    Beware of this case of credit card fraud.

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

    Google Ads

    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...

    06 232 motor bracket plug

    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...

    Beware of this case of credit card fraud.

    A few things to look for, or at least things that I look for, when on a website I've not used before would be whether they have the basics like phone numbers, addresses, email addresses and so forth for contact information. Most scam websites won't have things like that because they obviously...

    gulfstream 2005/repower/ NEW Suzuki DF300AP/warrany till 2031/ For Sale

    Depends on what kind of promotions are being run at the time of purchase, as well as I imagine you can likely pay an additional cost to extend the warranty out a few more years as well. Looking on the Suzuki website, they've actually got a 7 year warranty promotion going on right now until the...

    $62,500... it's been posted pretty aggressively on Craigslist for the last several months now, as well as on BoatTrader... https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2006-grady-white-gulfstream-232-10078764/

    Battery replacement

    Per the Interstate website, the 27M-XHD is only $10 more per battery than the 24M-XHD. If you have the room, which it seems as though you do since you already have 27's in there, I don't see how it could hurt to go with the slightly bigger sized battery, especially with it only being $10 more a...

    Battery replacement

    Per the Interstate website, it looks like the CCA of the two are the same at 800. I appears as though the biggest difference between the two, other than the size, would be that the 27M-XHD has a higher reserve capacity at 182 vs the 24M-XHD which is only 135. Not sure if that'll make any sort of...

    A Must Watch For GW Owners

    The ride quality on that boat looks like it would be brutal, having essentially a flat "bow", or something like a landing craft would have. My back hurts just looking at the picture and imagining being out in something like that on the open ocean haha.

    Battery replacement

    I replaced the batteries on my 2004 Grady White 228 Seafarer back in the late fall/early winter of 2023. I called up my local Grady White dealership and they recommended that I just buy new batteries of the same size, style and so forth that I currently had. My boat had/has two starting/cranking...

    Autopilot, and especially one on a super rare I/O optioned Grady White at that! haha :D

    A Must Watch For GW Owners

    lol because it’s more AI crap, just like this picture that is minus a bow and has the wake shooting out the front of the boat, as opposed to behind it

    Repower a 2001 22 Seafarer

    I leave my boat on a mooring buoy in front of my beach cabin on Whidbey Island between from roughly late June until early October. I typically don't fill the boat up to much more than 1/2-2/3 of a tank, as I literally row out to the boat from my cabin, climb on, start her up and then start...

    General question on buying a Grady, i am looking on Long Island NY

    For the 208 Adventure that you're looking at/referring to, the hull switched over to a SeaV2 supposedly in 1993, or at least per the below linked thread on this website, and the 228 Seafarer switched over in 1992. I think what the guy might be referring to is a couple different things, but most...

    Repower a 2001 22 Seafarer

    I get it... the 4 stroke motors are quite nice and considerably less noisy/smoky than the older 2 stroke motors. About 15 years ago, my uncle bought a mid 1990's Bayliner Trophy with twin 2 stroke Mercury 175's on it, of which they were quite noisy and smoked considerably. He sold that boat and...

    A Must Watch For GW Owners

    Agreed. With a mere 2k subscribers and most of his videos having less than a couple thousand views a piece, I imagine he relies on clickbait, AI and other false information to get more viewers/subscribers.

    Repower a 2001 22 Seafarer

    Why repower if the current motor only has 700 hours on her? I'd think a properly maintained HPDI motor would last at least 2k hours without much of an issue at all. Per the brochure located on the Grady White website, attached below, your hull is rated up to 250 hp. I've got a 2004 Grady White...

    2000 Grady White 208 Adventure for sale $12k - not mine

    I would think at least $2k-$3k. If I recall correctly, when I first bought my boat almost 5 years ago now, there was a guy on eBay that had the OEM bow pulpit for my boat, of which I believe he was asking just under $2k and that was just for the pulpit itself. No railings included, no...

    1995 Sailfish 272 Repower. Suzuki 200 or 225??

    Where are you getting your quotes from then? I don't see how the Mercury's could be $10k+ more than the prices on the Suzuki's you quoted earlier after install, especially when the outboards are essentially the same cost? I mean, unless the other place you're quoting is including free...
