I’m going to tell you the same thing Grady white is going to tell you - the older Grady’s we’re not designed to have 4 stroke motors mounted on their transoms. there were already balance problems - the reason for weight bags in the bow, the bracket boats. You’re not telling if you’ve got a...

Haven’t fished for a while - but…. Saturday 12/10,that changed ! another quick trip and another quick limit, for me and miss Elizabeth Miss Elizabeth, with a nice gag

I use frozen half gallon and gallon jugs of water, little sea water and some kosher salt, in the fish box - it keeps the fish nice and cold

Few weeks ago, out grouper fishing with a buddy of mine … ☠️☠️☠️☠️

The insurance company will total the boat - due to needed repairs costing more than the insured values the boat is a giant project - that motor will not last long, if you get it running… The wiring is done, wire will wick moisture, causing it to corrode inside the insulation. Insurance...

Way to deflect …

That “sounds” good but…. clearly, that transom core is going to be wet. attempting to pull a motor off , grind that back and glass over the top cap is a pretty skilled job - you have those skills ? I do … attempting to match that gel will be quite a challenge . nothing sticks to wet wood -...

only repair on that, cut it apart and recore it with composite ….

That thing looks like a giant hunk of crap…run !

that’s wishful thinking ….there’s a reason those motors aren’t in production any longer , not because they were good

I would expect quite a few things - 1’easy thing to check quickly is the fuel fill hose. Get a flashlight and look under the gunnel at it. Where I’m going with this is , the age of that boat - other systems will come into play,such as the fuel system and the electrical system . As a...

I believe that number is quite “inflated “ Those motors are no longer in production. Not much of a market for 2 stroke motors - I’d there was, they’d still be in production …

Survey - it’s only as good as the surveyor.I highly suggest you find a qualified individual , you want references !

Tapped bad - that’s indicative of delamination, core dry rotted. Not a good thing. That indeed, means a transom recore. stern drive boats are problems waiting to happen - the transom plate for the drive needs to be cut out, via the correct template - the core is left bare, where the steering...

If that area continues to crack - it’s more than a gelcoat crack. Cracks come from movement - something is flexing in the transom.Being in the water has nothing to do with this.

A small ball peen hammer is your friend : tap the transom with that hammer and listen - Good sound is a sharp distinct tone Dull thud Is trouble that boat is kind of a double shot of trouble Transom and an ETEC motor - ETEC motors are know for trouble. Injector problems - NOT due to fuel...

Run ! that’s not good - I see a boat being cut apart to have the transom recored…

Looks like something that has been draining out of that thru hull - I don’t see a crack Zoom in on the thru hull Exactly what is a deflection ? the plastic thru hulls - this is an old boat…

I’m looking at the pictures : What I see is normal things, you’re gonna see on an old boat. Deflection ? What is a deflection ? crack at the thru hull ? I see what appears to be a stain from whatever has been draining by that thru hull. I see a cheap original plastic thru hull that needs to be...

Try watching it here fish weather hit this one wrong - first time I was 42 out in the gulf - picked up about 22 nm , steady 15/20 northeast wind , as you can see in the video , it was a head sea. A little further in, it got really special - wind gusts to 40mph and a few 7ft head seas. Boat...
