    What was last year for Tournament, first for Freedom?

    Did the Freedom line ever use the same 19T and 22T hulls? 215 is the smallest Freedom in the line.

    225 Tournament bracket

    Are the top 2 threaded, and also have a lock nut, or are only the bottom 2 threaded? Are the bottom 2 holes open, to extend the bolt, and add a nut, or is it not drilled through, and you need an exact length? In either case, can't you just stick a pencil or something through, and measure? A $3...

    2013 Grady 209 Fisherman T Top mesh bag

    Does 'fourside' mean fore side, or four sides? Unlikely that you would have to drill the rivets out of the awning track. How many sides of the bag have track?Photos would help.

    My next project!!

    I would go red, to preserve my night vision. Isn’t the illumination power wired to the first switch, and then jumped down the line? You could wire that power through an extra ACC switch, or a dimmer, and turn it off if it bothered you while driving. If you go blue, your night vision will not...

    Pulling the trigger on a pilot house on the 228

    Very happy for you! Getting what you want, and having it exceed expectations has to be really gratifying.

    Pulling the trigger on a pilot house on the 228

    You have certainly added your personal touches, and ended up with a great result, but am I wrong in thinking that you are not the first with the basic package? Weren't there 2 or 3 ahead of you? I ask because I am wondering if someone owns the CAD design files, and could they be purchased. I...

    205 OEM Switch Panel

    I don’t want to pile onto the current thread, but since several people seem to be working on replacing switch panels, I noticed that Rusty Ron had new panels for 2016 and 2017 GW 205 for $485...

    Wiper mechanism

    When I worked in service stations, many decades ago, there was a flat spring wire which pressed against the splined shaft. You had to reach under there with small screwdriver, or a pick , and either lift or depress that spring to slide the arm off.

    Cabin cushion covers in the washer

    If you do go that route, take them to a laundromat with a LARGE tumbler machine. I just did that to my 2 piece boat cover this week, and there was no stress on the fabric. Do not use a machine with a center agitator.

    Average discounts in today’s market? 235 Freedom

    Just a quick read shows that labor got charged twice on job #5. And on job #6, 24 feet of red battery cable was $74.40, and 24 feet of black was $4,783.92. I would be giving that invoice a close inspection.

    Pulling the trigger on a pilot house on the 228

    To wipe the entire window with a vertical blade, you need two arms for each blade, and a pivoting blade. Look at #6 in the link. Your windows are narrow enough that you could get away with one per window. https://www.a1-windscreens.co.uk/news/windscreen-wiper-movements/...

    Pulling the trigger on a pilot house on the 228

    That was a nice day's work! On the sliders, does the front half slide back, or the back half forward?

    My next project!!

    You probably only need one good ground for the light circuit, but if I were replacing that bunch of grounds sprouting off of the single wire, I would replace that connection with a ground bus. Do you still have your old panel intact, so that you can at least see what color of wire comes off of...

    Hard Top vs Bimini for Freedom 235

    So, sticking with the Freedom 235, how much is the hardtop option from Grady?

    My next project!!

    Would be helpful to have a multi meter with an audible beep for continuity. One probe on the switch, the other to verify the wire at the end of the bundle.
