    I have a 2007 222 that I need to install new transom tubes in. Grady sent me the brass thru hulls but I have not put them in yet. I need to get the tool.

    Considering repowering my 1996 209 escape: pros cons

    Go with either an etec or yamaha hpdi. I repowered with a 225 honda on a 96 and the stern was heavy. I would have put the hpdi on if I had to do it over again. Matt

    225 Tournament Anchor Size?

    I called Grady White customer service yesterday and they told me the biggest fortress that would fit in the anchor box was a FX-11. They did a test with 3/8 line, 300 ft. and a fx-7 and that fit but they did not try rope when they used the fx-11.

    225 Tournament Anchor Size?

    Bama, did you ever have a hard time holding with the anchor you had on the 222? The reason I ask is I had a hard time holding last year and plan to either get a bigger anchor or more chain or maybe even both. Thanks, Matt

    YAMAHA FUEL GUAGE

    That happed to my 2007 222. I replaced the sending unit and everything worked properly. A grady dealer had mine in stock, can't remember the price but wasn't to bad. Easy install to do yourself also.

    Bennett Trim Tab Size

    Bennett M120's. I installed them on a 96 209 and they worked great. That is what Bennett had suggested when I contacted them.

    How much is it to add trim tabs to a GW 208?

    trim tabs

    Check BOE marine, I think they have a sale on the M120's for a great price. I have bought a few things from them and they are very helful and you will receive the product quickly. If you call them, you will talk to Jim on the phone and he can give you advice. If money is an issue, you may...

    trim tabs

    The 209 was a 1996 model. Before I purchased the tabs I contacted both grady white and Bennett to see what they suggested. The M120's are plenty of tab for your boat. When I put them all the way down the bow shoves into the water and my top speed drops about 10mph.

    trim tabs

    Yeah it will get the bow down and ride much better. I put Bennett M120 sport tabs on a 209 and it was night and day difference. It is worth every dime.

    Rate this deal**MY BOAT SEARCH THREAD**

    Bama, good luck with the search. I've been pleased with the 222 so far and I updated the E80 with the new software. I just called raymarine and they sent me an update chip for free. I even got the navionics platinum plus chip for $255 when most places wanted $500.

    Crack in Transom

    Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I would be willing to bet the majority of boat makers do not use wood anymore. I do not think it is a problem using wood if done right. Grady and Parker still use wood and they have held up well for years.

    Crack in Transom

    This was my second grady and I really have been pleased for the most part with both. I had a 19 tournament and sold it to step up to the 209. Was going to the 222 next but I am going to shy away from wood. Grady White makes a good boat though.

    Crack in Transom

    Tucker, My 209 has the same problems in the transom as you have and I also have a soft spot in the deck about 4 inches wide. I have contacted grady and they were no help, even the local grady shop was no help. As soon as it comes back from the shop it will be for sale. I just made an offer...

    Crack in Transom

    My 1996 209 has done the same thing. It has aluminum trim but the cracks are in the corners coming from under the trim. I have not done anything with mine yet but it has concerned me. My boat has been in the shop for a month though with motor problems and will be there for atleast another...

    Seafarer Scuppers

    The plastic is not much in my opinion either. I do not understand why they still use plastic on a higher end boat like a grady?
