Steve: Yamaha tested this combo on 8-21-02 with a 15 1/4 X 17 SWS prop. See Yamaha's test here: http://www.yamaha-motor.com/assets/prod ... -GRW-B.pdf The next day, Grady tested this same combo (probably same boat?) with a 13 3/4 X 19 M prop. See Grady's web site for performance specs...

Yes. In 1992, all boats 22' and up were SV2. Look here: http://www.gradywhite.com/customer/cata ... s/1992.pdf Rob

Steve: I note that your first post is to help someone else. Nice to see and welcome to the forum. Rob

Wow! Nice day. Rob

Ray: Welcome to the forum! try this link to the 1982 Grady catalog. It may answer your question. http://www.gradywhite.com/customer/cata ... s/1982.pdf Rob

Just picked the boat up from the 1,000 hour service. So far, the F250 has been flawless. Heading to the Bahamas so I hope that record stays intact! Service cost was, coincidentally, also $1,000 and incuded the usual oil, filters, fluids, plugs, zincs (some in places I didn't know existed) and...

Rick: I suspect that a 250 would be not quite enough. I'm thinking that with your 9'6" beam (I'm presuming that is correct) that your boat is a bit longer and wider than a current 232, which also has the engine(s) out on the bracket. And I would consider a single 250 to be marginal on a 232...

Now thats a 'glass-is-half-full' kind of guy!

Natsdad: It would help to know the year of the boat and which engine. I had a 1995 208 with a two-stroke 150 for ten years and I don't recall that I ever saw water come up the scuppers to deck level. If you don't get a good answer here on the forum, I believe calling Grady will get you some...

Strikezone: My dealer used a starboard shim they cut themselves. Rob

Nice pictures! I'm curious, how far do you run to find that blue water? Tx, Rob

Husker: If this link works, it takes you to Yamaha's test of a 247 with two-stroke 115s. If it doesn't work, I'll post numbers below. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard/pr ... s=outboard RPM MPH GPH MPG Db 1000 4.9 0.9 5.44 63 2000 7.7 3.2...

Gulstream Grady Group Bahamas trip is on. Lee has thoughtfully arranged a captain and crew meeting at Gander Mountain (100 Gander Way, Palm Beach Gardens , FL 33403; 561-627-5642) this Wednesday, May 27, at 6:30 pm. Lee has arranged for Homeland Security staff to be there to sign people up for...

Future: Downloading brochures will give you a good start. Grady walk-arounds have similar lines, and, from a distance, or in a picture, can look similar. But if you can get to a dealer or a boat show, (or look at the prices) you'll see a world of difference between the Voyager and the...

Capt Khaos: I also used to change the plugs every 100 hours. Became obvious that I was waisting $. Now I clean, check colors and gap them every 100 hours and change every 300 hours. Even then is no indication that the plugs need changing! Rob

The SV2 ride on the 1993 Adventure was a significant improvement, in my opinion. Two friends had Overnighters (one with a bracket and one without) when I bought my Adventure. Even they agreed on the noticeably better ride on the Adventure. Also, the Adventure added, amongst other things a...

Not sure that I agree with placing the downrigger in a rod holder. That can be a lot of pressure for something not designed for it. I spoke with Grady when I mounted a Cannon downrigger on my then new 1995 208. They advised gunnel mounting with sufficient backing rather than the rod holder. I...

Another thought if you are referring to the freshwater washdown: I have thought my freshwater tank was full before when it wasn't. I put the hose in and water started backing out. Turns out there is a sharp bend in the water fill line. Either insert hose past that bend or slow down the pressure...

Strike: I addded them to my 208 which I had for ten years and now on my 258 which I have had for 5 years. Dealer installed for me and used some large washers as backing. No spider cracking at all. I do recommend you add a properly cut shim to counter the outbaord slant of the gunnel. Only...

I would agree that twin F150s is greatly preferred over twin F115s. What kind of boating do you do and in what kind of conditions? Rob
