Yeah i would like to have a new set of opti's but just can't see the expense. The engines on there now are 97 model 135 offshore. They are workhorses. Have been told by a Mercury service manager at the Grady dealer here that style motor is one of the best that Mercury has ever made. Do away with...

It should be attached to a seacock(valve) to the water pickup on the bottom of the boat. then to a pump. Not sure how or where the livewell is on the trophy pro. But I'm sure it constantly refreshes the well with fresh sea water. Maybe some of the other guys that know this boat better can...

Have you looked at the owners manual?? They usually have the hose configurations in them. Here is the link to the 86 model boats.. http://www.gradywhite.com/customer/manu ... el=Owners_[/url]

Twin 200's :shock: With the 135's that i have i top out at 50mph or so with a full fuel load ( main and aux). The reason this boat was so appelintg to me was the twin engine security offshore. I have been tryng to get fuel camparison figures but can't find anyone else to compare to.Guess im on...

Now that Ive had the boat abut a year or so. I have noticed i haven't seen any other Seafarers with twins. I know it was a option for my year model guessing it was rarely chosen. Have any of you seen another Seafarer w/ twins or know of any?? Just curious because i haven't seen another yet..

What all do you want to know?? First hand experience with it, ride, handling???

Im gonna make sure i get it figured out when im down in a couple of weeks for the whole week. We are gonna run out to the edge see if we can troll up a wahoo or two while we are there.. Nitrox32 where do you keep you Grady at? I hardley ever see any of them in our neck of the woods. My house...

The plan was to go out and do a little bottom fishing and see what we could drum up. We left out and filled the livewells with bait at the pass and headed offshore. We ran to some natural bottom about 12 miles out and started fishing. We caught a few aj's and then flipper showed up. Time to...

Thanks guys!! So looks like with my cruise speed witch is about 31mph and with the 93 and 55 gallon tanks full at the estimated burn rate of 20gph.... 148gal./20gph=7.4hrs run time 7.4hrs run time x 31mph=229.4 mi range 147gals of fuel x 3.89gal (todays land price here) =$571.83 +...

I'm trying get an idea of the range of the boat. I have taken it out some already this year but haven't really been paying attention to the fuel numbers (Just the pump price number!). I plan on making a run in a week or so to the edge (~30miles one way) to Bottom fish and troll. I have searched...

No not yet didn't get to cobia hunt but one day this spring and that was only a couple of a hours. Seems like since the first part of April we have been on a weather pattern where it rains every weekend. Here is one from last year:

I was itching to get back on the water and Saturday was going to be the only day i would be able to go for the next few weekends. So, I gathered the crew and we decided we were going fishing come hell or high water!! Well we got the high water for sure. We put in in Joes bayou about 7:15am and...

Well after a long winter of repairs. I finally get to fish her this weekend!!! Hauling it down to its' summer home. Gonna do a little cobia hunting and grouper digging. The forecast is calling for 3-5ft seas in the morning and getting better as the day progresses down to 1-3. Guess ill give her...

On top of the hard top an my 226 is this square with mounts. It has removable pins in in each tube. It is strong enough for me to stand on with out flexing. I can't for the life of me figure out what this was designed for. What ever it was it was removable. What do you guys think? What could i...

We have a home in Santa Rosa Beach(Destin),Fl. If you decide to come down Destin way give me a hollar. I can hook you up with a few decent spots in the Gulf to fish on. We keep the boat in Douglasville during the winter and at the house in Santa Rosa Beach in summer..Don't know if you have tried...

Cool Lagrange is only about 45mins- hr from me. Where do you plan on using your Grady? West point?? The main difference between older and newer gradys is the SeaV2 hull design. Mine is a pre SeaV2 and i think it rides good, But the new design is suppose to be better. I stole this off this...

Can't help you with a inspector. Just look on-line or maybe someone on here knows someone..The transom issue i would think could happen if it was trailered or docked. The problem is the sealant on metal strip on top of the transom. The sealant fails then water is introduced to the wood coring...

Make sure transom isn't rotten #1 Check fuel tank(s) for corrosion/ fuel fill lines #2 Then check the deck and hatches for soft spots #3 Then after that the normal stuff windows leaking, pumps etc. Some of the others can go into greater detail this is what i would check to start with..

Thats what i thought but wasn't real sure. I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds it confusing. thanks for your help...

It's almost spring and i have just about got our 87' Seafarer back to fishin' condition. We took the boat to a local lake a couple of weekends ago for a shake down ride and all went well, except I'm a little confused. On the back of the boat there are two valves for the fuel tanks. We only had...
