Joe does sum this topic up very well. I bought the 2003 / 265 this season w/ Yamaha 225 four strokes and my main goal was to have seating for three or four under the hardtop, fishability was next and storage was last because we dont really stay on her overnight. I must admit this is the 1st...

Excellent information, I was not aware that the gen could shut down due to rough conditions. Will bring extra oil and gas as well. I am very hopeful we get a night bite this time round. Last Sat there were three blue marlin caught between the hudson and fish Tails so be aware they are out there...

Hey Tom, Boat name is Fish Finder. I also am using the EU2000 for 1st time. My intent will be to travel with it in the cockpit and bungie it to the bow while chunking at night. I agree the hydroglow will have to come onboard when fish are fought but I just can't resist using it as I have had...

Hey Tom, We are planning an overnighter to the Middle / Dip or Tails which ever looks best on the Terrafin chart. Saturday night. Leaving Schinnicock about 2pm Sat. Dont know if I will have the range on the VHF to reach you at Tom/s Canyon but will give you a shout on 65 and try. If you move...

Gentlemen, I took John's advice and went with the EU2000. I hooked it up last evening as a test and she ran beautifully, powered all electronics, spreader lights, additional spot, Hydroglow Tuna light, radios and so on. I ran it in econo mode and the unit did not blink. John, To answer...

Thanks Gentlemen, This helps tremendously. Gonna try the EU 1000 as I only need the spreader lights, electronics and possible the hydroglow light. Many Thanks, Dan

Would anyone know if I were to buy a portable Honda generator if I would be able to plug in my 30amp shore power cord to it and have power for an overnight trip? Would this run all electronics, microwave, spreader lights and so on? Thank You

The weather looks good for Saturday / August 2nd and I will be heading to the edge on my 265. If anyone is heading south on Saturday let me know and we can work together on breaks and results. I have Terrafin as the primary sea water temp to target good water. Channel 68 FishFinder Schinnicock

Hey Fells, I am making my 2nd trip to the Hudson Canyon in the 265 Express this Saturday the 11th. (wether permitting) I am interested to know if any GW owners are planning to make the run as well. The warm water should move north over the edge by the weekend making good conditions for Tuna...

Hey Guys, I made my 1st Canyon run to the Dip on Saturday in the 265. Although it was a beautiful day on the ocean we ended up with only two Mahi about 20lbs each. It was a tough day for yellowfin as I only heard of two taken. We ran from Schinnicock to the Middle and trolled over to the...

I have heard the same from Shinnicock to Mt. Sinai, 4 fish at 20.5 inches , information to be released by DEC by May 10th for a 15th opener.

Hey Kassie 1, Don't be discouraged if this one does not work out. As a new boater you want your very 1st vessle to be seaworthy and reliable (Outboar Yamaha) in the motor department. Your 1st choice for a Grady White is a wise one, however remember your buyer beware manners. The folks on this...

Hey Prodiver, Nothing like that great feeling when you finally pull the trigger. The GW will be good to you and the quality will be your best friend over the years. Congratulations and good luck. Dan

Hey Guy's, I have just started researching purchasing a life raft for my 265 Express. This post has some great information that will assist me in this search. I would like to ask what the issue is with mounting this device on the hard top. I actually have been standing on the hard top while...

Dictator, I am a new grady owner (2003 / 265 Express) as I purchased in February of this year and have experienced the market conditions out there. As far as a Grady over Rabalo I owned a Post and Aquasport, my buddy owned a Rabalo and I have been on another buddy's sea pro. The sea Pro I...

Hey Gents, I started the motors this afternoon and have a question. Both motors fired without incident and ran beautifully. I ran them for about 10 minutes ensuring they came up to temp. The starboard motor is not pumping water from the small hole at the base of the head on the starbord side...

SlimJim, The Yamaha owners manual lists all the parts you need to replace for 200 hour service and as GradyFish22 points out the motors need to be tuned as well. The parts over the counter cost me $498.89. The service tech is coming here to the house to preform the work prior to the boat...

Tashmoo, The dealer tells me the Yamaha 225F's dont have Thermostat gaskets???

Gentlemen, I have 170 hours on my motors and have made a decision to have the 200 hour service done prior to going splash next week. I went to Spellmans marine and purchased the parts based on the Yamaha owners manual for 200 hour service. The dealer tells me that the thermostats do not need...

Hi John, Congratulations on your new Grady. i also just bought my 1st (265 Express) in February and I can tell you they are worth every penny you invested. May you have many good trips, full fish boxes and tight lines. Dan
