Pics of Grady without stripes?
- Thread starter Finest Kind
- Start date
just removed the stripes from my 265 this year. they came right off with a heat gun, basically they unpeeled in large ssections once the glue heated up. I did think she looked a little naked at first, but after she was cleaned up and waxed, I think it gives a cleaner look. sorry forgot to take pic while at the yard.
Removed the stripes from my 240 Offshore over the winter. Makes it look like a whole different boat. Like drbatts said, after she was buffed and waxed, made the hull look a lot cleaner. Try to get a pic soon.
Check out Baert Marine on the Internet. He has a new 360 without the stripes. Someone liked it because it just sold this week.

Seanik, That's a nice looking boat. Doesn't look yellow though.
I think the stripes are a Grady trademark and should be on...

Just take it off!
I think the boat looks better without it, AND besides getting the new stripes on perfectly will be a MAJOR pain in the azz.
Yes, the original gel coat that was under the stripes is a light tan as compared to the weathered white on the rest of the hull. If you look REAL CLOSE on the attached pic (and if you look REAL CLOSE at the boat in person) you MIGHT see it.
Nothing to be concerned about.
Trolled past the Finest Kind a few times this past Sunday at the Shrewsberry Rocks.
It looked pretty good.

Thank you! I remember seeing at least 2 Marlins in the area that day, What is the name of the boat were you on, and how did you do that day?
It was slow for me, only 1 Striper (kept for dinner) and 4 Bluefish (released)
Posted up here on Great Grady's Photo Section are some pics of my boat that were taken that day:

And while my friend Capt Niff was taking those pics of me on my boat, I took a few of him as we were trolling side by side.
His "Audrey Sue", is a really nice 1987 Trophy Pro with a pair of 2006 200 HP HPDI yammis:
Niff sez he likes the look of my stripe-less Grady and might also be taking off his stripes next season...

Hey Finest Kind.
I was on my 300 Marlin Defiant.
All we got were very big blue fish. A double header on an umbrella rig was a lot of fun.
