    new grady

    It would be interesting, and informative, to know what percentage of Grady Whites ever make it west of the Mississippi River, much less the west coast. Some days, it seems like they are 50% of the under 35 boats using Beaufort Inlet, which is the inlet nearest to the factory.

    WTB: Old style gunwale rod holders

    I looked at mine while removing the bolsters a couple of weeks ago, and was surprised to see that the tubes were two piece, joining a few inches below the gunnel. Never seen that.

    Finally!!

    Did you have room in the canal to make some hard turns at speed, to see if there was any blow out?

    WTB: Old style gunwale rod holders

    Any of them can be mounted at an angle to the centerline of the boat. What vertical angle are you looking for? They are usually 15 or 30 degrees.

    Scupper valve replacement

    Your's are from THMarine. You may be able to get an exact replacement from them. If that whole thing comes off by removing those 4 screws, I would want to replace that gasket. You don't want water getting to the wood core in your transom.

    Removal of Bow Cushions, Freedom 285

    Seat cushions themselves snap onto the lids of the bow storage areas. Backrests may be part of the bolsters, if that is what is giving you difficulty.

    2021 180 fisherman

    That is pretty much the definition of defamation, the intent to damage one's reputation. If he can't win this battle, I wouldn't advise painting his face on a target for that war. I would get a reputable, independent, certified/licensed marine surveyor to make a thorough assessment of the boat...

    1986 Seafarer 226 stringer replacement

    I don’t know anyone who has gone from their first boat to their forever boat. You are fairly young, and I am fairly old, but I think that we are both at a similar stage when it comes to boating, and that is, enjoy it while you can! If you can knock this project out in a few months, I say go for...

    1993 209 Escape Fuel Tank Replacement

    Looks like there might have been a 2 x 4 cross brace where those holes are. Pressure treated wood used to contain arsenic, until 2004, and it would eat holes in aluminum. A lot of jon boats ended up with 2 rows of pin holes, where they sat on PT bunks.

    Bilge High Water Alarm?

    I can see where there are times when you want to turn the alarm off, but I would prefer to have the light be independent of the switch, in case I forgot to turn it back on. Does the bar below the larger round lens light up to indicate that the system is armed?

    Bilge High Water Alarm?

    Basically, it is a float switch which triggers a light, and/or an alarm, instead of a pump. If you don’t already have a secondary bilge pump, it would be a good idea to install one, and include the alarm in that circuitry. If the secondary pump has a built-in float switch, you might want to...

    Extra Bolster Fabric?

    Thank you, I made a couple of stops on the way to the coast this afternoon, and found everything I need.

    Extra Bolster Fabric?

    I guess a picture is worth a thousand words. Bolsters are one piece wraparound, 96 inches long, although they may end up being two piece. Each piece of fabric is 8 –11 inches wide, depending on whether or not I end up using mesh or grommets. Either way, a yard won’t cut it. Maybe I will end...

    Extra Bolster Fabric?

    And then I will have a piece about 30 by 108 left over. I thought someone else may already be in the same position, and want to recoup half their cost.

    Extra Bolster Fabric?

    Anyone have any of the pleated vinyl that they want to get rid of? I hate to buy 3 yards, and use less than half. I could get by with a 24" wide, by 3 yard piece.
