Absolutely stay with the surveyor at all times. You will learn a lot as he goes through it. Acceptable moisture is subjective - the glass should be solid when he hits it with a hammer and have no dull thuds. He will tell you if the transom is shot or not. The aux tank vs main tank: ask the...

My cousin was going to do the hardtop but like you mentioned - moving up was in his plans - so recouping the investment on the hardtop wasnt really there for him. Are factory correct hardtops even available?

You are most welcome. I'm glad everything worked out. I can personally vouch for that boat. It is a GREAT boat - and my cousin is absolutely METICULOUS. (technically he is my second cousin). He gets it from my uncle (his grandfather_ - who is a 4 time grady owner. They only buy the best of...

I would also not hesitate to reach out to your local marina and / or TowboatUS / Seatow guys. I used to tow for TowboatUS Philadelphia, and I was recently purchasing a boat in Maryland - i reached out through the "network" to the local towboat guys and they recommended a surveyor for me. That...

I'm searching for slips myself for next year. I'm closest to Manasquan Inlet (although shark river is also close, but I prefer MI because you can get to the bay / ICW) ... For next year the best I was quoted was 3000 for a floating dock wet slip, and 125$ a foot for rack storage. I did not...

i’ll PM you his number … text him he has loads of photos and the full boat history.

Correction… his hull is a 97, motor is an 04 with 400hrs and a 2019 aluminum trailer. I thought the hull was newer because its in such good condition. I think hes looking to get 15k out of it. Its been stored indoors its whole life so it shows like a much newer boat.

crap. My cousin has a 2007 208 with a F200 and it's in mint+ condition. It's REALLY beautiful, but it's in Raleigh / Beaufort NC. I know he's looking to move up to a 282 or 300

yeah im definitely in for the long haul ... 10+ years. I went under contract on the 05 and had it surveyed this weekend... and i wasnt super happy with the survey. In the end i'd be paying premium retail prices for a boat in low retail condition. I made a REALLY REALLY big mistake looking at...

The broker pictures are admittedly awful. I have better pictures of the dock rash if you are still interested. The cushions in the vberth look like theyve never even been sat on.

https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2006-grady-white-232-gulfsteam-7867855/ i have looked at it in person. The gelcoat and rub rails are flawless. Very good condition. The only issues i found were: stbd motor has pretty bad dock or rope rash. Will need the lower cowling replaced or repaired and...

My uncle had a 232 and the one thing he told me about the 232 is: *make sure it isnt underpowered* ... He had twin 150s, but I've heard him and many others say the 232s with a single 225 or a 250 are rather underpowered. The 232 is a big girl and digs a big hole. His 232 was an absolute tank...

do you reef/wreck fish a lot where you need a different anchor setup? I always used to travel with a reef/wreck anchor (oversized danforth, extra extra chain, tons of rode, anchor ball) and use that instead of my main anchor on the windlass. I kept it in a large milk crate and I could take it...

Hi everyone! I'm a former professional boat captain/former Parker owner/soon-to-be-former hardcore kayak fisherman/likely soon to be Grady owner. I have been in love with the 257 ever since i first saw one up close when I had my parker...About 10 years in the slip directly facing mine was a...
