...into very shallow water, you can raise the Yamaha and steer with the tiller. When when Honda is 'up' it clears the water and a pad on its hood rests on inner corner of port aft locker. This is also a Spirit 175 and after removing port battery, it floats level with the 80 Lb. Honda...

I'm thinking of putting a kicker motor on my Grady White Spirit 175. I'm looking at the 8 HP Nissan 4 stroke, 2 Cyl. That motor weighs 88 lbs and should be enough to push this 17.5 foot boat for trolling. Has anyone mounted a kicker motor on a boat this size. Any suggestions on a good mount...

I'm in the process of replacing the thru hulls on my Spirit 175 and I have to remove the rod box. I noticed a white flexible sealer on the rod boxes that is not a good seal. Any suggestions on what to use when I replace the rod box? Thanks

I thought I saw a post on this not too long ago but can't seem to get the search engine to find it. I have a 1995 Spirit and today I found that one of the brass thru hulls that goes through the transom to drain water from near the outboard is cracked. I did not see how this could be replaced...

E-10 Fuel and Varnish I am living this hell right now. I purchased a Spirit 175 with a Mercury 100. It had sat for about 2 year with 1/4 tank of fuel. The previous owner said he treated it but 2 years is a LONG time. I drained the fuel (through the existing filter and feeder line) and later...

i've spend the last few days mulling this trip over in my mind. to describe this trip, things like, "some days you're the dog, some days you're the tree," or "another day in the barrell," or "the more i learn the more i realize how little i know" have all come to mind. i had to remind myself...

I just purchased a 1995 Grady White Spirit with a 100 HP Mercury 2+2 Outboard. It had not been run for about 2 years so I dropped it at a marina to get the carbs checked. He found an electrical problem and it is not firing consistently on the #3 cylinder. Anyone out there have any experience...

Let's keep it civil, folks. I always enjoy BobP's comments, even those I disagree with. While the site is for GW enthusiasts, there is certainly room for *constructive* criticism. I for one offered critique of the 305 when it was released with many others joining in an enjoyable discussion...

Griff, I previously owned the 17 spirit and later owned an 18 dauntless. For me, I would go with the Grady everytime. In my opinion, the whaler does not compare in workmanship to the Grady. I was really disappointed in the whaler after everything that I had read about them. I guess the...

Rob, I have owned both the 17 spirit and the 18 sportsman. Actually, there is quite a bit of difference in the two. The 18 sportsman has the variable deadrise sea V2 hull and the 17 spirit did not. The weight difference was also significant, a little over 600lbs (2150 on the 18 without the...

Any opinions on which is a better boat for mix of fishing(mostly) and family boating. The Dauntless (Deep V)is a dual console with a little room to fish on bow. Plenty of seating but not sure if its good to fish. Thanks for any help I know they are very different and that is what makes my...

It was because our Spirit 175 held its value so well that we were able to get into an Adventure 208. And becasue the 208 held its value so well we could do the 258. So far, after 16 years of Grady ownership, I don't think our cost of ownership has been higher than if we had started with a more...

Sorry for the dumb question but is this 17 or 18 foot boat. I have seen it advertised both ways. Thanks

GW 175 Spirit Seat I have a 1991 Spirit 175 The seats are 18.5" wide and 17.5" deep They are 20" tall and fore/aft slider is about 5" There are snap on leatherette cushions seat and back. At the top, above the cushion, there is a nice hand hold and that would be worthwhile to have...

I just purchased a 1995 Spirit 175. The boat was left at a marina for years and someone stole the seats and but left the pedestals. I was wondering if anyone has the dimensions for the original seats or could suggest a good seat. The boat will be used in the Chesapeake Bay area and it is my...

Steve: Congrats on the 1995 Spirit and post some photos when you have her! Rob

Rock solid little boat....I got one for my 13 year old last fall...it's a 1993 with an 89 110 on it...we spent the winter refitting it with new thru hulls, hoses, etc....Runs like a champ....GREAT little 17 footer and rides better than anything its' size I've ever been on...BLOWS AWAY a BW...

A former Spirit owner here. We had a 1992 - our first Grady. We had great times on that boat. Even took her to Bimini, twice. She ran okay in up to a 2' chop. Anything more than that and you have to slow to plowing speed. I did not have trim tabs, but in my experiences since, I think they would...

I'm looking at purchasing a Grady White Spirit 175 and was looking at feedback on using in the Chesapeake Bay. I plan to use in the Potomac and around Solomon's Island but would like to venture out a bit in the bay for fishing. Any Spirit owners out there?
