I had mine ceramic coated at the dealership as part of the sale. I don't know if it makes a huge difference, but it came with a 5-year guarantee on all the cushions for rips, mildew, fading, and stains....figured that alone was worth the cost.

Man, that looks fantastic!

Wait, you can't fish with a DC....everyone knows that.

Just curious, what do you mean you have been around boats all your life? Are you an experienced captain? I've never boated up in New England, but I recently visited Boston and the surrounding area. The tides are crazy compared to my area and you really have to know where you are going. Rough...

Honestly, the quick connect was a neat trick, but there is a lot more flow just connecting straight to the engine the old way. I don't even mind that the quick connect doesn't work any more.

Yeah, mine don't work either after only one year.

I just use my big rolling Yeti if I need extra seating. Not aware of any permanent solutions.

We had one winter at WAZZU where it was literally -50 with wind chill. Minus 50 with about 3 ft of snow. They did not cancel class, they never canceled class. Any time it approaches freezing temps here in Pensacola schools close the whole city shuts down. When I graduated I swore I would...

WAZZU winters were brutal over in Pullman. Eastern Wash is a frozen tundra 4 months of the year.

I went to Washington St (88-92) and lived on Whidbey Island. Don't miss the weather up there at all!

I'm new to Grady, but I haven't heard anything about Grady's reputation being tarnished?

Yeah, something is definitely wrong with that. That's not normal rust. Looks like acid got on those. Maybe the original owner replaced them himself for some reason with parts off Amazon. Another option for the OP is to contact GW headquarters directly. Show them the pictures and tell them...

Don't want to rub it in....but around here we boat all year... My buddy just sold his SeaHunt and bought a new Coastal 281. I know it's driving him crazy with the boat being at the dealership getting electronics installed and all the rigging. Said it should be ready next week...

My buddy has what we believe to be a Covid World Cat. Bought it new in 2022. What a mess. Rust bubbling up under paint, large cracks all over, the entire electrical system had to be replaced, the center console has been replaced twice...what a nightmare.

Here's a link to the GW warranty. https://answers.gradywhite.com/customers/s/article/Grady-White-Boats-Warranty Can't hurt to contact the dealer. All they can say is no...

They probably won't warranty it. They only have a one year warranty. Just get new parts and replace them. Since you bought it used you have no idea what the previous owner did.

There are a bunch of sites that do custom registration numbers, but I can't find one that has the Grady font or something close enough for me.

I'd like to change my registration numbers to something matching the GW font (either the actual name font or the model font). Haven't found anything that really matches. The closest I could find is the Asenine font on Boatletteringtoyou.com which is pretty close to the thin model font...

I want to do the same, but only for flags. I'm a bit of a flag-whore. My only complaint about my Freedom is that the rocket launchers are on the sides. I prefer to fly flags from the top. I'd love to find a bolt-on solution.

My buddy's Coastal 281 has sureshade and top rocket launchers. I'm sure you could find someone to fabricate something like this.
