A man after my own heart. I'm a dollars and cents kind of guy, to where unless it's your "forever boat", one that you plan on holding onto for the next 10-15+ years and can justify the additional costs of a repower, it's likely a lot cheaper to sell your current boat and buy a boat that's...

Found the manufacturer name/part number and so forth through a different website called RNR Marine, that just so happened to have a PDF version of the Grady White parts list from 2004, linked below. They've also got 2007 and 2013 parts lists as well, if you haven't already downloaded them...

This topic comes up quite frequently and it seems as though the top 3 most popular brands that people repower with, in no particular order, would be Yamaha, Suzuki and Mercury. The most popular choice seems to be Yamaha, though they're also likely going to be the most expensive as well as have...

Per the owner's manual, it appears that the single pink wire is for the main fuel tank sender, whereas the pink/white wire is for the auxiliary fuel sender. Which I imagine is what you're trying to determine as to where the auxiliary tank sending wire is? It would also make sense to me that it...

As mentioned in the other thread… “I'm assuming you're referring to the windows on the sides of the cabin? If so, they should be Moonlight Portlight brand windows along with their screens. I'd measure out the size of your windows, then call up one of the below linked companies, tell them what...

I'm assuming you're referring to the windows on the sides of the cabin? If so, they should be Moonlight Portlight brand windows along with their screens. I'd measure out the size of your windows, then call up one of the below linked companies, tell them what you've got, see what they recommend...

Doing a quick search on Boat Trader, I'd say maybe around $25k-$30k? Idk, it's difficult to determine the actual condition based off of 4 pictures, especially with the potential issues of the port side motor, etc. There's currently a 1996 GW 268 Islander on Boat Trader with a newer Mercury 4...

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...
