My third GW I’m parting with for lack of use. Low hours—I think under 100. Zero issues and all Grady maintenance. Location Richmond Va.

Today’s dumb question. When leaving the boat for extended periods, is it better to leave the engines in the up or down position? I have twin 200s. Thanks

I have a 2016 Freedom 275 with very low

I have gone from a 208 to 225 to now a 2016 Freedom 275. A fine boat with great amenities. Here is my problem: I am having a hell of a time keeping it from sliding on its side. I play with the tabs etc but every time I get in it with a different number of people I feel like I am losing control...

We have moved from a 208 to a 225, now to a 2016 Freedom 275 . Loved 225, but with a big family it was getting tight. It's at dealer now. Here are a couple of shots at the dealer (Southeastern Marine). Dealer tells me there are some nice changes, including being roomier. Hope to have her in...

Possibly looking at moving from a 225, which I love, to a 275. For those that have one, what are the must have options on the 275? Thanks

True to form , came down for holiday weekend, and as soon as I start to troll, my 2008 225's buzzer sounds and overheat comes up. Tried to clear peehole, just dribbles water. Motor is a 250 with only about 250 hours. Water pump? Thx

I lost a port side front cushion on an 08 225. I knew they were expensive but was amazed when quoted over $500 . Anyone know of altenative soucing for these? Or something that would be a workable soulution, if not perfect? Thanks

Anyone added a hardtop to a 225? I assume it is doable. If so, what is best option and about how much would it cost? Thanks

I am thinking about using them. Anyone used them? Thoughts? Thanks

Battery 2 was left on and about dead. I know you typically only switch to all when having trouble starting but can you run on all to recharge number 2?

I bought a 225 new in 08. I had a boathouse and lift that would take a 225 but not a 275 with twins--what I wanted. Then they come out with a 30 footer. Now, low and behold GW comes out with a 25 dual console--why it too so long to figure out the the perfect IMO dually is beyond me...

I have an 08 225. At the end of last season the gage was reading 2/3s full when I would fill it up. Last weekend I took it out for the first time this season with a full tank and now it is showing empty and blinking. Have others had the problem? Why do boats seem to have sensor issues like...

Went to the Richmond show today. I don't know what the traffic was like Friday and Saturday but there was a good crowd there today. Southeastern Marine, a long time , Grade A GW dealer, had an impressive display and were dealing. They seemed to be very busy. Very encouraging.

I have an 08 225 I keep in a boathouse near the Chesapeake in Va. I put it up in late December and take it down off the lift in March. Temps can go from low teens to 45 or so. I do the typical winter stuff but do not remove batteries or put them on a tender. I use tenders on my cars (several...

I have an 08 225. Someone near me with a 225 recently had a motor failure in the river on a 4 yr old Yamaha-admitedly very rare. I thought about what a pain that would be if out there with my family. I thought about getting a 9.9 kicker simply for peace of mind to limp in if needed. Many say...

I have had an 08 225 about a year. Great boat and nice ride. Often on the river, when I am the only one on board it will begin porpoising for no apparent reason. I play with pulling the prop up and down and it sometimes helps but I guess i don't understand why it seems to happen in generally...

When I go out of my channel to the river there are parts that are 2 feet or slightly less. I struggle to get out often dragging the prop . Meanwhile I see guys going out at 20 mph on plane. My dealer said give it a try--that being on plane takes the prop up a bit. This seems counterintuitive...

I have an 08 225 with a Yamaha 250. At 13 hrs it started ringing an alarm and indicating "Water in Fuel". As luck would have it, my dealer's tech was down river and stopped at 5pm (damn good service). He pulled the cowl and no water. Apparently , a sensor problem . Have any of you had this...

I just traded a 208 for a 225 and with kids and occassionally my mother in law it can be problematic boarding the boat in my my boathouse with the lift lowered. I don't have a hard top so there is nothing much to grab. I have seen aluminum poles you can stick in rodholders and steps etc. Any...
