I think you’d be ok with the 6,300 lb weight capacity as well. And yes, save the $1k, buy some pole guides and install them yourself. That would put you at $9,360 and you’re still saving almost $4k as opposed to the other trailer. Ultimately a trailer that’s a bit overkill is never a terrible...

Defiance Marine is a LoadRite dealer and it appears that they’re actually the only one in the Seattle area, or at least it looks that way per the map on the dealer finder section of their website.

Not much more to be said. I bought my boat back in early October of 2021 in Maryland from a Grady White dealership. They had the boat in on consignment and actually replaced the motor with a used one they had. They said they dropped the lower unit and inspected for the dry exhaust corrosion...

Did you call up Defiance Marine and ask about the one that I linked? I’d go that route if it’s only $7,500 and then another $1k for the EOH brake upgrade. $8,500 is going to likely be the cheapest trailer you’ll find out here, and it’s right here in your own backyard as opposed to having it...

From what I've read on a quick Google search... British Columbia Trailer Brake Requirements Gross trailer weight of 1,400 kg (3,080 Ibs) or less – Brakes are required if the trailer and its load weigh more than 50% of the licensed weight of the vehicle towing it. Gross trailer weight of 1,401...

Great looking boat, though I'm admittedly a bit biased lol. Yeah... the Venture trailers are definitely on the cheaper side, but even if you did buy one for say $6k and had to put another $1k-$2k into upgrades, you're still saving $5k-$6k total. The Load Rite though I think would be a decent...

Here's a brand new Load Rite aluminum dual axle trailer at Defiance Marine over in Bremerton for $7,500. Probably not going to be as nice as the one you specced out, but is almost $6k less and is in stock. Just an example of shopping around a bit, and I also know that Venture Trailers make a...

Good lord almighty... $13k? I live just north of Seattle and have a beach cabin on Whidbey Island, of which I knew that things were a bit more expensive out here but $13k for a 22' boat trailer is just insane. Is your current trailer a roller or bunk trailer? Depending on which, I believe I've...

I agree with Wspitler's reply, though I would definitely test that theory first to make sure that is actually correct in your particular situation as your boat is now 21 years old and one of the previous owners could very well have changed something up along the way. Either way, congratulations...

Sorry to hear you were scammed, for future reference one of the things that I always do is check the persons's "Joined date" of when they joined the forum. Of which if they just joined recently and are offering items for sale or "knows of someone" that has some items for sale, that tends to set...

Of course! Good luck

And a 300 Marlin... https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2002-grady-white-marlin-300-8844369/

Here's two Grady White 282 Sailfish boats for sale... https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2005-grady-white-282-sailfish-8942444/ https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2007-grady-white-sailfish-282-8322366/

And/or this site looks to have the spare knobs available, dependent upon which model you've got. I'd give them a call though if your current solution isn't working for ya. https://bsi-rigging.com/product/portlights-spare-parts/

If you zoom in on the picture you'll see a small sticker that says "Moonlight CE", of which if you do a Google search on them, the below company pops up and has a spreadsheet for parts and so forth and yours looks to be similar to the one on page 6. I'd try giving them a call and see if they...

I keep telling myself that I'm going to do this, even though my lights do currently work fine as is, but I've still not done so considering that I've never taken my boat out after it's gotten dark outside. Still a good idea, especially in the case of an emergency, but I've been told to be back...

Considering there’s been 4 posts throughout this entire year in that section… I can’t imagine it gets much of any traffic at all over there, and if I'm being honest I didn't even know that it was a separate section. I also can't imagine that myself posting two threads of fishing info/pictures...

Went out fishing the last three days and did quite well, the first day I got my limits in about 90 minutes and caught a 22" humpy. Yesterday, my aunt and uncle came into town and we hooked into probably close to a 15 lb king salmon. This morning we got a few more humpies, my uncle got one that...

I probably would've just gotten a ski rope that has the two attachment points to the boat and then the one for the ski handle that are like $20 on Amazon, either that or added a ski pylon and called it a day. But if that's the route that you want to go then by all means good luck with it...

Even at 37 I would agree. My previous boat was a 21' Arima and it didn't have the toe rails, so when you were leaning over to pick up a crab pot or net a fish, it was a bit unnerving at times. With the toe rails it definitely gives you much better balance and knowing that you won't fall in, I'm...
