    Bimini 306 Tow

    so, the storage location and ramp are on the same property? literally only 20 meters of towing? the f150 could do that. make sure the tongue weight isnt too high. it will probably need to be 4wd to get it out of the water. there is no way i would leave the property with that boat and...

    Galvanic Corrosion???

    so that is a pic from the website. its actually a mount for a rollbar for a jeep. i would mount it in the spot in the pic below. the extinguisher is mounted to the bracket as you mentioned which is a pull pin quick release to get it off the mounting base.

    Galvanic Corrosion???

    I am planning to mount my fire extinguisher to my t-top frame. i want a firm solid mount without drilling. i am thinking of something like the pic (i know the bar is painted in the pic). would there be any issues with stainless hose clamps on the aluminum t-top frame?

    4 Blade Prop on 222

    now that i think of it, it may be that twin 250s on my chase is a lot of power and the cc is lighter than a walk around and may not need the help that 4 blades offer

    4 Blade Prop on 222

    its funny, everyone says Ken at Prop Gods recommends 4 blade props, but he suggested 3 blade props for me. he even said most Grady's are well balanced and dont really need the additional stern lift

    Fire Extinguisher and Life Ring mount locations on CC

    For those with a CC, where did you mount these? im thinking the Life Ring will mount on the left side of the console (door is on the right). i will probably try to hang it from the horizontal tubing for the t-top. Im thinking of mounting the Fire Extinguisher on the t-top, aft of the overhead...

    Antifouling color Bimini 306

    i thought the positive flotation just prevented it from sinking, but it could still go belly-up

    What have you done to your Grady lately?

    i looked through a few pages of post listings and didnt see a thread like this. a couple other forums im on have running threads where everyone can just post what they are currently working on in terms of improvement, maintenance, cleaning, modifications, etc... without having a dedicated...

    Boat Advice

    Zee4fish, what is your RPM at wide open throttle? (also, let us know how many people and how much fuel you had when you recorded that number). Same question for your cruise speed. something is not right with your sailfish, i suspect the props are the issue and could be an easy fix. they might...

    Antifouling color Bimini 306

    i know this was a a sarcastic post, but it raises a good point. i have been thinking about this for a while. an overturned boat with a high visibility bottom would be MUCH easier for rescuers to spot. even if it was just a 1 foot wide stripe down the keel, or the bottom of each strake and...

    Trailer guides

    mine are about 1/4 to 1/2" from the rub rail. they are pvc and will flex around the widest part. having it close will ensure the boat ends up right where you want it on the trailer, even with a cross wind. key - make sure the boat is centered on the trailer when you set up your guides.

    Center console or walkaround/express?

    if you have already owned both styles of boat and you know how you will use the boat, no one here will be able to answer the question better than you can. it sounds like you want a cc, but a cabin is more useful to you that being said, if you are looking for ideas to increase storage on a cc...
