208 no longer appears on the GW website. Walkaround Cabins overview page adjusted to reference only 2 models, so I assume it's intentional. Hopefully announcement for a 208/228 replacement coming?

I'm sure the last thing anyone needs here is one more opinion from someone with no experience with that boat, but here's one anyway. To me, the value difference between mid-life 250s and nearly new F300s dwarfs any impact of the additional options and slightly lower hull age. If these are the...

Interesting, almost identical to what I'm seeing with the small diagonal corner cracks. I too don't feel any real give in the engine or detectable softness in the transom.. To try to buy some more time, I may try to Dremel out the cracks and fill in with MarineTex or similar, just to prevent...

I would also be curious to see pics of cracks when you get a chance. I own a '94 226 that has just the slightest diagonal crack at the corner of the aluminum cap so I'm sure I'm headed in the same direction. Also, off topic but how do you like that swim ladder? Enough clearance for the...

Is the 232 the only boat built on the wider 23 foot platform? I'd imagine that a company that operates the way Grady does would view that as inefficient. Maybe the 232 will go away and be replaced by a 23' based on the 235/236 hull, which would serve as a replacement for both the 228 and 232 at...

May be a very stupid comment from someone who's only ever owned single screw boats, but could one do something like outer engines in forward/ middle engine in reverse? Would the extended time in reverse working against the other two engines be damaging?

Just to complicate things further, I have to do my obligatory plug for the 226 (which is basically the 228 with the "208 style" transom instead of the bracket). In this case however I do think it could be a good solution, as you get the extra fishing deck space you might need, but hopefully you...

Very nice deal if it all checks out. Even today I suspect you may get the occasional seller who's viewing the pricing through the lens of what they paid for the boat in the pre-covid environment, as opposed to surveying the market in a detailed way. Seemed to happen that way for me at least...

They don't look bad when taken down to the original material and refinished just sayin'...

Seems like Safe Harbor is scooping up lots of them in the Northeast. I know marinas are pretty skinny margin endeavors in general. While it's not exactly charming to see them subject to consolidation, I'd rather see my local marina get sold to someone who can operate it profitably as a marina...

Was a thread on this not too long ago: https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/sideshift-bow-thruster-to-a-grady.34101/#post-232637

Sunday was interesting by the Throgs Neck. Marked consistently but only managed to pull out one slot fish and didn't really see anyone else get much. Water was loaded with debris. Possible the new moon had the fish somewhat turned off.

I know as recently as early last week people were doing well on bass in the Eastchester Bay area and maybe Littleneck Bay too. I went out Sunday to try to look around but the East wind cranked up like mad and pretty much stopped me at the end of the harbor. Fish might've slid a little deeper...

Very very different animal than the OP's situation. You have a considerably newer boat with a more desirable style of power. If you repowered I'm sure you wouldn't get 100 cents on the dollar back when you go to sell, but the recovery could be high enough that it would be a worthwhile cost for...

Can't really reference my 28 year old Seafarer for this discussion, but if I came into some vast fortune tomorrow and decided to look into new CC, Grady would probably not be on my list. I find they do an incredible job of cluttering the decks of even their largest boats so as to minimize...

I shopped it around this winter and got a pretty significant discount to what GEICO was charging by switching to Travelers

I was actually wondering if it wouldn't reduce the buoyancy astern by virtue of having less hull back there

Some models of boats that are known to be subject to this issue can sometimes be seen with these: https://www.boatoutfitters.com/flow-max-ball-scupper-clear?gclid=CjwKCAiAgvKQBhBbEiwAaPQw3DUY--2yB8SGAV17F-s0dKnlwVR0qCwOsSk_9gxxQ8nABaksntX5PRoCXCIQAvD_BwE

Is this by any chance the one in NY with the almost brand new Merc 200? Shame they didn't go a little higher on the HP because it looks pretty clean otherwise. I think you're probably at the very lower boundary for what you'd want on that hull since it's rated for up to 300hp. However it's...

I see a decent amount of used or rebuilt ETEC 300s on the market, just sayin...
