    Replacement Grill for 330 Stern corner

    I am not 100% sure but I'm 95% sure this is a fit, oddly I only had one in my amazon history so I must have bought the second somewhere else. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009TPXCW/ I painted mine with bright aluminum spray paint and they look great a year later. My recollection is that...

    GW 330 Express TV set up

    I'd have to double-check specs, but I mounted a lightweight 32" Toshiba smart TV from best buy on the wall to the head, above the two net holders, used a $12 ultra low profile square mount from amazon to mount it. Worked great, I am sure I replied to a thread here with some details a couple of...

    2002 Express 330 with 900HP! (Not Mine)

    Wow, that boat has had a lot of custom work done to it. On repowering an older 330, there were a number of smaller changes along the way, and it's not just the transom. In my early 330, there is even a factory 'fix' to reinforce the midships stringers. Remember that in the early 2000s they...

    Bilge High Water Alarm?

    I just wired a rule mechanical float switch (fused) attached to a marine horn mounted inside the hull. Much simpler, easy to test, and no worries about someone accidentally shutting it off. If I HAVE to shut it off, I can just pull the fuse.

    Window trim seal - update

    For my Grady 330, I ordered the Zoro D shaped weatherstripping referenced above - part # G4338135. This was adhesive backed, which I did NOT need - I left the paper strip on, which I may have some regrets about later, but it stuffed into the channel perfectly and looks like it should seal well...

    Switch Panel Refurb

    While I understand your goal, unless Grady sold the switch panel you are looking for with the model # you need already painted on (which is possible, call your dealer) then I don't think you are going to find an exact match. On the other hand, there are any number of materials you can have it...

    330s or other walkarounds with painted hulls - let's see your pics!

    This is one of those difficult questions that nobody likes answering. I've had two 30' boats painted, and ballpark paid $5-7k for hullsides alone. Both jobs came out excellent, both shops were experienced at spraying awlcraft but were ironically both body shops that had branched out to boat...

    ‘04 330 EXPRESS WRAP

    This color looks remarkably different in different lighting. The shot I posted in the other thread https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/330s-or-other-walkarounds-with-painted-hulls-lets-see-your-pics.34028/#post-238764 shows it as much lighter. Oddly both pics are accurate, sometimes it looks...

    330s or other walkarounds with painted hulls - let's see your pics!

    I forgot to follow up on my own thread - I went with awlcraft stars and strips blue, and the boat came out fantastic. This paint is really interesting and I THINK a near match to the same color grady is offering factory now - sometimes it looks light blue, sometimes it looks darker, at sunset...

    330 or 360 express?

    I'm surprised you say the 360 is significantly more expensive to run - since I average about 1 MPG in my 330, the 360 was that much worse?? Now I'm terrified. LOL.

    330 Express cockpit deck drains

    I just did mine on my 2002 a couple months ago. People said they could get in through an access plate on the inside of the transom wing. I put an 8" pie plate there and I could just barely brush the inside of the thru-hull fittings with my fingertips. So now I have a pie plate that goes...

    Need photo of 2008 or newer 330

    I'm not recommending this ladder or this vendor (just stumbled across in a quick google search) but there ARE options out there with "Extended" hinges. https://www.marinedepotdirect.com/stainless-steel-fold-out-with-grab-rail-over-platform-telescoping-ladder.html

    ‘04 330 EXPRESS WRAP

    Just picking my 2002 up from the paint shop this afternoon. Boat was already bottom painted and would have been prohibitively expensive to remove/redo. I've used vivid white bottom paint before and it's a much cheaper alternative to keep the unpainted look for a lift kept boat. I was back and...

    ‘04 330 EXPRESS WRAP

    The "new" grady vents are actual stainless, from some custom fabrication company. But yeah. I'm with you on the price. Not that they aren't fine pieces of trim - but way too expensive considering what they do. My thru-hulls were pretty bad as well, major pitting and brass showing through...

    ‘04 330 EXPRESS WRAP

    Looks great - hopefully getting my 330 back from paint (stars and stripes blue) next week. I'll be about double what you've got in the wrap, but I'm lucky in that boat painting is one of those rare things that's still affordable here in South Florida. I'm also struggling with the vents. I'm...

    Replacing cockpit floor drains

    I did the same - but unfortunately I could barely fit my hand inside. There was no way I was replacing hoses through that hole. I finally decided I only had two choices, either remove the swim platform or cut the side of the boat. I went through the side, replaced all 3 thru hulls (two drains...

    330 Express scuppers

    A year later I still haven't managed to replace my starboard side drain. Today I decided to cut an access hole in the swim step "wing." Nope. I can now touch the generator exhaust, but definitely can't reach the thru-hulls. On the plus side, I have gotten almost every OTHER thru-hull out as...

    330s or other walkarounds with painted hulls - let's see your pics!

    I should be clear that I do know what painted boats look like. :) Grady has been using a fairly unique set of colors with its modern lineup, just trying to get some better perspective on them on the walkarounds. I don't see them (GW walkarounds with hull colors) that often locally. My gel is...

    Protection Package with new boat..

    Yamaha makes great engines. Despite that, $2500 (for the pair??) for 7 years of warranty coverage sounds like a good deal to me. If there is any chance of you selling the boat (privately) within those 7 years, that warranty will pay for itself. If you're intending to keep it the whole 7 years...

    Not a grady question but you guys know a bunch so

    I have a Grady 330 and a buddy has a WC 320 EC. I don't have any particular brand affinity, although I'm very happy with my GW. They are both great boats. The boats are fairly similar. While we haven't spent a LOT of time on each other's boats, we both look at the other one and can point out...
