i'd add flex tape

ive been wondering this as well. to the point that i may just call him to get this take

what kind of $50-100 prop are you putting on your boat? i would say the average cost of a SS prop that most in the target segment of boaters use is between $400 and $900. nobody considering a sharrow would consider a $50 prop. claiming that they cost 100x is really cherry picking your...

i saw your post on THT pretty early on, get ready for that to turn into a bashing thread. there is another thread on there just about sharrow that is probably around 80 pages now, mostly people that have never seen one in person arguing with someone else that has never seen one in person. its...

^ x2. both props should stay in the water on a turn. check the things he mentioned.

if it will rub off bottom paint, will it wear through gel coat?

hookup1, what you describe isnt chine walking. it sounds like you are describing persistent listing. chine walking is a rapid side to side, almost skipping action, at high speed. it is almost bouncing from the chine on one side to the other, giving a walking effect.

this is awesome! let us know what you think after a few trips in your home waters

a steady lean? i have noticed mine will lean a bit into the wind, nothing major though and just stays there

keep in mind that if you plan for it and it will work out, you can cut holes at locations that would be good for speakers rather than deck hatches. two benefits as obviously, you get better sound from the stereo, but it also looks better

also, are people moving around, or sitting still?

i have a chase which is the same hull (26'11" and 8'6") with twin 250s. i have not had any problems at all with the way it handles. it will roll a bit more than my last boat, but that had a flatter bottom. that being said, my 1.5 and 3 year old girls had no problems on the boat all summer...

just saw this and based off the title, i was thinking Jerusalem. that would be an odd place for a Grady group... so, i guess Charleston SC is nicknamed the Holy City?

year and pics would help. have you tried calling Grady?

congrats

wow, that sounds like a big project

also, as a side note...when buying a PFD for your new kid, try to find the smallest infant one you can (that is obviously still USCG approved). The one we had for my first kid was too big even though it was labeled infant. at 8-9 months old, if we had her in a sitting position, the chest foam...

haha, i am definitely NOT cut out for politics. thanks for the extra info about your use so here is a bit of perspective regarding your first child due in march. a bigger & heavier boat will allow you more boating the next couple years. you would be surprised how much your opinion of what is...

im not going to be a lot of help here, but ill chime in with my 2c 2. I just got ALL the upholstery done on my CC including foam. it was about 8k using top of the line materials. I think that re-skinning the foam with an interior fabric should be less than 1k. 3. i restored an old (1950's)...

hard for us to answer not knowing how you use your boat and the financial situation. if the current boat meets your needs (size and layout), keep it, upgrade it, and use the extra money for something else. if the current boat is paid for and you can do the upgrades out of pocket while a...
