Due to some life changes I put my Grady up for sale end of last year. Then pulled it from the market. Had a mild stroke this spring (I'm only 46 years old) after making a full recovery I'm ready to get back on the Grady! Actually took it out 2 weeks ago for the first time since the...

Found a killer deal on a 4 hp kicker. Ive been looking for a 9.9 for months. Cant find one. Do you guys think the 4hp would push a 246 at 5-7 knots?

I knew going in my transom needs replaced. Patched it up for the time being and its solid. This upcoming winter or next it will be getting replaced. By default, I'm a planner. Down the road I plan to repower with 4 stroke twins. Seriously considering not reinstalling the transom...

I have a few broken snaps for my enclosure, cushions. Most are an easy fix. Bought snap pliers and a large assortment of snaps. But the side snaps along the glass, are they standard snaps attached to the little slide brackets? Or do you purchase them already together? Can't...

Thank you all for the help and advise over the past few months. VST filter was def dirty and lots of debris in the VST tank. Got that all cleaned out only dropping 1 on the mounting washers in the drink. LOL! The last person in the tank put a stripped screw in the back of the tank...

I can't seem to find the part number for plugs. Best I came up with was a Champion number QL77JC4. No way am I putting Champion plugs in a Japanese engine. Just can't bring myself to do it. NGK 4551 (BR9HS-10) are those the correct ones?? Skunkboat?

Not really. Just the process of working out the bugs in a new to me boat. Last Sunday shake down run. Everything was great ran horribly at first but smoothed right out after a few minutes. It has sat for about a year. Ran approx 55 miles. Half way back oil alarm..... oh shit...

Damn near killed myself getting it ready the past few weeks. But all worth it. In the chesapeake bay with 15 to 20mph winds. Handled like a dream! Only 1 hiccup! Reserve oil tank pump quit pumping.. had to refill the engine mounted tank twice on the way back.

Bought by Grady back in November after looking for a bigger boat for almost a year. Spent the past 7 months with a total refresh. Bottom paint removed, all new hoses, thru hulls, partial rewire (removing cobbled auto store crap). Luckily had a great boss that let me keep it at the shop i...

Scored a drop off sheet of smooth HDPE from the plastics store for 70$. And went to work over the weekend. Granted i cleaned the comparments under the panels which made a holy living mess. But i think it turned out great. Not bolted down yet. Still need to add 2 lowrance head...

I saw a few Gradys over the weekend.... Hidden Harbour or Hidden Cove Marina.... Anyone from here??

First picture is the day is what delivered. The second is this past weekend. Still have a little plumbing and wiring to finish up. Hopefully by father's day she will be at the marina. All new thru hulls, scuppers, hoses, new bilge pumps, washdown pump, relocated water pickups to...

Just found an incredible deal on a set of marsh tacky 15ft poles. Not going to say where or how much..... ;) base options with a hard top and no mounting plates welded in. What are my options?..... Its very confusing. I would love to drop 5k on welded mounting brackets and quality...

I'm on my 3rd selection of hose. Can't seem to find anything that fits. Deck drains and scuppers. 1-1/2 inch barbs. Tried sanitation hose, fuel hose (what was there) and hot tub tubing (sched 40 flex hose) Nothing seems to fit correctly. They are too loose. Double clamped I cant get...

OK. 92 Explorer.. main fuel tank aft. (currently only a 5 gallon freshwater holding tank in forward compartment. Going to remove that and add the full length 46 gal aux fuel tank. It only about 10 inches tall. This will allow me to add a 30-40 gallon shallow freshwater holding tank on...

Preferably, early to mid 90s style switches?? Need a bilge pump switch and my OCD says it need to be the same as all the others. :oops: Planning on upgrading the entire panel but that likely won't happen until next year. Wouldn't mind a few acc switches also. Can't seem to locate them...

Im adding another hole and second bilge pump. Redundancy is important to me in this department. Any reason to wire the second pump to a manual/auto switch? I was planning on adding the second pump about an inch or 2 higher and only running the float switch (fused obviously). I like to...

Picking up a used Lowrance 9ti2. I run the same unit on my bass boat. The original plan was to buy another transducer, gimble bracket and power cord and just run 1 head unit and swap between boats. Can't drive both at the same time anyway. LOL. The Grady already has an Airmar P66 on the...

Totally 100% my fault. Bought a new aluminum (old stock) tank to install in the forward compartment (aux location). Its an 1 1/2" too long. Thinking of selling it and installing a poly tank. Any pros/cons. Looking at the Moeller tanks that are approved for permanent installation...
