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...

How and where is the cockpit depth measured on Grady? The advertised cockpit depth on the 235 Freedom is 25". On the 255, 275, 285, 307 and 325 it's 27". Where is that measured? Seems odd that there is only 2" difference between the 235 and 325. I know the 285, 307 and 325 have a wider...

Some folks have wondered about painting the engine with the Grady cream white vs just getting the basic white Yamaha. Here's how they look. This really shows the contrast in white colors. Basic Yamaha white. Grady cream white.

Got a new Yeti Tundra Haul and had the local SeaDek company make a GW pad for the top. Came out pretty nice. Contact Castaway Customs if you are in the Gulf Coast area. They also did a custom helm pad for the boat.

Anyone know how much anchor chain Grady's come with in their 23-27' boat lengths? I thought I read somewhere that the 235 comes with 50' of chain. The rule of thumb is generally 1 ft of chain for every ft of boat length. I was talking to someone with an older 235 recently who is having...

Are there any aftermarket drain plugs for the built in coolers? Took the boat out on a 4-day adventure, filled both coolers with ice and was disappointed to see on day two that the drain plugs had come lose and drained all the water out, which made all the ice melt very quickly. I pushed those...

The Pensacola Beach Blue Angels show was last weekend and it's the biggest boating day of the year. If you go you need to plan to be there early and stay all day. Our routine is to load the boat on Friday night, leave the dock at 5:30am Saturday, drop anchor around 6am and not return till...

Holy cow, check it out!

I have never had a toilet on my boat before and people have told me "DO NOT EVER USE IT". I don't plan to use it except maybe in emergency #1s only. Anyway. To keep it simple, instead of having to pry open the hatch on the deck and opening the seacock to be able to pull salt water into the...

So I did a dumb thing and forgot to turn off the battery last week and now battery #1 is dead. Battery #2 is fine and starts the engine no problem. How do I charge battery #1 back up? Should I leave the battery switch on #2 when running, 1+2, or switch it back over to #1 once I get the engine...

I need to add a couple more cup holders. For some reason there aren't any along the gunnels in the cockpit area. I have 4 rod holders (2 on each side) but no cup holders. I was thinking of replacing 2 of the rod holders with rod/cup holder combos...but the current rod holders all have the GW...

When I got the new Grady I also got the Vantage ceramic coating with the 5 year guarantee through MarineMax. Just got the ceramic applied. Can't really tell a difference, but I'm not actually concerned about the appearance, I bought it for the warranty. Has anyone had to make a claim on their...

Where is the fresh water tank on a 235? On my old boat it was right behind the console. I could open the console door and see how full/empty it was. Haven't found the tank on the new boat. Thanks.

Noticed something yesterday that slightly concerns me. The aft drain ports sit right at the waterline. I had a few friends on the boat yesterday and noticed that water was coming up through the drain and pooling in the cockpit. You could watch the water go up and down in the cabin with the...

I know it's controversial, but I love SeaDek. Got it installed today on the new Grady. Came out awesome! Castaway Customs did a fantastic job!

Just filled up the tank yesterday for $6.20/gal at a local Pensacola, FL marina. Was curious what prices are like in your neck of the woods.

I was looking at some Freedom 275s today on boattrader just for fun and noticed they have a little pop-out step under the starboard gunwale. Is that an option I could get on my 235?

On my old boat I stored my cushions in the garage because there wasn't a place large enough onboard to store them. The head on the new Grady is plenty big to store them. Was wondering if the head is good place to store the cushions or should I keep them in the garage or maybe in a waterproof...

Was reading the owners manual and it recommends periodically removing the deck plate and washing down the fuel tank. I've never heard of anyone doing this.

What rear anchor do you use that fits in the swim platform locker? I had been using a 3lb Cooper on my previous boat and wanted to use it on the GW, but it doesn't fit in the that aft storage space. I have to keep it in the helm storage area. Don't want to store it in the livewell or the...
