    Transom Mount Bait Station

    Not mine but It inspired me. Maybe it will help you too. Look at Miller Marine too.

    Transom Mount Bait Station

    I bet thats custom. I'm building one for my Seafarer right now. Built the "rigging station" out of starboard. That part is done. But the legs are going to be aluminum and my father is welding now. I've been slowing him down by buying the wrong aluminum. Will post pics when done. it's going to...

    Garmin 741XS?

    Yup and if you don't need to have radar or NEMA 2000 on both you units you could save money and get a Garmin 7" Echomap unit. It looks the same but has charts/and or sonar but doen't do Radar or NEMA network (last I checked). I have the 741xs too. then a 7" Garmin Striker next to it. But the...

    How To Remove Gas End of Season

    That's a cool system. Maybe you can help your buddys out too and get their fuel into your truck as a "service". https://amzn.to/3kk1oxA I made a DIY system from Amazon with this cheap $13 electric pump, was just like that. Added a cheap inline filter, screwed to a board and pumped into cans...

    Re powering an old Grady .

    Think you scared him away guys. He didn't say he wanted to plane out. Maybe he just wants to cruise at hull speed. Very doable. Yamaha just announced it's making electric motors. Don't know the details but I think they are for going slow. BTW a 27' boat just completed the 1200 mile inside...

    2000/2017 228 Seafarer (updated)

    Got more interior pics of stereo system? Love the setup. Amazing you fit it all in. Does everything work on the boat?

    Anyone mount a big amplifier in a Grady?

    I've got my small digital 4 channel in my electronics box currently. About the size of a single DIN car stereo and mounted to the top of the box that houses it. But the amp I want to get is 20" long! So long and skinny. Anyone have pics of where they mounted a big(ish) amp or amps on their Grady...

    restoration pics.

    Awesome work. Fiberglass projects interest me. Love how you're using foam to make complex shapes. So what kind of plastic do you cover the foam with. Would it protect it from Polyester resin or just epoxy?

    Grady Storage

    Only posting to tell you my experience over 15 years of boat ownership (6 boats). Not saying you should do this. I'm in Washington State, we have a pretty temperate but damp climate. I've usually stored my tank at whatever level it was on the last outing. I know not ideal but I've checked the...

    Well he's very skilled in design as well because the lines match perfectly.

    What are your Top 3 favorite boat mods or additions you've made?

    Love that pilothouse. What’s the story behind that? Make it yourself or a local guy? Fingers crossed he made a mold! :)

    both batteries relocated to port

    Group 24 has been ok so far but I’ve notice the downriggers slow down after a long fishing weekend with stereo/amp loud. I only use15 lb balls. Im sure bigger is better. All my battery wires are custom lengths so if I go to a bigger battery for house loads I’ll have to make more.

    208 Bilge Pump

    As others have said, sure you could put one in but, you'd need to drill a bigger hole in the side of your boat. My rear is 2000 gph and it shoots water 8' sideways when on.

    Who do you have your boat insured through?

    I use progressive but haven't had any experience with claims or other insurers. They do allow a "stated value" which I use. It's at $35k from 2019 I'd need to pay $45k to get the same boat out here if I could find one.

    Boat envy, thinking about a new Marlin 300, have questions.

    Buy a used Marlin that already has a slip in your area. 2 problems solved for the right boat. There's a smaller market for used 30' boats vs trailable 22' boats. You're going to get a great deal over what they cost new! Assuming you can find one. Now the fun part, looking! I envy you, keep us...
