Cleaned the caulking on my deck with Soft Scrub with bleach - worked amazingly well! I put the Soft Scrub in a clear condiment bottle which made it much easier to apply it only to the caulk (and not get it on the fiberglass deck). Let it sit overnight and rinsed it off. Was so pleased with...

I'm thinking about buying a 2019 Marlin 300 with twin 300's and Helm Master. I currently have a 2010 Grady Tournament 275 that I've loved. I want something a little bigger, with a cabin for occasional overnights. I've looked at the 330 Express and it's bigger than I want/need and the fuel...

I am considering purchasing a Marlin 300 although I had looked at an Express 330. I presently have a Tournament 275 that I absolutely love, but I want something with a cabin for overnighting. I'm moving to SW Florida in early 2019 so I will be using the boat a lot more. Although the Express...

I have twin Yamaha 2010 150hp Engines (4 Stroke) and was out running my boat today for about 3 hours. Outbound trip (90 minutes) no problems. Return trip, I was running at 3900 RPMs (my normal cruise speed) and everything was fine for most of the trip. With about 5 minutes to go I slowed the...

I have a 2010 Tournament (now Freedom) 275 that I purchased new and which now has about 860 hours on the boat. It's in great shape for its age but for the fact that the rocker switches on the helm (for the bilge pumps, nav lights, accessory switches, etc.) are no longer legible as the white...

I have a 2010 Tournament 275 (now called Freedom 275) and absolutely love the boat. The only thing I'm disappointed with is that the factory sound system (Kenwood) is pretty weak. It sounds fine when the boat is at anchor, but when the boat is under way it really could use some more "oomph"...

I have a 2010 Grady White Tournament 275 (now called the Freedom 275) 27' Dual Console that has Kenwood KMR700U factory stereo with two speakers in the bow area and two speakers amidship. The challenge that I have is that when running the boat, I can't really hear the stereo very well because...

I just got to see the new Teleflex Optimus 360 system in action My 21 year old son and I just came back from three days at the Miami boat show and by far the best thing that we saw was the new Teleflex Optimus 360 system that brings joystick docking to outboard powered boats (which we got to go...

Here are some worthwhile recent additions to my Tournament 275 (or should I now say Freedom 275?): Seadek Helm Pad (makes standing for hours much more comfortable): Seadek passenger side helm pad (because my 19 year-old son never lets me drive MY boat when he's aboard): Tundra cooler...

I have a 2010 Tournament 275 with twin 150's which was launched April 15th of this year and now have 100 hours on the boat. Since the day I took delivery, the fuel gauge is off by a significant amount and I'm trying to decide whether to leave it or have Grady pay to fix it while the boat is...

I have a 2010 Tournament 275 with twin Yamaha 150 4-Strokes that was launched for the first time in April this year. I now have 65 hours on the motors and the starboard engine leaks a small amount of oil into the splashwell when the engine is tilted up (to port) at the mooring. It's definitely...

Just curious what people consider a reasonable tip when a dock hand helps you tie up at a dock or when you come in for gas? Often times I'll tie up at a marina for a short time and the dock hand from the marina will be at the slip and take a line or two? Likewise when I come into the gas dock...

Just curious how many Grady owners carry a Sea Anchor. It seems like a very worthwhile piece of safety equipment - although the good ones are expensive (true sea anchors versus drift socks). If you really carry what they say you should have in terms of size of sea anchor, rode, swivels, etc. -...

I took delivery of my 2010 Grady White Tournament 275 with Twin Yamaha 150's on April 15th this year (and of course absolutely love the boat!!!). My question to other Grady White owners is how many of you carry spare props on the boat while boating? The reason I ask is that with my prior boat...

After purchasing my 2010 Tournament 275 the beginning of last August (and never splashing it last year), I waited 255 days (not that anyone is counting) to finally take delivery of my boat yesterday. It was a perfect day (other than 10-20 knot winds) with temperatures in the high 50's low 60's...

Next month I will be launching a new 2010 Grady White Tournament 275 that comes with factory installed Bennett trim tabs. Do I need zincs on the trim tabs? Should I have the trim tabs painted? I had Bennett trim tabs installed on my last boat (a 2006 Seaswirl Striper 2010DC) and the dealer...

I'm finally at the point where I need to make a decision on electronics for my new boat and keep tossing a coin between the Garmin 4212 and Garmin 5212. Although the 6212 and 7212 look great, they really don't seem to be worth the extra money (especially since I can reinvest it in additional...

I took a factory tour last Friday (January 8th) and was so impressed with the factory, the people, the boats, and everything about Grady White. I knew GW was a great company when I made the decision last Fall to purchase my 2010 Tournament 275 (which I took ownership of last September but have...

I will be keeping my Tournament 275 in the water from April through October so I have to apply bottom paint. The problem is that with my last boat I had a lighter blue bottom paint and the scumline (waterline) looked horrible because of all the crud that accumulated (my mooring is on a...
