    WTB: Grady 232

    I'd go with this one... it's been for sale for awhile and has had a recent price reduction. Also, it comes with twins and a trailer. Or there's the second one posted with a single 300 outboard on it, but it doesn't come with a trailer and is essentially the same price, as well as is older...

    Remote Spot and Aft Lights - Good or Bad idea?

    I've got the stock ones from Grady White on my boat from the factory and while I like the look of them, they rarely if ever get used. I've got a beach cabin where I put my boat out on a mooring buoy during the summer for a few months. Of which I'll row out to the boat in my dinghy or kayak and...

    Parts Vu?

    I'm not trying to be negative or sound like a jerk or anything, that being said did you even look at the number of complaints that they have on the BBB website? If you scroll halfway down the page or so or and on the right hand side you'll see 12 complaints in 3 years... 12. Averaging only 4...

    Parts Vu?

    I've never done a return through them before, but I did buy a cowling cover for my F225 with them and didn't have any issues at all. As mentioned, I don't have any experience with doing a return, but their reviews online are definitely above average or better. It could just be the person that...

    Repower 265 Express

    Wait... the black mechanical motors were $2k more than the white FBW motors? Seems like it would be the other way around, but if that is correct I'd go with the white FBW and save the $2k. Even if the white FBW motors were $2k more, I think I'd definitely still go that route as an extra $2k when...

    Just out of curiosity... do you remember the difference in price between the two?

    Cockpit Rocket Launchers on Express 330

    I'd do what SkunkBoat suggested earlier and get some combination cupholder/rod holders to where you can use them for either application you want. https://www.boatoutfitters.com/rod-and-cup-combo-thirty-degree?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIssWijOipgwMVHM3CBB1LTAaDEAQYAyABEgJJxvD_BwE#216=753

    4 Blade SS props for 06 Gulfstream w/ twin 150s - Recommendations

    Grady White has some performance data on their website with a 232 Gulfstream and twin F150's on it, though the test does appear to have been done with 3 bladed props vs 4 blade. Click on the link, scroll halfway down, click on "performance", then select twin F150's for the motors and compare...

    Repower 265 Express

    Any reasoning for going with the mechanical controls vs the digital or drive by wire ones? Was there a significant price difference or wait time?

    Cockpit Rocket Launchers on Express 330

    I agree with SkunkBoat, and that was what I was getting above, is that how many rods are you planning on fishing at any one given period of time? Unless you're planning on fishing over 6-7 rods, I'd think your current setup would be sufficient, or you could add another couple of gunwale mounted...

    Repower 265 Express

    A few things to note here would be that per the brochure, a 2003 GW 265 Express hull is rated for 500 hp. I've seen a few forum members on here with twin 200's on their boats and with positive things to say about them. Though, you could always add 250's if you wanted to, and I don't think you'd...

    Cockpit Rocket Launchers on Express 330

    How many rods will you be fishing at any given period of time? Per the GW website, it says a 330 Express should have 4 rocket tubes attached to the hardtop and then 3 in the cockpit area. Is that the same for your boat? I think I'd personally just consider adding a few more rod holders to each...

    Does anyone have the new SHARROW propellers on their Grady white 330

    Eh, there's likely no issue with others, and especially myself, not being able to afford it as $5k isn't really a ton of money compared to what most people likely have into their boats at this point. I personally just look at it, as well as any other purchase in regards of... is it worth $5k to...

    Cockpit Rocket Launchers on Express 330

    I'm personally not a fan of having anything in the center of the deck and taking up that much space. If I were you, I'd get something like this where you can add 7 rods, have them be out of the way and still have the setup look quite nice. Though I will say, I've always loved the look of the...

    Pop-out gunwale step

    I think your best bet would be to use the Euro transom and step off the boat that way onto the dock, if it's level. Or, if you wanted to dock on the passenger or port side of the boat, you could always step up on the passenger seat to get over the gunwale. That's one of the many joys of having a...

    Does anyone have the new SHARROW propellers on their Grady white 330

    There are $100-$150 props for sale on Amazon for different makes and models of 200-250 hp outboards... not that I'd personally want to go that cheap, but if one wanted to then they sure could. Regardless if it's a $50-$100 prop, or your claim of being between $400 and $900... you're still...

    Rod holders

    There are wires going underneath the top portion of the gunwale, I believe on both sides, but for sure the starboard side of the boat, at least for me and my particular application. It really wasn't anything more than moving the wires out of the way by hand, though you might need to snip a few...

    Rod holders

    If you're looking for the Grady White factory or stock rod holders, they're fairly readily available online, though they used to be on Amazon and I couldn't find them on there just now after a very quick search. There is a person that has them on eBay though for $120 a piece, which I've attached...

    Does anyone have the new SHARROW propellers on their Grady white 330

    I'd imagine when they run the "test boat" with a standard prop that it probably has one on there that is nowhere near being the correct size/pitch, that way they can market even better fuel economy and performance numbers with the Sharrow prop.
