Per the Grady White website/brochures it looks like the 247 Advance was discontinued in 2002 and then was renamed as the 257 Advance in 2003. The weight shows the same on both models at 3,500 lbs dry and without motors on them, at least up until 2005. Then it looks like in 2006 it got some...

Years ago I used to work as a 911 call taker and police dispatcher for the county that I live in, of which we would get people calling in saying they'd be scammed all the time. One of the biggest things that I do, as well as recommend that others do in the event they think they're being scammed...

My heartburn is acting up just hearing about all of the fast food wrappers. Glad to hear that they did the trek quickly as well as safely.

So, just to clarify... you're saying pull the engine, fiberglass in the current motor well so it's an enclosed transom and then add a transom bracket to it? I would think strictly from a cost perspective alone that it wouldn't be worth it, as I imagine that it would likely cost $10k+ to do what...

I just made a quick phone call to Pompanette and spoke to the sale tech... the switch is for reclining the seat/backrest. You have to be sitting in the chair and have some pressure on the backrest while doing so in order for it to operate, if it's functional and working on your particular...

2 days from the east coast to California? Damn... they must've been haulin'. I've done Maryland to Seattle in 3 days, which was 3,009 miles. But that was also doing 1,000+ miles a day. That's crazy!

If it's from Greenville, I imagine you bought a boat or something else from Grady White themselves? Of which if that's the case, I imagine they likely have multiple different shippers in the area that they could recommend. If for some reason they don't, as mentioned you could always try U-Ship...

I did a Google image search and they're calling it a flush-mount paddle latch... "This item is a flush-mount paddle latch, commonly used on boats, RVs, or utility trailers to secure hatches, compartments, or entry doors. Function: Features a low-profile design that sits flush with the surface...

Facebook, and YouTube as well, have had this as an ongoing issue quite a bit lately. I'm big into classic cars, so someone will post something like "Hey check out this 1965 mustang fastback", when it's clearly a 1968 mustang. I think they do it to get views, messages and attention to their...

Have you sat down on the seat while flipping the lever/button side to side? My initial thought was something to do with the comfort of the seat, like a lumbar support or something similar?

I inquired on something similar a few years back I believe it was, to see if we could have an "open discussion" section of the forum to where it wasn't just about Grady White's, boats or other boat related things only. We could talk about things like sports, locations for fishing or vacationing...

Same.... that and the other thread on repowering, to where the OP hasn't been back now in a week. Oh well, onward and upward...

The number of AI/fake posts and so forth on there has become absurd to the point where it's essentially become almost unusable.

Another thing that people need to consider is that even if you've donated and are signed out, you'll still see the ads until you log back in, if I'm not mistaken? I usually leave my laptop logged in at home so that I don't see the ads, but if I'm at work on my phone, yeah I still need to log in...

Seems odd that Grady White wouldn't carry the plug, as the 232 Gulfstream wasn't discontinued until what, mid/late last year? I'd go to your local marine shop with the current plug, have them measure it for you and get the same replacement. I'd also maybe consider getting something that's...
