    Rain or Leak on Marlin

    I have had water in my forward bildge after lots of rain. I find it happens more often when I don’t close my drop curtains. Could also use some new caulk around the anchor locker. Like you my float switch doesn’t work(still trying to figure that out) but the manual switch works.

    Hello, Fall!

    I’m with Uncle Joe, bow hunting started last Saturday and the stripers aren’t around this year so the Grady stays put for now.

    Just bought 1993 Seafarer

    She really liked the Sea Hunt Ultra 255 and if she had the money we would probably own that boat.

    Just bought 1993 Seafarer

    My wife wants a CC to sit up front. I keep putting it off as my boat was in the water and in use until November 22nd last year. Gets pretty cold up north. The enclosed helm with drop curtains keeps it nice and warm and dry.

    Been a while

    Success, took the Grady out tonight. Good night less than 5mph winds, short ride but got to open up WOT. Docking was slow and easy, backed right in. Felt good to be on the water again and docking was ok. Like someone said I find it easier to dock when alone. Ready to start fishing again once...

    Been a while

    Thanks for the encouragement. Sept-Nov are better fishing months were I am in the northeast so I need to brush myself off and get back out there. Stern in is no issue for me as I have done it lots of times so I need to continue that approach or be “that guy who bows in.” Lol.

    Been a while

    Since I took my Grady out. July 14th to be exact, part of it was a vacation to Florida but that was in July. Missed all of August, had a bad docking experience early season where I almost hit a boat and the wind took me into a upright on the finger. Luckily there wasn’t a boat there. Since then...

    Putting a Yamaha 150HP on a Adventure 208?

    I believe those years are in the range for the 225 corrosion issues. Mine is an 02/03 and had to have it done with 1000 hours on the engine.

    First Grady 30Marlin

    Congrats on the Marlin, have been wanting one for a while but will wait till I move to warmer climate to get one. If the Marlin rides anything like my Seafarer in 1-2 footers you will be happy with what you want to do.

    trailer for 265 express

    Call Grady White CS, you can tell them what year, and model and they will give you the max weight of the boat, the specs on the trailer and then you can decide on what trailer you want. They emailed me a sheet that had my boat specs.

    Any express owners remove enclosure based on weather?

    Not an express owner but I leave my curtains installed all year on my Seafarer. I roll them up and just leave them there, I find it a struggle to take them out and install them again, plus it makes it convienent to just drop them down in bad weather. With them I can use my boat until late...

    Gps and radio turn off when starting engine

    Not all the time but once in a while if I don’t turn the key all the way to the start the engine. When it happens the key might go back to run and have to turn it to start. That is when the radio and gps go off and reboot. Almost like there is a low voltage or something when it happens. Very...
