I'd love to know the rates. Between Yamaha mid sections and GW transoms, many should have been signing up years ago!

I'd be shocked if that's still the case and/or his policy didn't take a hit. Otherwise they'd lose their shirts from a lot of GW owners.

How old is your boat? I had no issues with our 99 or 05. What was the cut off age?

I have not been able to beat the price and ease of establishing a policy than Progressive.

I'm still making payments on my Yetis.:)

Transoms in 97. Transom and stringers 98+.

There once was a time when the targeted demographic for any company was the average middle class. Smart design and great engineering provided products to the masses at price points so low that it would seam impossible by today's standards. Thanks to a larger population of the upper middle...

Since Yamaha innovates at the speed of an 80s grocery getter, I wonder if they targeted the performance of the blown Merc inline 6s with this new engine and got caught with their pants down when the v10 launched? This 350 V6 probably isn't too far off from the old Verados, but is left holding...

Looks like I was half right with v6 guess, but wrong on the DI. EFI and combustion science has improved since the 1st f300. Looks like Yamaha went conservative with the new design. Considering it isn't vastly different than the f300, it should be a winner in a lot of categories. The THT crowd...

The 248-258 was a similar evolution as the 268-270, 272-282, etc. Typically the 1st part of the evolution was extending the running surface to handle the weight of 4 strokes. As Stang said the next evolution was the redesign of the aft seat to a fold down. Word was Chrysler took issue with the...

Will it be powered by a Yamaha outboard? :p

You may be right, but it would seem odd to me to have a product offering only 300cc apart. We will know soon.

My crystal ball says DI v6.

Congratulations on the trailer. Do you have a tie down point for your bow?

The GW 255 and 257 will be the same hulls. The DC will be the closest comparison to the 258. The 282 is a different animal.

The boat is meant to be trailerable. If you don't plan to trailer, I'd consider a wider beam boat for more room. The cabin is great for 2 adults, or an adult and a kid or 2 to sleep in - plenty long with all the cushions in place. Cabin height is only around 5'6" or so, but offers plenty of...

Selling ox66s and buying an hpdi 300 is like trading an old bulletproof Cummins diesel for a Ford 6.0 dumpster fire. I'd skip that move. Used 4 cylinder 200s are a good way to go, but good luck finding some worth owning. A pair of well maintained optimaxs could be a good option, but there are...

I have no doubt it road better. Most Grady's do better with more weight. You didn't have issues with water coming over the transom? Maybe it's one of those rare occurrences where fresh water didn't provide enough buoyancy?:oops:

My dad had that boat with a 200 Evinrude. The archives say that engine weighed 453 lbs. A full tank of gas with 4 people on board and water was coming over the back of the transom in reverse moving away from the dock. IMO the Merc 150 is the way to go. Light, cheap (relatively), reliable...

The white wire connected directly to the battery was correct from the getgo. All else needed some work, but is good now.
