What will I be doing? I'll be waiting for a 270 without a hardtop and no bottom paint to show up on the internet! I wish I knew how many they made without a hardtop so I could determine what my odds are of finding another. I might have to settle for one with a hardtop and modify it. If I'm...

When I have talked to GW customer service, I was told the added running surface was for buoyancy and better overall performance. We only run a single, but like you we have often noticed the 248 needs to be trimmed way down with tabs well above planing speed to get the bow down when loaded. I...

Hate to be Deb Downer, but if someone is selling 2 f300's for that price, you might want to ask if he is related to a Nigerian prince. $15,600 each is almost a price too good to be true. Buyer beware!

If ramps are deep, you couldn't give me a roller trailer. I'd only own one if ramps are shallow. I bought a Loadrite Elite aluminum bunk trailer with guides and target bunks in the spring of 2015. I paid the very knowledgeable trailer dealer $75 to set up the trailer to agreed specs. One of the...

100% for sure soot. Owner wont convert to propane.

We must rack at the same place! After soap and water on the smooth stuff, cleaner wax has always worked for me. As for non-skid, star brite or west marine deck wash always seems to cut it well. The trick with using it is to create a good lather and let it soak for 3+ minutes, scrub a little...

Congrats! I have almost a decade of experience with that model and possibly engine if it is an ox66. If ox66, seasick is spot on. After 9 years I have the old 225 running better than ever. Unfortunately I dont know exactly what I did this year that made such an improvement with low speed...

Interesting. I know Grady performance reports are optimistic, but twin ox66 200's yielded 2.0 at cruise. HPDI's are reported to be 20% more efficient putting you in theory at 2.4. You run heavy?

What kind of performance are you seeing with those engines at cruise, wot, idle? Thanks

The more I look at the photo and take into account all the comments, I think I can tell what is going on. Looking at the top and bottom edge near the no skid, you can see some peeling. The non skid above and below are the same color, but the peeling area is more yellow. Some type of paint or gel...

That photo was taken on the cabin side of the walk around. If it matters.

It's a 2001 Grady. I'll have to ask the seller more questions, but it is turning me off at this point.

It is the inside of the boat. I dont know if the inside was ever painted or re gelled.

This from a boat that I have inquired about. It has a few spots like these. I've never seen this before and wondered what is causing it. It looks like paint over gelcoat, but it is on the top side of the boat.

IMO, a 225 2-stroke = no problem. A 225 4 stroke with less than 4 liters of displacement, I'd do some homework before committing. A 3.3 liter 225 yamaha 4-stroke only makes about 208 hp and makes nowhere near the torque of a 2 stroke or 4 liter zuke or 4.2 yamaha. I agree with Seasick on the...

Bummer. Hang in there. Hopefully the worst is behind you!

Impressive. There is a lot more to engine performance than the hp rating. What is 4k rpm speed? Please let us know when you run wot and what your numbers look like. Curious because the g2's dont seem to lose much efficiency wot compared to 4-strokes. I'd love to have an efficient fast cruise...

I know the 200 HO is based off the 300g2, so it likely makes a lot of torque. A 200 4 stroke would struggle to move that boat. How does the 200 HO do?

Depends on your expectations. Look at Grady's website for that boat and the performance report. Most novice boaters become obsessed with a boats top speed, when in fact conditions will rarely allow one to run wide open. The 4.2 f300 makes good torque, but if you are running the boat regularly...

I have plans to be out every weekend. Unfortunately this year we have seen the absolute worst weather keeping us off the water all but twice. Thankfully my dad has been able to get out during the week and limited out. Makes the crap season pill a little easier to swallow.
