    268 w/ 250 ox66

    I have been shopping 268s and the 248s pretty hard the last few months and I usually see them outfitted with twin 200s on the 268 and twin 150s or 225-250 single on the 248s.

    Grady hardtop view

    I was wondering how the tower on the hardtops for Gradys obstructs the view of the driver. I have been on some boats with hard tops and the tower bars really made the view annoying.

    248 voyager scuppers

    When on our sea trial yesterday we had 5 people on the boat, when we where all on the scuppers where about 1-2" below the water line which did push some water up into the boat. When everyone was out of the boat at dock the scuppers where above the water line. Is this the norm?

    Looking at purchasing a 248 in the next day or so. It comes with a canvas top so no rod holders besides the 4 that come standard. I also have two downriggers that I will need to install. I have looked at a few options but am open to any ideas, thanks!
