The SV2 hulls are the upgraded design that Grady implemented in 1992.Better, drier ride, etc. I usually am touting max power on these boats for engine longevity, higher cruise speed, etc. Do not base your decision on top speed. here's why.. Grady White hulls are not built for max speed...

What's the name of the tune you used as background music...Neat reggae-tinged shuffle with cool changes.. Kinda sounds like Al Stewart singing it. Y'know the "Year Of The Cat" guy..

Hey.. I had a Seafarer for 10 years and really enjoyed it. 1.)Anchor pak that I used...8 feet of galvanized chain coupled to 1/2 line.I had 300 feet in the anchor locker. All tied to a danforth sized for 26 foot boat in 25 knot winds. 2.) I'm not sure about your seating question..We had...

I agree with Grog. get the 250.. $1500 is not that much extra to spend if your keeping the truck for 10+ years. Besides, a lot can change in 10 years. 1.)Maybe you'll start towing to further destinations. 2.) Maybe you'll get a bigger Grady.(It's happened before..) 3.) As stated above, the...

Frank said it all very well....

I have the same canvas snaps and the same problem. My canvas guy demonstrated the following technique to me. Facing the "bullet" on the windshield, using both hands, put the snap over the top of the bullet, then pull down over the front of the bullet..It should lock on then..At least it did...

I have not been in the Scout 24, or, a Grady 24 for that matter. I DO own a 23 Gulfstream and DID own a 22 Seafarer. The Seafarer had an 8 FT. Beam, the Gulf, 9'3" as you all know. The Gulfstream, with the wider beam, outrode the Seafarer by a HUGE margin. I was openmouthed at the...

I kept my Seafarer for 10 years..Sold it as I needed a break from the cleaning and trailering..It became more work than fun toward the end. I purchased my 232 Gulfstream new.I'm starting my 3rd year and plan on keeping it another 10 at least. I don't like trading boats all the time...

ElyseM has some good points.. I would only add two things.. 1.) I also have a Gulfstream with twin 200 four-strokes. it is an incredibly safe and stable rig. I would go so far as to say it's the "biggest" 23-footer out there. If you purchase a Gulfstream, you'll already have a built-in...

Legend... My 232 has twin 200 four-strokes.. Perfect power.. The scuppers sit underwater at rest, so it is slightly stern-heavy.. It doesn't matter, the water drains out of the cockpit area with no problem. It cruises at 30-33 MPH getting 1.9 to 2.0 MPG Rev's at 3700-4000 at those speeds...

Even factoring in the probable bias toward the Gulfstream..(It is a Grady Site) the Sham and the Whaler would have to be incredible all-around rigs to best the 232. My vote..(OK, maybe a LITTLE bias..) The 232 with twin 200's..I own one with this power, and it's the best... I'm assuming...

Igusto.. Got your PM and sent you a reply back..Thanks.. Nothing Else Matters.. Thanks for the "paper clip insight." That is something I will definitely try in the shallows next time my tube clogs up..

Igusto.. Checked my PM Box..Nothing from you in there.. Maybe I hit a wrong button.. I'll check again in a bit...

I don't blame you.. I, too have the Garmin for accurate speed readings, but if the Yamaha speedo isn't functioning then my fuel MPG reading is affected. my trip odometer, and so on. I rely on those readings for trip/distance calculations. Mine goes out a couple times a year..once in the...

Seriously??

Like Igusto, my tube clogs up on my 200 four-stroke. Mostly in the Keys where I have to run thru enlongated narrow beds of seaweed floating on the surface. I have been able to clear it out and make the speedo read correctly again by a hard reverse and then a blast of forward. Unfortunately this...

A single 250 is not enough in my opinion. Too low on power, plus you lose the maneuverability of twins. Twins plane the boat better. cruise faster and if one fails.........you got the other one. I have twin 200 4-strokes on mine and it's a great combo.
