    Water absorption in swim platform

    Hi-looks like they didn’t do a great job sealing the bolts for the swim ladder on my swim platform and some water got in there. I had a 4x20” stainless backing plate fabricated for strength, but was wondering if anyone had any recommendations about filling any potentially rotten wood inside...

    Best $280 in labor I’ve spent in a long time

    Long over due maintenance on scupper hoses. Updated the deck drains to stainless while they were cutting out the old hoses. Probably could have done it myself, but I’m sure it would have turned in a PITA. Overall, happy with the outcome.

    2003 Grady 228 Windlass Suggestions?

    I'm still loving my new to me grady 228, and this site has been great (especially the tips on maneuvering in tight quarters with the Grady drive)! My Grady had everything I want / need except a raw water wash down + windlass. I added the raw water wash down before the season, and I looking at...
