses this off season. whats the correct hose to use for this? bonus points for a link to buy, especially on amazon

Not Grady specific, but figured id share... For years, i have been fascinated by the Colombia River Bar. For those of you unfamiliar with it, it is globally renowned as one of the worst inlets/bars in the world. It can have 30ft breaking waves under the right conditions. its not uncommon for...

Anyone here fish it? We are in Ocean View for the week and i took my family to Paradise Grill for dinner. They were doing weigh-ins when we got there. Pretty cool atmosphere and decent prize money (not White Marlin Open money, but still pretty good)

for those of you that have had your fuel tank replaced by a shop, what was your cost and where did you get it done? in my research, i keep reading that the tank should cost about $10 per gallon (so a 200 gallon tank would be $2000), and then about $3000 labor for a total of about $5k. i just...

Has anyone done this? If so, thoughts? This is my first center console. all other boats i have had or have run had no top and the windshield stopped at chest height when i stood at the helm. this gave me 360 unobstructed view. I realize i will have to get used to the tubing for the T-top...

I am planning to mount my fire extinguisher to my t-top frame. i want a firm solid mount without drilling. i am thinking of something like the pic (i know the bar is painted in the pic). would there be any issues with stainless hose clamps on the aluminum t-top frame?

For those with a CC, where did you mount these? im thinking the Life Ring will mount on the left side of the console (door is on the right). i will probably try to hang it from the horizontal tubing for the t-top. Im thinking of mounting the Fire Extinguisher on the t-top, aft of the overhead...

i looked through a few pages of post listings and didnt see a thread like this. a couple other forums im on have running threads where everyone can just post what they are currently working on in terms of improvement, maintenance, cleaning, modifications, etc... without having a dedicated...

I have been on the site for a little while under the name Atlantic Blue. Other than looking forward to spending time in the Atlantic and the fact that the ocean is blue, there wasnt much meaning to the name. I had joined GG to learn and do research before purchase. Last fall i bought a 2000...

Anybody know how the name change process works? I requested a name change last week and my name hasnt changed nor have i received a messaged from the admins.

i want to reseal as much as i can of what goes through the boat. in doing so, i want to pull do deck cleats and the t-top legs among other things. are these screwed in, or through bolted with backing plates? if backing plates, any easy way to access? if no easy access, any recommendations on...
