    Cracked Hull - 28 Release

    Wow! Hornedfrog. Those pix are strong. I know the folks at GW very well and I know they are fair and honest and very much want to hear from their customers whether you are the original owner or not. I am sure you will be able to negotiate a fair deal with whatever the problem is. Good luck!

    Cracked Hull - 28 Release

    So far, all we have decided between us is that we don't know what his problem is, if any at all, and that GW s/b contacted if a problem exists outside of mainstream repairs and maintenance. So, hornedfrog, if you're still listening, maybe we have all guessed in a helpful way. Over & out.

    Cracked Hull - 28 Release

    I think seasick's reply is spot on. Rust from the inside is not possible, I don't believe. If I owned the boat, I would call GW's Vice President of Engineering, David Neese @ 252.752.2111, and ask him how to evaluate the problem. GW's area sales rep may be able to gather enough data for...

    Wilmington NC Gatherings?

    You are absolutely correct! Has been for some time now. However, Atlantic Marine at Wrightsville Beach is the new GW dealer and is interested in sponsoring the Cape Fear Grady Club.

    Cape Fear Grady Club

    One of the first clubs started several years ago, but has been dormant for about 4 years. The original sponsor was great, but, sadly, passed away and the business closed. The new Grady-White dealer in Wrightsville Beach for the Cape Fear area of NC is Atlantic Marine. Some of the former...
