We have the same 2022 Freedom 275 here on the Ches Bay at our dock with the same 200 Yamahas. Pretty standard, with the hardtop, rod rack, sink and 3 drawer unit on starboard side, but no grill or reefer in that unit. Has autopilot with associated pump, hoses, etc, power steering unit, and...

You will indeed love her for sure. The Grady Freedom series is easily the best handling (and looking) boat we have ever owned. I expect ours to be the last boat we ever have. Got the Garmin autopilot with ours and will use it alot with fishing offshore, and the Stamoid clear vinyl windows make...

Many thanks for your design ideas for this storage. Since this is my first winter with the new 275, I just rolled the enclosure panels up and stored them in my shop. MUCH better idea to hang them as you've done. Will be the next project for storing them in the basement. With warmer temps down...

Having owned a 228 for some years, with an F225 engine, I'd probably stick with a newer boat unless you could find a truly cherry older one. It would hold resale value a bit better if you sell it or trade it in. I got a decent trade in value for mine from a dealer on my 275, even accounting for...

I have used Boat US for all my boats for many years, including my old Albin 36 trawler and Grady 228 for quite some years. Got a letter from Boat US telling me about an "improvement" switch to Geico for their member plan and that rates could go up. Received a new quote from Geico for this year's...

I bought the last GW 275 that Tristate had not yet sold for this year. They are apparently selling boats for delivery in 2022 now. Paid for mine in July and got the boat about a month ago. Also ordered from Dave's Trailers in Glen Burnie a nice aluminum LoadRite tandem 10,000 lb trailer. They...

The motor ID is Yamaha 69JX1014365. It had under 500 hours on it when I traded in the 228.

Years ago, I added a Ratheon autopilot to my old Albin trawler and it was a lifesaver for longer runs down the Chesapeake Bay. Bought a 2004 GW 228 for fishing, but could not justify the cost to add an autopilot to it. One of the best boats we ever had. Traded it in on a GW 275 in August, and...

I just bought a new 275 to replace my older 228, and have recently discovered this web site. Looking forward to hearing about members activities. We are in Severna Park, and fish the bay some. Go to Florida to fish the Keys each year. Bought the boat from Tristate down in Deale, and got the bow...

What an amazing coincidence! I recently joined this web site and was just logging in when your opening post came up on my phone. The 228 you bought from Tristate was my boat for about 6 years -- until the block sprang a major leak from salt water corroding due to the previous owner not having...
