I did this job in the past on my GW using the stock aluminum. I realized at the time I may end up having to do it again and used 3m 4200. This time, I'm looking to use vinyl or 316 stainless. I called a Grady dealer and they said they sell the vinyl to do it by the foot. I think he said it was...

Anyone know who makes these for Grady when they are part of a build?

I see that this model is listed at 3500 hull weight? Seems light compared to the 222, 230, and some other models? I think I can do the math with adding twin outboards (150's), fuel, t-top, gear, trailer weight, etc. Guessing we are pulling about 7K worth of weight with a moderate setup...

I am slowly deciding on my next boat and after owning a 180, I am certain my next boat will be a Grady White and sticking with a center console. I have been searching for later model 209 but now thinking a 222 might save me upgrading again in 4-5 years and be able to handle bigger water...

I'm looking to add a Megaware keel guard to my Grady White 180. Size and color suggestions? I hear almond is a near match? I don't want black and think white would stand out just us much due to Gradys being more off-white in tone. Thanks for you help.

This could also read Seafarer 226/228 vs either of those as well. Have a 180 (love it) and will be soon hunting for a bigger Grady. Sold on Grady White boats though after looking at and riding in so many other brands. There were 2 other brands I liked but way out of my price range and...

Interested in this detail for the 209. I noticed that in 2011 they changed the console quite a bit as well as the configuration up front. Was this also the year they glassed the transom? I want to move up from my 180 to a 22-23' boat but honestly think the layout of the 209 is better than most...

Currently have a 180 and use it for fishing. Style of fishing definatley uses the advantage of a center console. However, I have always wanted a 208 or even a 226/228 and have a side thought of one of these being my next boat. I have fished out of many walkarounds but owning one is quite...

Hi, I have a GW 180 and currently an ez loader roller trailer. Roller repair has put me on the path of questioning spending any money here or going for a bunk conversion. With this trailer seems like it would be a simple conversion with 2 9' pt 4x4 or 4x6 wrapped in marine carpeting. These would...

My rear seat tops pop open when trailing. Seeing this in the mirror and knowing how violently they come back down sends shivers down my spine. I have either installed the seat cushion while traveling or a small piece of duct tape. Duct tape leaving residue behind on hot days and after a 1.5 hour...

Inexpensive yet effective reusable frame for your Grady White 180 winter cover. I just wanted to share how I did this with PVC. Pitch on it is steep enough that the snow has been just rolling off. We have gotten a few snow storms now with almost 2 feet of snow and this cover is holding up very...

I noticed there are no latches on these lids over the batteries. After going through a somewhat painful process with Grady and Wise to get the right seat cushions (kudos to Grady for making it right though) I find that I don't use the seats all the time. Only when my son comes with me. With the...

Hoping a 180 owner can chime in on this. Just received a new set of these aft seats from Grady. Supposed to be for a 2004 model however, in looking at the tags they say 180 98 on them. They are factory made seats and Grady had to have them made by the same company that originally made them for...

Looking at a 180. It has low hours / use but not sure the upkeep looks this way. 250 hours on a 150 HPDI motor, bottom paint 1/2 fallen off, motor paint has some chips, and probably the thing that stands out in my mind is a 10-12 inch long bruise on the front keel likely from beaching the boat...

I may be making a long drive to look at a 1999 Grady White Tournament 192 for sale. Owner seems very honest and shared with me that the survey he had done 4 years ago came up with a soft spot in the floor between the captains and passenger seats. He said that the marina he keeps it at has been...

OK, looked at my potentially new to me 2007 GW 208 this weekend. Condition could be better for the year and never been on saltwater but there are a few things. Cosmetic stuff and things like broken zippers and such not a huge deal. However, the skeg on the motor is bent. No damage on the motor...

I am close to making an offer on a boat and going to be getting a surveyor to go through the boat. It is a 2000 GW 208 with a 150 2stroke yamaha. I looked the boat over and it was in great shape topside and the motor looked clean for the age. There was an hour meter on the boat but looked...

Wanted a 208 for the longest time, mostly for the protection for the wife and 8 year old son. If it were just myself and friends, center console - hands down. I also want to trailer my boat. I like to move around a lot and fish in a lot of different water bodies. The Tournament 192 now seems...

Curious to know from current owners of this model if they find it to be the crossover between a walkaround and a center console? I have been looking at the 208 and came close to buying one recently (outboard had low comp). Since I have also noticed the Tournament series to be a lighter tow with...

Looking for any 208 owners that tow with an Explorer or similar sized SUV. I have an 05 with V8 and tow package. Tow rating is up to 7200#. Pulling the trigger soon on a used 208 I hope to not have to upgrade the tow vehicle yet. Most places are going to be within 50 miles from me.
