Hello Grady owners. New member. Always liked Gradys for fishing and fun and finally bought my own.
1987 tournament 19.
Very well maintained with a 1999 repower of a Merc EFI 200. Prop markings are illegible unfortunately so I’ll be doing some prop swapping on my way to a stainless motivator.

This came out of an estate. Dirty from sitting. Missing stuff as the previous owner left us too early and his family has more concerns than what goes with the boat. Rightly so and not complaining. My biggest regret is straddling my wife with cleaning up my stuff when I leave.

Have owned aluminum and fast fiberglass but I can’t get over this classic look. Excited to get it wet. I’m in Minnesota and we still have “feet” of ice on my favorite ponds.

Been thru the site long before buying and look forward to being here.

Welcome, as a current 87 Grady owner I can relate, mine has been a labor of love!
 
Looks great McCann, Grady 19’s are an awesome boat for their size, lots of jealous onlookers when towing to and fro the water. Mine is also a cream puff, most don’t realize it’s age when asked.
