    Purcahsing a 1998 G-W Adventrue 20'

    1997 is yes I believe the year that they went away from using standard marine grade plywood and instead went to a product called Greenwood XL.The transom's of these boats can still have the issue though depending on the condition, how much water intrusion there is and so forth... so it's not a...

    2007 Gulfstream 232 Yamaha F250 stalled while trolling and cruising

    As mentioned... bubbles in the fuel would make me think air is getting in through the fuel lines. My uncle's boat had a similar issue years ago where the fuel lines had pinhole leaks in them and would stall the engines as well. Replacing the fuel lines was the golden ticket and ended up...

    Puget Sound salmon fishing season

    Nice! Which area are you fishing in? The biggest one we got this year was just under 34" and probably 17-18 lbs or so.

    Have had a fantastic season of salmon fishing here in the Puget Sound this summer so far, just figured I'd share...

    Opinions Please on Boat Purchase

    When you say the boat as repaired, was it just the crack or was the entire transom repaired/replaced? Depending on what all was done and how much damage occurred, that could make for some pretty costly issues down the road. Also, what do you mean by every option possible? As in it comes with a...

    Opinions Please on Boat Purchase

    I know nothing about the boat other than what you mentioned and hope that it isn't another forum member's boat as I don't wish to "bash" their listing. That being said, I imagine the reason why it's been for sale for awhile now is because of the price. The one good thing about the boat is that...

    Fisherman 222 CC Performance

    Sounds like you've got the wrong propeller on there then, or something else is quite off. It's not exactly an apples to apples comparison but I've got a 2004 Grady White 228 Seafarer with a 2004 Yamaha F225 on it, of which the performance bulletin says she'll do a top speed of 44.6 mph @ 6,100...

    Grady Marlin

    They added Google ads back several months ago and yes they were quite infuriating to where it would bog down/take up the entirety of the site/screen. That being said, if you donate to the site, the admins will turn off the ads, which I believe the minimum to donate is $10...

    Advice on 1992 GW Seaferer 22

    I purchased my first boat back in July of 2017, it's a brand called Arima and it was a 21' Sea Ranger. The boats are made out here in the Seattle area but they have absolutely absurd prices out here. If you can find them elsewhere throughout the country though, you can usually find a steal of a...

    Advice on 1992 GW Seaferer 22

    I was constantly looking on all of the boat sales websites like BoatTrader, Boats.com, YachtWorld, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and so forth. I bought my boat in person then rented a U-Haul truck and trailered the boat myself back the 3,009 miles to Seattle. This is the third time I’d done a...

    Advice on 1992 GW Seaferer 22

    I'd make sure it's the SeaV2 hull as like you said... 1992 was the year they swapped over from the SeaV1 to the SeaV2 hull. Being that it's a January 1992 model year, I'd definitely double check that first. The other thing you'll want to check is the floorboards, the stern and the rest of the...

    First time Grady White owner - Seafarer 228.

    Definitely reassuring having a brand new trailer, especially when doing a cross country trek. The rims on the trailer look nice and are very similar looking to those on the truck, that being said they are slightly different.

    2000 228 Seafare ?

    The boat is 25 years old now and as stated before, the weight of your Yamaha F300 is less than the Yamaha F225 that I have on my boat currently. You could always reach out to Grady White or your local GW dealership if you're really that worried about it, but I'd just got for it, especially if...

    Best Used SUV's to Tow 5k# and Seats Fold Flat For Surfboards?

    There's multiple Honda Pilot's in the general area within your budget that have a clean title, under 100k miles, etc. There's also a couple Toyota Highlander's nearby that are only a couple thousand more, one is a 2018 with 87k miles on it located in Brockton for $21k.
