    208 trailer

    Sorry, but water is 8 lbs per gallon, Unleaded Fuel is 6.3 lbs per gallon. May not make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things, but just to clarify why water is always at the bottom of the fuel tank, it is heavier than the fuel.

    Finally a Grady White owner and finally got her back home safely...

    If you ever do this again, Enterprise Car Rental rents F250 Pickups, and in Diesel if you can get one booked. Not sure what the Uhaul Rental was, but you can be sure a F250 would have been alot more comfortable for that long of a trip. Of course there is the one way charge, but the additional...

    Sailfish - 272 vs 282

    I may have found my answers in these two threads: https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/272-vs-282.11971/ https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/27-sailfish-vs-28-sailfish.20729/ Is there anything else not in these threads that are a difference?

    Sailfish - 272 vs 282

    So, I am doing my research to be in the market for a 27-33 ft Walkaround. I see several 272 and 282 for sale and they interest me. So, where exactly is the extra foot in the 282? I have tried comparing broadside pics side by side and it appears this foot is in the cockpit, but I can't be...

    Trailering GW 300 Marlin, 305 Express of 330 Express

    In Georgia, a $150 annual permit would allow me to tow anywhere in GA, no escort required. $5 buys a 10 day permit for FL. Similar applies for SC, I mist likely will not tow outside of those states.

    Euro Transom to a Full Closed Transom w/ Bracket

    Posted this on another board, and wondering what the comments over here would be. Just curious, if anyone has ever fully closed a Euro Transom design and added a bracket to take advantage of more deck space in the original hull? Not concerned about a specific brand or Model, just wondering if...

    Trailering GW 300 Marlin, 305 Express of 330 Express

    I know that in y state (Georgia) I can purchase a $150 annual permit and tow anywhere in the state on that (I think up to 12' beam) and No flags or escort. FL is pretty good about this as well, not sure the fee, but it would be 2 tows, one in , one out and a week a part is what I am thinking...

    Trailering GW 300 Marlin, 305 Express of 330 Express

    My F250 is an '04 as well. Like I mentioned, I have towed 24K with it on multiple occasions. Of course, would not do that for 10-12 hours, but an occasional local tow, sure. Mine has been bulletproofed. I still fight oil temp issues now and again due to the fact the previous owner ran water...

    Trailering GW 300 Marlin, 305 Express of 330 Express

    magicalbill, this really helps. I kinda figured the 30'+ WA would be out due to weight. I hold a commercial CDL and have been towing something ever since I started driving at 10 years old (36 years ago). Imagine my F250 with a 9000lb gooseneck trailer that is 35' long and a 15K backhoe on...

    The Walk Around Cuddy R.I.P.

    I started a similar thread on another board. Focus was the fact that it seems everyone that used to build WA Cabins were no longer doing so, Except Grady and one or two others that I mentioned. Due to wanting my family with me on the boat, and my wife that will be tired of the water far sooner...

    Trailering GW 300 Marlin, 305 Express of 330 Express

    I had a feeling that would be the case on the 330 for sure. the 305 and the Marlin 300 might still be options. I don't live close enough to the water to pay for a slip or dry stack. If I were 15, 20 minutes away, that would make sense, could be out all the time. Like I mentioned, I have no...

    Hi guys. Wanted to drop in and say hey... Some forums that I visit new people get scolded for not doing an intro thread. So, this is kinda it... On to the question at hand. I am not new to boating as I grew up with boats and driving and docking, etc. However, never been offshore and along...
