Hi All It has been a while since I have been to the site and after 8 years of owning our 255 I still would like to mount a kicker motor on her. We have a single Yamaha 300 hp on her and it trolls great but have always wanted a kicker and the new Yamaha 25hp long shaft looks interesting. Has...

Hi Everyone I am a bit surprised at so little conversation falling gas prices has generated on the site. Here in Canada I am expecting to pay 40% - 45% less for gas at our marina compared to last summer, which is huge. I expect to see more boats leaving the docks this summer and actually...

Hi All It has been a good old fashioned winter up here in Canada and a late start to boating, we are looking at mid-May to put Bukster in. I am curious and would be interested to hear back on this subject. This summer will be our 4th season with our Freedom 255, Hardtop, 300HP 4.2 L. How many...

Hi There For the past two seasons I have kept my Freedom 255 in a Marina and am considering purchasing a trailer for next season. I would plan on using the trailer to travel to different lakes and fishing destinations as well as storage between uses and during the winter. My range of travel...

Hi there This is our second season with our 255 and looking for feedback from other 255 owners. Ours is equiped with the hardtop, new Yamaha 300 hp ,windlass, sink station behind helm seat. I really like the 300 hp, it gets Bukster up on plane instantly with full gas load, people gear etc, no...

Hi There Well we have just finished our first season with our Freedom 255 and for the most part it was a good one. Typical learning curve going from a 18 foot (185) to a 25 footer with hardtop. Our 300 hp is mounted in the second hole from the bottom, with two holes above. What would be the...

Hi Everyone Well we had a great thanksgiving weekend (Canada) this past weekend, weather was fantastic, the lake was calm and the fishing was great. The only blemish on the weekend was the"bone head thing" Well you may ask what is a bone head thing? We were out in the lake fishing for pan fish...

I see on the Grady site that they have posted performance numbers with the new 300 hp engine. Just wanted to give you my real world experience so far with this boat with hardtop and the 300 hp setup. We are unable to get the recommended 89 octane gas so are running with 87 and we are getting...

Hi All We are really enjoying our Freedom 255 and will post more info and pictures soon. Wanted to make an overall comment on the 300 HP V6, it is a great engine and initial impressions are very favorable. This engine gets the boat out of the water in a flash, very, very impressive. I had 6...

Well, the wait is almost over. We go up to Desmasdons our Grady dealer here in Canada, this friday, June 18th to finally splash our new Freedom 255. If people are interested will post our impressions/reviews/operational results etc. "Bukster" has the new Yamaha 300 with the Command Link Plus 5"...

H Everyone We presently have a 185 which we have enjoyed for the past two years. We have thought long and hard about our boating needs, fishing, day cruising, and have decided to move up to the 225 with Yamaha 250. This boat as you know, has the motor mounted on the extended transom which we...

Hi Everyone. We are in our second season with our 2008 Tournament 185 with 150 Yamaha. We really enjoy this boat but want to take a big step and move up to the Seafarer 228. We went with the max h.p. on the 185 and would like some advice on h.p. choice for the 228, with 250 being the max rated...

Hi there. We have never owned a Grady and I have a few questions that hopefully can be answered by owners. My wife and I find it difficult at low speeds, i.e. coming into marinas, no wake areas etc. to keep the boat tracking straight. I have to constantly "adjust" the steering wheel to try and...
