    1990 Grady 228g feels slow

    I will drain the bracket whenever my lazy ass boat yard wants to get to doing maintenance on my motor and boat, it might be a while cause whenever I ask how long they say, yes ‍

    1987 GW Offshore 24 (242GS): 200 HP 4-stroke OB too small?

    I have a 228g with a 200 4 stroke v6 and it’s fairly slow but has plenty of torque, I do 32 at 5500 wot

    1990 Grady 228g feels slow

    I think that this is the problem cause the Calvation plate on the motor or whatever it’s called sits right under the water but when the bracket is drained it rides just on top when I open her up.

    1990 Grady 228g feels slow

    O I have no clue about what prop pitch I have it was a expensive prop from the old owners, I keep it waxed and all with no bottom paint on the boat, I do trim properly when on plain but don’t get much a difference.

    Considering Grady White...would like some feedback

    About 5 years ago I learned to drive a boat on a 1986 19ft grady and now I use a 1990 23ft grady for boating and both have been very solid in my life, they both have never let me down and don’t be scared of getting a 20-30 year old grady

    1990 Grady 228g feels slow

    The boat hull is mint and I just waxed it. It is a 1990 but even the guy that out in are electronics was impressed. I do have to say that one time I took out the bracket plug and a ton of water came out so I’m thinking it might be that cause the stuff that seals it to the boat is all cracked...

    1990 Grady 228g feels slow

    I have a lot of shallow spots around me in my river and inlet because people tend to not get the sand out and it fills up, so I blew out my gear case and prop, The gear case case looks good and my prop looks straight, I want to say it’s the same prop cause it’s straight but looks like It was...

    1990 Grady 228g feels slow

    Don’t know why I couldn’t spell when posting. Anyways I have a 80 gal tank and I normally use it for fishing offshore or going up and down the icw. I don’t mind it offshore cause I can’t go fast enough but in the icw it kinda sucks. I push 32mph at 5500 rpm with 1/4 of my 80 gal tank

    1990 Grady 228g feels slow

    Sorry for not being able to spell in the post for some reason, but it was used in freshwater up to 300 hours and I put another 200 on it, in salt water conditions. I hit 32 at 5500 at wot and it feels like it had good torque, but maybe the boat is just heavy

    1990 Grady 228g feels slow

    Can’t open cushion

    So my 1990 228g hasn’t had the cabin used in a year, it’s basically a trash pile, but when I cleaned it out the center cushion in the cabin in front of the toilet seems to be stuck in the crack of the hatch and I can’t get either out, I might have a picture to post but I was able to get a pvc in...

    Can’t get a good cast surf fishing

    I know that this probably isn’t a question to be asked on grady forums, but I can’t get a good cast surf fishing. I’m very new to surf fishing since all I have done my entire life was trolling and bottom fishing, with some bass fishing of course. Definitely have the proper setup with a bottom...

    1990 seafarer, needs new rear cup holders and pole light

    I just was wondering where I could get new rear cup holders and a new pole light, my marina broke it, but anyways it would be nice to know where I could get a quality pole light on my 1990 seafarer, I really don’t care about the cup holders as long as they work and are metal.

    1990 Grady White 228g Bracket filling with water.

    I have a Grady white 228g that was built in 1990. It has a 2003 Yamaha four stroke 200 on it. It does sit a little low in the back but not anything concerning. I talked with some people at my marina and they say to replace the plug and go from there since its inside. They tried to look at the...
