    Is this a fix before it goes in the water.

    Took the boat to a local marina, they checked it out and didn’t think it was structural. They said it was stress from an impact. Not sure how as I try to be very careful. Going to get another person to look at it. Always good to get a second opinion.

    Is this a fix before it goes in the water.

    Was washing the boat and noticed thieve items down by the stern. I am not sure when they got there. What do you think it the urgency of repairs?

    Really want a center console if I am in Florida. The cabin on my 226 is just a holding tank of stuff.

    Might be moving to FLA

    The boat is an 03 with 1100 hours on the engine so no it doesn’t need to be replaced. I want bigger but don’t need bigger. I think the truck(ram 1500) 8600 max towing and a brand new trailer would make the trip.

    I just got a new trailer for my 226, Grady said my boat was 4800 max lb loaded with gas, water etc. I ended up with the venture 5225 bunk trailer. I was able to load the boat on it alone this year.

    When did you get your first Grady-White?

    I got my Seafarer 226 after my dad passed in 2013, he left me a bunch of money so I bought a 2003 from my friend who wanted to get rid of payment. Was able to get the boat for 2500 under what he owed. My dad’s nickname was Lefty because he was a good baseball player and batted left hand. I name...
