    Wanted to buy - Seafarer 228

    Well... the OP hasn't been back in over 2 months, I'm wondering if they moved on...

    2001 Grady White 265 Express repower questions.

    As mentioned, I'd go with Suzuki's that have the digital throttles as opposed to mechanical, especially since I can't imagine they're that much more money. Depending on where you're at and the availability... I've seen Suzuki's for $7k-8k+ less per motor compared to Yamaha, and they come with a...

    Checked out a Freedom 415 yesterday.... still don't get it

    Must be an east coast/California thing as almost every boat out here is a walkaround style and I honestly think the biggest Grady White that I've seen is at most a 300 Marlin or 330 Express? The same goes for something like the 456 Canyon, as both that and the 415 Freedom are pretty looking...

    WTB…looking for a good running, low hour 2002-200? Yamaha F225 TXRB port engine.

    I'd check Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Offer Up, THT and similar websites. Here's a Yamaha F225 on Craigslist with only 832 hours, not sure if it would work for you or not but might be worth a look...

    What's it worth???

    My initial gut feeling is telling me $15k-$20k... of which I believe you said the previous owner was asking $13k for the boat when you were looking at potentially buying it? There's a 1984 with a hardtop on Boat Trader right now that's been on there for quite sometime, it's been repowered with a...

    Time for an electronic upgrade

    What size of screen(s) are you looking for? I'm guessing maybe twin 12" or a single 16" screen? I'm a big Garmin fan, have tried Lowrance and Furuno on other people's boats but wasn't a fan of them, the ease and simplicity of Garmin makes them my favorite option. In regard to radar, I've heard...

    Joining the list of Grady owners who have to repower or give it away…

    A couple of thoughts here... first of all would be something that obviously you don't have to tell the group, but how much money do you have into the boat currently? How much will it cost to repower? You mentioned $50k, I imagine it'll be at least that, if not maybe even $55k-$60k+ depending on...

    1988 Tournament 192

    The above comment appears to be a scam as his profile shows that he owns a Sailfish but is parting out a 192 Tournament? He's also replied to two other ads of different models asking if anyone has parts, etc.

    F/S 1995 Grady White Tournament *sold*

    Really hard to tell by only seeing pictures of the outside of the boat and not seeing the interior portions at all since it's hidden with the cover. My initial gut reaction would be in the $14k-$15k range depending on the actual condition of the boat, what's included, hours on the motor if...

    WTB 208 Adventure / 226 Seafarer

    I saw this boat when looking on Craigslist the other day, though it does have a bow pulpit to it. I don't have any affiliation with the boat. https://longisland.craigslist.org/boa/d/cutchogue-grady-white-226/7858239150.html

    Garmin GPSmap 7612 xsv Needed

    Why pay $3k for the 7612xsv, which is an outdated unit, when you can get a refurbished 8612xsv for $250 less? Looks like it's a direct from Garmin refurbished unit that also comes with the manufacturers warranty. ;) https://gaugesaver.com/product/garmin-8612xsv-refurbished/

    Garmin GPSmap 7612 xsv Needed

    There's a few on eBay for around the $2k range. Or you can get a refurbished 8612xsv for a few hundred bucks more...
