    307 dual console

    I also have a 275 dual console with a 350 on it. The 307 looks really neat. It would be tight for my slip, but if you have the dough, go for it. I've totally outfitted mine for fishing off Wrightsville Beach. 55 miles to the break, and all the guys love to go, since it is warm with the...

    306 or 336 canyon

    Should be no problem with the 306. I have the 275 tournament with single 350 and go 55 miles to the break all the time. May upgrade to the 30 ft dual console in the future...

    GW 275 Tournament Handling/Steering

    I have a 2008 275 with single 350. At slow speeds, I find the boat a little difficult to steer straight, and have found that putting down some trim tabs takes care of the problem At wot, I run about 5500 rpm and get about 45 mph. I have a hard top, with lots of rod holders, outriggers, and...

    Dual Console vs Center Console

    Tashmoo's post is on spot. I bought my 275 in 2008 with the 350 with no intention to fish. Then I got hooked, since I wanted more reasons to be on the water. My wife thinks I should be committed. I've got out riggers now, added rod holders, added two more gunnel rod holders, with steel...

    Adding rod holders

    I added 2 rod holders on the gunwales on my grady 275. Actually, Crocker's marine installed them. I had them added so I could fight bluefin tuna (hopefully) with the two Penn 130's on bent butt rods I own. They spaced them in the middle of the two factory holders, and are straight down...

    Furuno Auto Pilot

    My 2008 Grady 275 tournament has the furuno autopilot. It works great. They were going to put Simrad in, but were backed up at the factory. Be sure you get the round control knob for course changes, it's much easier IMHO, than the buttons. It may be that the 511 comes that way...

    Single versus double engine settup on Gulfstream!

    My grady tournament 275 is powered by a single 350 yamaha. I'm real pleased with it, and venture out to the gulfstream quite often. Over 50 mile ride. My thoughts are its cheaper to run, service, and has great power and speed. If you have bad gas, it will affect both engines. If you hit...

    Need help picking an autopilot

    Check out the Furuno autopilot. And get one with a dial. Much easier for course corrections. I love my furuno on my single 350, 275 tournament.

    2008 Tournament 275 pics

    still love it The family really enjoys it. I've started to do more fishing, and have put Taco outriggers on the hardtop. Also added an mp3 jack near the helm for ipods and my iphone. We ordered the bow fill in cushions, which the wife and grandkids love. It's a pain to remove them, because...

    advice for powering the Tournament 275

    350 yamaha tilt Tashmoo: Here is a link to see pics of my 350 yamaha. It goes in today for 100 hr service. Tried for 30 minutes to add them, and just gave up! I'm going to ask them to change the tilt slightly so I can open the fish box door fully without impacting the engine cover. I...

    advice for powering the Tournament 275

    Will post pic Tashmoo As soon as I get back to Wrightsville. Maybe soon with the storm coming. Yes, it is completely out of the water. But have to be careful when it is fully up. When opening the large fish box, the edge of the cover will hit the engine. Also, if the engine is not...

    Bought the 275 with 350 I'm real pleased with the purchase of my grady tournament 275 with the 350 yamaha. Great performance. I wanted something that would be a great family boat, and also be able to fish some. In the 3 months since I bought it, I'm now into fishing. Been out over 30...
