    Grady Seafarer 228 - Accessories

    I'd say it depends on what the OP currently has, if anything at all, how much he wants to spend and how much it would cost for two swim steps with ladders on them. This one is the entire swim platform for $700...

    WTB: Seafarer 226/228

    I just realized this one has also been repowered and is probably the winner of the bunch. Also, depending where on the west coast you are, it's going to be significantly closer than going back east. https://www.boats.com/power-boats/2006-grady-white-228-seafarer-9262461/

    WTB: Seafarer 226/228

    Did you see the one up here in the Seattle area at Jacobsen's Marine on Boat Trader? There's 12 currently on BT as of now, though I wouldn't exactly say any of them are a steal of a deal. Most are going to be in that early 2000's vintage that'll have the potential for the Yamaha dry exhaust...

    New Freedom 275 Owner

    Per the GW website... your boat with twin F150's on it will top out at over 46 mph. I'd say you're more than good on hp, unless you want a boat that will do over 50 mph. Which imo, that wouldn't make a ton of sense ordering a Grady White if that's your only goal. Scroll halfway down and then...

    Grady Seafarer 228 - Accessories

    One thing to note is that not all boats came standard with a swim platform. I'm not sure about the more recent years, but on the early 2000's boats the swim platform was actually an option. I'd say 9 out of 10 that I see have it, but there are a few out there that don't have one. I personally...

    Atlantic Towers - Tower in a Box

    Lol! No way... almost like we've been telling you this all along. At least we'll all be able to sleep better at night now :D

    Stupid Question??

    I have Progressive insurance for my home, cars, boat, etc.... of which I believe my boat policy is around $600 for the year and I've not considered removing it in the event of a tree falling and hitting it or something doing some sort of damage. Even if Progressive did do a 6 months thing, I'm...

    Atlantic Towers - Tower in a Box

    Good luck and hopefully it works out well for you. I'm thinking that after you're all done that you are going to be closer to $4k in regard to time and money spent trying to make it work. In regard to the Grady specific setup, it's hard to see in the picture you posted but they're actually...

    Atlantic Towers - Tower in a Box

    Unless you're quite literally just looking for a hardtop to keep you out of the elements like the rain and the sun, etc... I think you're going to find out the hard way and very quickly that you get what you pay for. At $2,800 I'm thinking it's a too good to be true type of situation and I'm...

    Atlantic Towers - Tower in a Box

    Oh Lawd here we go again. If you go to their website, there is a gallery section of a bunch of their hardtops on Grady White boats. The first couple of pictures are of their top on a 1988 GW 204 Overnighter, which should give you a general idea as to what it would look like on your boat. There...

    First boat

    I'd save $45k, spend $5k-$6k of that money saved on a trailer, get this boat instead and call it a day. Just my opinions, of course. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2016-grady-white-225-freedom-9282004/

    Looking to buy a Sailfish or Marlin - Washington State

    They're crazy, as a simple Google search could've cleared that up. " You must have a CDL to operate: Any single vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or more. Any single vehicle with a GVWR less than 26,000 pounds which is designed, used, or maintained to transport...

    Looking to buy a Sailfish or Marlin - Washington State

    I'm assuming they'll probably charge him at least $3k-$4k to do the drive. Of which I imagine the drive could be done for half of that or less if he were to do it himself. That's what I'd do anyway because as mentioned above, you could fly down on a Friday afternoon or evening, leave Saturday...

    Looking to buy a Sailfish or Marlin - Washington State

    No problem. The hull number is stamped onto the outside rear or stern of the vessel as well, so you should be able to see it just from walking behind the vessel. Usually it's located on I believe the starboard side of the vessel, or at least I believe that's where it is at on my boat. On Google...

    Looking to buy a Sailfish or Marlin - Washington State

    No problem. I've never heard of anyone having an issue for personal use and towing under 20k lbs. I think where you start to have an issue or a gray area is when you're doing it for a profit and I think it's over like 23k or 26k lbs that you're hauling. Which you'd be well short of that at only...

    Towing Capacity

    There's a big difference between whether something can be done vs whether something should be done. Can a pickup truck with a 10k lb tow rating likely pull over 15k lbs of total weight? It depends, but yeah probably, especially if it's a newer vehicle with fewer miles on it, and you're driving a...

    Looking to buy a Sailfish or Marlin - Washington State

    I'm going to assume with there not being any mention of hours on the ad, as well as the length of time it's been for sale and the price reduction that it's because there are substantial amounts of hours on the motors.
