I've got a pretty massive dome and can be limited to certain sized sunglasses... of which a few years back I ended up going with some Oakley Double Edge Prism Black Polarized sunglasses and really like them. At the time, they were around $125 and I haven't had any complaints with them so far...

There’s a big difference, literally, between the OP’s boat having a dry weight of at least 1,200 lbs more than yours, if not even closer to over 2k lbs more than yours, especially with regards to vehicles and towing capacities. We’ll need him to come back and clarify which model of boat he has...

You’re comparing your boat with a dry weight of only 4k lbs to the OP’s boat which has a dry weight of anywhere between 5,125 lbs on up to over 6k lbs? Your boat is going to be at least 1,200-2,000 lbs lighter than the OP’s in terms of just the dry weight alone and I’ll bet the total weight of...

I've got a Garmin 943xsv as well as the GT 56UHD transducer, of which I really enjoy both. The majority of what I do is trolling for salmon as well as crabbing and occasionally halibut fishing and/or shrimping. I don't have radar, but as mentioned above, if I were to add it then I'd likely go...

It's in the "Tips, Modifications and Electronics" section of the forum, which I admittedly don't check very often and am sure that I miss a good deal of information over there. Not sure why we need the two separate sections that are essentially the same thing or with very similar topics, but I...

Looks like a stock pilothouse from a mid 2010's GW 330 Express... https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/bod/d/edmonds-2017-grady-white-express/7764271812.html https://ca.boats.com/power-boats/2014-grady-white-330-express-9289359/...

In the grand scheme of things... I'm very much grateful that there wasn't any harm done other than some pride and a bit of exhaustion after working a 24 hour shift, not having a nap afterwards and then tending to a boat for over an hour at a busy/somewhat rough boat launch. All in all, the...

I've got a 2004 Grady White 228 Seafarer that came with what sounds like the same setup as the OP's, in that it had/has dual Group 24 starting batteries. Last fall, I went out to start the boat on the mooring buoy the very last day of the fishing season and it wouldn't start. I'd purchased the...

They've got them on Amazon for $48 a piece...

There's simply no way that he's going to be at only 500 lbs for fuel/gear. Per the brochure, a 25' Sailfish has either a 150 gallon fuel tank or a 202 gallon fuel tank, depending on which model of a 25' Sailfish the OP has. A gallon of fuel is 6 lbs per gallon, of which at 150 gallons that's...

It really depends on the year and model of the Ram that you have in that a quick Google search will have the numbers all over the place from 6,450 lbs on up to over 12k lbs. My tow rig is a 2010 Toyota Tundra with an 11k+ lb tow rating and except for steep hills, it's very easy to tow my boat...

For clarification purposes... the OP's profile says Seattle on it, of which as others have mentioned I've got a 228 Seafarer that I also love. Though, mine is up at my beach cabin on Whidbey Island so it's a little bit of a trek along with a ferry boat ride to get there but I'd also be up for...

It seems like there are always lessons to be learned in life, but especially when boating. When launching my boat on Thursday, I learned to never take the boat off the trailer without starting it up first. I’d had this rule before but assumed, and did so incorrectly, that the boat would start...

Definitely an older thread but the topic is still very much relevant. If the information above is correct on an F150 doing 40 mph, I’d think that would be all you’d need, especially if running light the majority of the time. If you do run heavier a 200-225 outboard might be the better option, or...

There are multiple for sale on BT or other online sites. There’s this one and a 2008 that’s about $10k less but it doesn’t mention or show a trailer included in that other listing. Neither of these boats are mine, just passing them along...

I’ve oftentimes wondered why boat manufacturers don’t put the batteries in a better location. My thought process on the matter is that where they are currently seems the most illogical spot in that it’s the furthest rearward and essentially the lowest part of the boat. So… God forbid that the...

Another thing to consider would be the possibility of moving your batteries either into the cabin or further forward. I don't know what your particular setup is, but I’ve got two Interstate 24M-XHD batteries in the stern of my boat, each one weighing in at 45 lbs a piece. Which two of them would...

I'm guessing that unless the windows were replaced, that they're going to be the ones from factory. Of which, I believe you'll have a standard MoonLite brand fixed 92 series for the asymmetric one, and then an oval 91 series for the other. Both of which appear to use the same gasket, which can...

I'm not sure if this is the one or not, but I saw it on BT and looks to be potentially the same boat, or very similar. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2007-grady-white-express-305-9423322/

Coastal is incorrect about the dry weight of the boat itself and the figure that he quoted is 1,300 lbs heavier than what it really is. As mentioned above, the dry weight of a 1984 Grady White 255 Sailfish is 4,075 lbs, not "5,300 lbs" like it is for the 252 Sailfish... even though it's actually...
