    Storage Tarpaulins

    Geedub, have you looked at boatcoversdirect.com? Their prices are good, they through in freebies like tie-down straps, and their warranty service if you have an issue is excellent. I speak from past experience....

    Tournment 225 Vs. Freedom 225?

    The hull hasn't changed since 2003. Changes have been cosmetic, and include a redesign of the dash, new cushions, and moving of the stereo to the passenger side,

    Top Grady Maintenance Items?

    I'd stay away from plastic.....it's not so much the "wear out" factor as it is the "hit a piling or something in the water and they split".... SS or chrome over bronze will serve you well.

    180 Aft Seat Lid Latches?

    I don't think you will need it. On my 180, they never flipped open. I too had to replace the screws. Just make sure the cushions are secured or they will blow out. I had to replace one - $150 a pop at my local shop to get one made.

    New Grady Owner

    Hunt around on eBay and you should be able to find used ones. They are plug and play. Congratulations and enjoy the new boat.

    Is this enough trailer?

    My 225, and the 228 before it, scaled in at 5500 lbs. And that was with a half tank of fuel. And that's with the weight of the trailer subtracted. Actual GVW - with the trailer - on the scale - was almost 6400 lbs. Both of those boats sit (and sat) on 7000 GVW - 6000 capacity trailers...

    trailer for marlin 300

    Where are you located? Some may disagree, but I would characterize the trailer manufacturers like this: Mass producers....generally made from the same parts....large dealer networks...(Road King, Magic Tilt, Continental, Load Rite, EZLoader) Smaller regional producers - also generally made...

    trailer wheel bearings

    You shouldn't need to be pumping grease in after every use. If you don't have them, consider swapping the hubs for Super-Lube/Accu-Lube,etc...hubs with the built in grease fitting. When you pump grease in through the fitting, it pushes the old grease out through a one-way seal. When the...

    Watersports - Tubing help

    You need an extra long (12') harness. I have the Airhead TY0216 (about $20 or so) and it clears the motor with no issues.

    Which Lowrance ????

    Found some pics of the LCX-111 I had in my Seafarer....same size electronics box as yours. If you go big, you can fit in the box, installed from behind. Will look like this. S3500486.JPG by parthery, on Flickr Or - for a few bucks, you can get a panel made and flush mount it. S3500001...

    208 adventure

    2 stroke V6 weighs 475....the new F200XB weighs 479...and puts out 210+ HP at the prop. Repower with one and you won't need the sandbags in the bow.

    Which Lowrance ????

    Get the biggest screen your wallet can safely handle. A 10inch screen will fit in the box. HDS 8 or 10, Gen2...with structure scan will work well.

    192 Tournament Replacement Horn - Can't Find

    No GW is too small...I've owned a 180, 192, 205, 208, 225, 226 and 228. I actually prefer the smaller ones as they can be trailered easily. And yes - we still expect to see boat porn. :mrgreen: Back to the horn panel - you might also email John at FL Marine Plastics....he did my last dash...
