    my trailer that was "serviced and road worthy" when i bought it had an empty actuator, empty lines, water in one caliper, and two empty calipers. after a couple hours of work, she stops beautifully now

    What have you done to your Grady lately?

    not so much to the boat, but for the boat...i built a driveway extension so i dont have to keep the boat down a 23% grade hill. i ended up getting 4 tri-axles of fill dirt and one of stone. it has always been a pain having the boat down the hill. if it was raining or recently rained, it was a...

    Honda 250 taking a bath

    dont be afraid to give it good throttle when coming up. i usually give it enough that i have to pull back on the throttle after i get on plane to settle in at a good cruise rpm. remember, when you are getting up on plane, the boat is essentially trying to climb a hill out of the water. you...

    282 Sailfish weight

    a handful of the boats got a 1000 lb increase in weight with no known design change (other than minor changes to the console layout etc, but nothing that would account for a 17% weight increase). i wonder if they changed more in the hull the year they extended the hull running surface and didnt...

    What have you done to your Grady lately?

    i got the name on, bled the trailer brakes and replaced both trailer tail lights because of a blown fuse in the truck (yea, i know, i was a bit disappointed in myself when i figured out the actual problem, haha)

    Honda 250 taking a bath

    are you talking about how it sits in the water at the dock or at displacement speeds, or while you are accelerating to plane? if you are too light on the throttle when accelerating onto plane, you will have a very weird steep/tall wake while getting up. did you give good throttle, or very...

    What have you done to your Grady lately?

    i put a new winch on the trailer, put the registration stickers and numbers on the bow, mounted the fire extinguisher and life ring, and GOT IT OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME!! she ran pretty good. with just about 1/3 tank of fuel, me, wife, two small kids, and a few bags of crap, we hit 5900/6000 rpm...

    T tops

    got it. if you cant find one within a reasonable amount of time, they should pay to have one made for you. i guess they are trying to find used first before shelling out the $$$ to have one built for you?

    T tops

    unfortunately, that will likely be a hard find. shouldn't insurance just buy a new one for you? whether it can be bought or has to be made is irrelevant. the insurance company's job is to get a t-top on your boat
