I read on the Nizpro website that the tune for the 225 and 250 makes a significant difference, but on the 300 not so much other than a slight mpg improvement. Probably not worth the money on the 300.

If true, sounds like they just tuned it a bit. No major structural or mechanical changes. Kind of like how the SeaDoo GTI 130 and 170 have the exact same engine (I have one of each), but the 130 is basically "detuned". I have heard that the F300 can be tuned pretty easily up to around 330-340hp.

I don't think anyone in the history of boating ever regretted getting a bigger engine. My 300 is just fine, but I do wish it had a little more "umph" getting out of the hole. Unfortunately, the 350 was not available on my 235 when I bought it in 2023. If it was I absolutely would have gone...

I was looking at the 285 recently as an upgrade from my 235. There seems to be quite a few configurations on the 285 depending on year...wet bar, dual lounge seats, tuna door, long or short aft fold out bench seat...some have the wet bar on the port side, some have it on the starboard, some...

Something is preventing the engine from reaching 6000rpm as advertised. The 300 tops out at 5800. The 350 says 6000. Here's a screenshot from the 235 website.

Are you able to hit 6000 rpms?

It has to be the prop. You should easily hit 45+ with a 350. According to the GW website, the 350 should hit 48 at 6000rpms. You also might want to download a GPS speed app on your phone to verify the speed. I have noticed there is usually a 1-2 MPHs difference between the display speed and...

Have you tried various engine trim positions? Gotta raise that engine up as far as possible to get top speed. The day I got 48 in the picture I posted earlier was probably absolutely dead calm, flat, me by myself, low fuel, no wind or a good tail wind. 45 is pretty typical for top speed.

300. Do you have a 235? If you can only get 38mph something is wrong.

I just keep the Cooper anchor in the livewell now. Easier to get to.

I've been looking for a 285 in the Florida Panhandle and they are very scarce. That 307 is a foot wider than the 285 (which is already pretty wide) and almost 2000lb heavier...but has the same twin 300 engines. That might be a concern. Those 30'+ Grady DCs are beasts. Probably a little...

I spent a career in military aircraft maintenance. You can never have enough spare parts....

Gas cap came in today and it fit perfectly! Did not bother attaching that stupid plastic leash. Just going to be more careful filling up and put the cap in a safe place. Also ordering a second cap as a spare in the boat tool box.

Yep. Most do.

No response. My salesman got involved. She said she is sorting it out for me.

This particular one uses a plastic retainer. Somehow it popped the whole thing off when pulling the nozzle out. Not sure why Grady went cheap on the gas cap.

I just find it very surprising that the biggest boat dealership in the area doesn't have a drawer full of replacement gas caps in the parts warehouse for the boats they sell. If this one from Amazon fits, I'm ordering another to keep on the boat as a spare.

What a fiasco. Called the dealership and talked to the parts person. The lady couldn't figure out how to get the part number for the cap so she took my hull number and said she would call me back. I called Grady White directly and within 3 minutes I had the part number, but they don't...

Fueling up at the marina and the nozzle got stuck. Had to yank it out and my gas cap is now in Davie Jones' locker. West Marine did not have a replacement. Anyone happen to have the part number for a 235 Freedom? Going to the dealership tomorrow to see if they have any in the parts dept.

That's what we are looking for. Like you said, there just aren't many around for sale in the Florida panhandle. There are a few in south Florida. The Scout wins hands-down on looks and creature comforts. Grady's are first and foremost fishing boats...a bit spartan, but tough as nails. If a...
