Likewise... although I must admit, I thought you were already on my ignore list... I guess I was mistaken. Oh well, onward and upward.

Holy rambling Batman...

I'm honestly quite surprised that Yamaha discontinued the F350 years ago and is just now coming out with a replacement motor for it. Their lineup goes from an F300 straight to a F425, and especially since Mercury, Suzuki and now even Honda offer a 350 hp outboard. I had to double check on Honda...

I think the biggest issue would be whether spending $20k on upgrades is going to make the boat worth that additional $20k, or more, which is one of the biggest reasons why people make upgrades to their boat, and that is resale value. I personally don't think that if you put let's say $20k into...

I think my biggest question would be the "why" to this whole equation? Why upgrade what you've got, is it in dire need of upgrades, are you just wanting to spend some money, etc? If you're considering a bigger boat, I'd definitely take a hard look at the bigger models, and even the 307 Freedom...

Not sure why they don't have a 1983, but they do have a 1984, though it's not model specific. https://gradywhite.blob.core.windows.net/media/22281/1984-owners.pdf

It's been listed on Boat Trader for the last several months, which I think is indicative of the asking price. Either way, good luck with the sale. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2003-grady-white-seafarer-228-8935956/

I'm not sure to be honest. Here's a picture of a 2007 Suzuki 250 outboard and the stickers or decals are definitely different, but the design of the cowling itself to me looks the same or very similar. Not sure if he repainted it and added new decals, which is definitely possible. The boat...

My thought process on the matter would be... I think the ad on the east coast is probably legitimate as it's a good, or better than average price for an east coast boat. For the purposes of comparison, I paid $26.5k for my 2004 GW 228 Seafarer back in October of 2021 and think I got a really...

Not mine, just saw it on Craigslist. Looks like a good boat and for a very good price. https://hiltonhead.craigslist.org/boa/d/bluffton-1998-grady-white-228g-seafarer/7681193949.html

The Grady White 26' Tigercat has a maximum horsepower rating of 400 hp, so you won't have an issue in regards to the maximum horsepower and a quick Google search shows a couple of guys that have put F200's or greater on their boats. If you're referring to a GW 263 Chase, then that boat has a...

I have no experience with either boat, though I've heard the guys with their 232 Gulfstream's absolutely love them. I stepped on one at my local GW dealer here in Edmonds called Jacobsen's Marine and realized it's a much bigger boat than what I needed. I fish just north of you up in the Seattle...

Depending on the year, the dash bezel/layout looks completely different to me. Even the two dash bezel styles that are similar, aren't. On the older 225 Tournament models, you've got a squared off or rectangular dash/dash bezel. On the newer models, you've got two rows of five switches, all of...

I know this question is directed towards another member, that being said I always like to give another option when mounting downriggers and their bases. I went with a local company called Burnewiin and used their downrigger mounts/base plates for my Scotty brand downriggers. I think the look is...

The only other option that I see in the Seattle area is this boat on Craigslist, which I'm sure you've already seen before, though it's a 1989 and looks to be in a bit rougher shape. https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/boa/d/bothell-23-grady-white-232-gulfstream/7679839909.html

Depending on what your budget is, I'd seriously be looking at something like this. Of which I I were in your shoes, I'd buy it, buy a trailer for it and then either sell the motor you've currently got and put that money towards the boat, or sell the motor that comes with the boat and put it...

How much did they charge you to ship the boat from coast to coast, if you don't mind my asking?

Welcome aboard... good looking boat you've got there.

A $1M house to me seems rather absurd... of which I don't even know what word I'd use to describe a $1M boat.

Looks great!
