:goodjob Great to hear. Perhaps you accidently sliced the line while repairing the other issues. Very close quarters where the pumps and VST are. Regarding question a - I get the gel coat repair kit from Grady. For a few larger issues like a scrape in the bottom, I've had a professional...

I'm looking at a 330 express right now and plan to use it 60-70% for offshore fishing. I like to stay dry and having the full helm area enclosed is nice - at least it is in my sailfish. I also like to have the comforts and room below offered in the express model and love the fact you can have...

Good question for which I have no idea. I would ask a dealer or Andy.

I'm looking at a 33 express right now. We fish out of MD and weather in fall can be cold and nasty. Have a 272 sailfish now and love having the cabin room. I would think it is all a preference on needs and how u will use the boat and where. Good luck!

The very first year after buying my new 272 (2000 with ox66 225's), I had a fuel pump go out. There is a fine membrane which apparently can tear and will cause the engine to stall or run slowly. Had another one go out ... therefore every 2-3 years I go ahead and replace all three on both...

Looking for an easy cheap way to communicate while offshore and I just spotted an ad in West marine for something called the SPOT Connect. Has anyone tried this and does it work 50-60 miles offshore (MD-VA East Coast)? Looks like it links to a smart phone and allows one to send email and text...

THanks for the feedback. I agree about the engines and will probably shoot for 300 - 350's. Grady is off this week (annual vacation) but when they are back, I'm going to ping them on adding larger engines to older 33's. I'd love to get a 36 but hard to find any around at a price I can afford.

I’ve finally outgrown my 272 sailfish and thinking about moving up to a 33 Express. Anyone make that similar move or have any comments, concerns or advise to share? May try and go new or look for an older model and repower. Seems to me the early 33's were underpowered with 225's and 250's...

I didn't know but there was a little fluid leaking down the front under steering wheel. Went with least expensive option hoping that would do the trick. It seems to have worked.

Thanks. Spoke to John yesterday and overnighted the pump to him. He said to clean, test and put it back together would be 30-40 unless parts were missing (which they aren't). Hoping that is all it is. They are located near BWI airport so close by to me. Thanks!

Anyone have these engines? What do you think about them?

Groco was telling me I needed to purchase the entire set up. Is that not the case? Just need the motor and macerator head (I'm guessing).

To hold course, I needed to keep turning the wheel slowly to the right. I could make quick fast turns but holding a straight course was difficult. Looking at my wake, it was zig zag. Air was apparently getting in the line through the front seal and not sure if back seal was leaking. Did the...

Finally going to replace my macerator pump. Anyone know of any good deals out there? Best price I've found so far is $500.

Had a leak in the front seal of out Teleflex (Sea Star) hydraulic steering this weekend which caused us to cancel a trip offshore. Thought I'd share what I learned in fixing the problem. First, if you are not greasing the steering hub annually, start now. It's the one thing we didn't do and...

I've had to do the same to mine a few times the past 2-3 years. My grady 272 11 years old. I try and click it a few times every month to keep it loose. Ive also had it freeze up (just a clicking sound) only to have it work a few hours later. Go figure. Will keep this up until the thing...

I removed mine twice in the past 3 years. The impeller just needs to be lube'd up and it should start working again. I usually try to click the on button every month or two during the winter months to make sure it doesn't freeze up and I also pour a ton of the pink antifreeze (as it is a...

Can't say enough about Andy. He's the best and has always been extremely helpful when I needed his help. :goodjob

I'd like to add satellite weather to my grady this Spring and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for good low priced options. Was told I can't add it to my Furuno 1650 plotter and sounder and doubt I could to my Raymarine pathfinder RL70 radar unit either. At a boat show this weekend...

purchased a really nice cover from boatcoversdirect for around 800 for 27 sailfish. Covers the entire boat and seems to be really strong. Boat is high and dry!!!!
