Trapper, don't worry most the guys who run 30 plus footers are over compensating for something. Talk to their wives. lol. The 208 is a fine boat and I contend most Grady's under 24 feet are truly the best boat in their size class. My 192 was a great boat. I somewhat miss it. When I decided to...

My family loves the 228. The aft deck space is huge for a 22 footer. Toss a couple tear drop bean bags and you got a comfy boat. We do a ton of snorkeling and the deck space with full swim platform is great for entering and exiting the water . I don't have anything against a 208. with that...

I am sorry guys, I just read the title .duh ,he says it .Seastar hoses . my bad . lol

Question. My 08 Seafarer I had to replace the seastar helm . I mean I could have repaired it I suppose ,but either way I put a new one in last spring. So, do you know if your stearimg system is actually ok minus the hydraulic lines? I ask because given the age of the boat you may want to...

my only criticism here is if you are going to do all that work why not replace all the plastic through hull fittings with stainless ,including the scuppers? That's a beautiful boat. Man, prior to the SeaVee 2 days Grady was really rocking the Carolina Flare on that hull. I wish Grady still...

Welcome to the forum! Great boat ! As far THT goes you own a Grady Wet and your transom is going to fall off any second and Grady is mid tier two piece boat posing as a sandbar queen top tier boat and you can buy way more boat for less money. I think I covered that pretty well. lol. For the...

The waste cap is your pump out . Many marinas have the ability to pump marine waste water tanks. My Seafarer came with a portable head , macerator and pumpout . By law the seacock is to be closed if you have a macerator. I think you can discharge it beyond 3 miles from shore . I don't do it...

welcome ! Enjoy your new to you boat! I got my 08 bilge apart right now. I am replacing hoses and doing some cleaning. I am just a few thousand miles east of you near NC 107 and Caney Fork. maybe you know my UPS guy? lol. it's a small world but 3/4 of it is covered with water and that's why I...

Hey Norcocoastal, help me help you . help me , help you. ( a line from Jerry Maguire), you have freshwater supply hoses, scupper drain hoses, live well hoses, washdown hoses, fishbox drain hoses , front deck drain hoses and bilge pump hoses. So, which hose are you in search of here? None of...

Wish I could join you! I took my Seafarer there a few years ago and would do it again. I hope you find a buddy boat .

What size tires does said travel trailer have already? if the size matches then it will fit. I am a long hauler . Not Covid long hauler , a trailering long hauler. my typical trips are between 600 and 2,000 mile round trips with either my camper and or boat. I did a month long 7,500 mile...

I am in Texas now for a wedding . I ordered some new bilge-ware . I will be taking the KY Boat maintenance and repair course upon my return. As a testimonial, I can. say before knowing KY my life was in shambles and my bilge was an embarrassing. I suffered from LBE, a real but treatable ...

You could add food coloring or some water soluble dye to the aft bilge to rule that scenario in or out. Easy to do and get results quickly.

Actually , my bilge is almost as clean as yours. Almost ....lol

it makes the rest of us look bad, that's what is wrong .

Power Tec claims better midrange fuel economy with their OS4 props. I getter better cruise with mine by a tenth of mile per gallon. I am not surprised by your noticed improvement. Garlic. it's local and we enjoy it a lot. New Smyrna use to be our beach growing up in central Florida. JBs fish...

When the Abacos recover from Dorian , you need to get a fourth pic from Hope Town or Green Turtle . I would love to slow down enough to cruise the ICW from Baltimore to Keys. Technically ,the ICW is not in the Keys but it all connects. Looks like a great trip. When you to get to New Smyrna...

Oh,the places you'll go...with a 228. Yah, I wish Grady still made it in part because I could get up to date OEM parts thus keeping her like new. She has been a great companion on the water for me and my family. I hope to get many more years and adventures out of mine that's for sure.

Well, a guy caught an 1,100 pound or so blue fin in a Grady 225. So, there is that. You are going fishing for fun not for money or to earn a living from your boat. In that case, maybe the 272 isn't the best but you know what, go out and have fun and see if you can boat a big one.

Magic, it's so hard to decide.Yah the Great Lakes seem like a cool place to boat. Keys/Bahamas or the Great Lakes? I know it's not a binary choice for many as you could do both. For me I typically do one family trip a year and if it involves the boat it means warm tropical waters for...
