    New Trash Dispenser

    At the boat show this weekend and some guy was selling these. I was thinking this would be great if I had a good place to mount. Bought it and fits perfect behind my helm chair. This thing is well made and most of the time should be large enough. Just freeing up that much more deck space makes...

    Storage Netting

    Hey any of you guys find a better alternative for these nets? They are off of a 2011 205 Freedom and the material is pure garbage. When I got the boat almost three years ago they were shot, found the vendor and ordered another set and they lasted a year. These were not cheap so took a picture...

    Freedom Bow Storage Gets Wet

    Thanks, I thought of that also. From what I can tell I would need something that compresses next to nothing and still creates a seal. I believe on the newer Freedoms they redesigned these to be watertight.

    Freedom Bow Storage Gets Wet

    You would think so but I can see how this happens with this design. Yes if the boat was level and listing slightly inboard maybe, but that's not always the case.

    Freedom Bow Storage Gets Wet

    What happens, the channel overflows and seeps between the top lip and cover. I'm not talking a deluge but enough to wet the contents where they need to dry to keep from molding. The lid fits tight so it would have to be a very thin gasket. Just wondering has anyone resolved this issue.

    Freedom Bow Storage Gets Wet

    Has anyone had any luck waterproofing the port bow storage compartment? If it rains or I wash my boat it gets wet inside and have to take everything out for it to dry. It is a PIA to have to do this every time I use it prior to putting it under cover.

    Any Gradys with a head compartment and 5,000# towing?

    Looks to me you don't own a large enough vehicle to pull a boat with a large enough head compartment.

    Grady White 192 Tournament

    If it is a nice rig and a good deal I wouldn't let that stop you. That HP should be adequate based on the 150 being more than enough on a 192.

    205 Tournament

    This is my 2011. Couldn't be happier with a boat in this size range.

    Rust stains

    Whether this is normal or not I would not be happy with this. Like others said you may be able to keep this under control but the corrosion underneath the base of the rail will only get worse and continue to bleed through. My 2011 doesn't even have the slightest hint of rust. Being this is an...

    The Bahamas might never be the same after Dorian!

    For Abaco and Grand Bahama for sure.

    Boat launched - failed... heh

    Remember, always rule out the pee-hole being clogged by a dirt dawber. Happened to me last week, luckily I was able to loosen it up enough to clear it and head out.

    Rust stains

    If it was my one year old boat, I would be contacting the dealer.

    Best boat you never owned?

    OH... misread the title.

    Best boat you never owned?

    My current boat, a 205 Freedom. I just feel so lucky to have it. To me it is plenty big enough and couldn't ask for a better boat in that size range.

    Looking of Purchasing My First Grady White

    Take a look at the 275 Freedom. You mentioned wife, kids, Bahamas so you a least need something this size.

    Trailering a 330 express

    1/2 tons today just describes the class of truck by size. It used to be based on cargo carrying capacity (payload) and not vehicle weight. Many of today's F-150s have over 2000 lbs. of payload thus making it a 1-ton vehicle by description. Anyway, that is way too much boat for a half ton...

    Will your Grady float if capsized or swamped?

    Funny I was thinking the same thing by keeping up with this on THT. There is a lot of gray area and discussion about flotation for the 2001 Robalos. Anyway was wondering if anyone has any real world knowledge on how the Grady's would handle this.

    Bimini Top Frame Part

    Thanks, knew I could get an answer here. Guess I don't need them after all. They where broke when I bought the boat, thought they may be for laying down the top on the gunwhales. I have enough of the single spacers for the few times I use the curtains.

    Bimini Top Frame Part

    Does anyone know where I can get this part? Not sure what it is even called. Thanks
