It looks like the original was likely an Attwood 13-103 cockpit light, where a Google search didn't pull anything up with that model number, of which it would make me assume it's long since been discontinued or there's been a change of model number or two since then. They appear to still make...

I think you'll be just fine with a brand new boat that only has 70 hours on the motors. If you're that worried about it, you could always have Jacobsen's Marine in Edmonds winterize the boat for you. If you bought the boat locally, that's likely the Grady White dealership that you got it from...

What are the condition/age of the batteries? I bought my boat back in October of 2021, ran the boat for two seasons just fine and then at the end of the 2023 season, I had to buy two brand new Interstate brand batteries when I took my boat out of the water, as the old ones wouldn't start up the...

Email Seafarer228G and let him know you've donated to the site. When I did, it was a matter of maybe a couple hours at most before the ads went bye bye.

Just confirmed, I've actually got a PDF version of the 2004 Grady White Parts List on my computer that I'll see if I can upload, but for the live well it's the first part number of 10-296. Which per Google says is the above mentioned Ameritool brand and it says it's a 30 lb shock per the GW...

Welcome aboard... the fishing started off kind of slow for us this year in MA 9 on the southern part of Whidbey Island and then picked up like crazy throughout September. Had at least a half dozen kings, one of which was a very nice fish at just under 34" long. Then the humpies and silvers came...

There’s a 1991 on Boat Trader right now with a single 300 Etec and a trailer for $24k. Not sure what the actual condition of it is, if it needs transom work or anything else as well, etc. That being said, a transom replacement can cost upwards of $10k or more. So maybe anywhere from $12k-$20k...

I imagine they’re likely the same between a 2004 and a 2007 but don’t hold me to that. The different shocks are on page 130 of the catalog and appear as though the shock is a 10-296, 10-661 or a 10-675 depending on which one you need. If you do a google search for “Grady white shock 10-296” it...

Just make sure you do your research/homework on the topic at hand, as unfortunately another member had an issue when transporting his boat with a shipping company last year. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/shiply-is-horrible.37676/

Welcome aboard and congrats on the new to you boat, is it the boat that was listed by Bayside Marine? Here's a post on the same topic from several months ago, of which if you donate $10 to the site and then message Seafarer228G, then they will remove the ads from your account. I've got a 228...

That’s the same boat I linked in the above comment last week.

Congratulations on the new to you boat... maybe I missed this but how long has the boat been sitting for? Was there water sitting in the bilge for an extended amount of time? It looks like there's some rust coming out of the garboard drain plug area, of which I'd jack up the boat and make sure...

The "biggest problems" I've found are oftentimes resolved with the most basic of solutions, especially when regarding electrical issues. More often than not, cleaning or tightening up connections or just doing the basics are all that's needed.

Yep...

I admittedly know very little about the Dual Console style of boats as I have a 228 Seafarer, which is a walkaround style of cabin. That being said, I've heard nothing but great things about the Pursuit brand of boats and wouldn't exclude them at all. I think it's going to come down to several...
