    Anybody seen or got pics of the new Grady Hull colors?

    Was on the Grady website poking around and saw the new choices of hull colors. Wondered if anybody has one yet. Really hate to see them to go this actually. Something about that classic off white gelcoat that I love.

    Anybody gotten the new Raymarine S1000 Auto pilot?

    Seems to be a simple system and works well for boats under 25'. I got spoiled by the Autopilot on my Marlin and would like to put one on the Tournament 225.

    Humminbird 957, Raymarine A57D, Furuno fcv 620?

    Anyone have any experience with any of these electronics on your Grady? I was thinking of getting another unit to put beside my Garmin 498. Any thoughts on how they work offshore? I bottom fish up to about 300' of water and about 25 miles out.
