Yep, bummer.

That is very gracious of you. Hope to take you up on it someday my friend.

Well done! Indeed I don't think there are too many of those around.

Jerry, Is that an open invitation for a future visit so you can show me the finer points of Australia??? Oddly enough, I was supposed to visit a good friend in Auckland this past March, but cancelled the trip because of what's going on. So I am due there are soon as it is safe. Stay healthy~...

Leeccoll is your buddy Lee ;) The main tank is 92 gallons, maybe the manual was including the aux tank, but that doesn't jive either. Good to see you aggressively working on her! Lee

My father served in WWII, he was a Sargent in army and served most of his time in Italy in the "Mussolini Trench". I have spent my adult life traveling to remote places, flown over 3 million miles starting with Pan Am. I have lived a mostly privileged life by most standards by grace of God...

I'll agree too that it's a matter of too much fuel. I filled up my single tank once as you did, and excess gas was dripping down the side of my hull from my vent. I try to listen as it is filling and nearly full, and then stop conservatively, so maybe I am 90-95% full. Good enough for me~

I really believe that is your best option. You got some great sage advice from other Grady owners here. Better post us some pictures when you take possession of her!

Hey GB, Yours is newer than mine, but the insulation on the bottom is identical to mine from the factory, so I am assuming it was original that way. I can't imagine it won't come out by tilting here and there without going under the knife. One of the members that has your setup can give you...

That's what my buddy used that made me a new set of cushions. He loves it!

Of course, You know your situation best. Some others have converted that space as well. I have an empty rear coffin on my 228, but never converted. Could be a good project for ya, if you go forward, keep us updated! Lee

I suppose if it were me, answer would be how far offshore I would go and how frequently I go out. As far as safety, it is always a comfort if you are out there and know you have the extra tank in case there is a remote chance of your main tank being unable to supply fuel to the twin 150's-like...

Just reading the updates, correct the addition of a 9.9hp kicker will not be a good addition for Koakine88's trolling needs. My apologies for the earlier suggestion, I was assuming a low trolling speed. Another point, you don't want to be trolling at the top end of the throttle all the time...

Great job thinking outside the box Drifter! Where are the fish pics??? Glad you are able to get out and enjoy~

Bad news gets worse, that vent window (glass), gasket and operating arm cost me $520 to bring it back to factory specs. Good news... I am still vertical :confused:

What are fenders?? :rolleyes:

You have to measure your panel. They have an online e-panel builder that walks you through the process. Was fun for me to see what it would look like before I placed my order.

If you add more detail to the subject line it will be helpful. More people that might look at what you need will surface. Just a suggestion, and not meaning to be offensive :cool: If it is the teak bi fold doors, yeah hard to find as seasick mentioned. And they will likely be beat up. There is...

What a PIA to charge up batteries all the time, and in a real need for a back up motor to get you back to safety, it won't get you there. Fine for light duty, excellent for staying in one spot without having to anchor.

Put 4 bags of sand in the cuddy cabin on the port side. Band aid fix but it works fine and rides much better into waves BUT nothing compared to the new Grady hulls.
