    Transom on 2007 Marlin

    A few photos of the work to date. Info provided by Grady White to the shop to help them understand how the aluminum brace was installed. Shop said the intrusion of salt water showed from the pitting on the aluminum, and the non-structural putty was not adhering to aluminum. No one can explain...

    The Walk Around Cuddy R.I.P.

    We walk around to the bow and cast swimbaits or jigs to jumping tuna. Or I've had fly fishers use the bow to hook up on albacore. On a calm day there is no better place to fish for halibut. Nice and quiet up there.

    My Cummings likes it, asks for more. Granted the 5.9 is smaller, but it does well.

    Trailering GW 300 Marlin, 305 Express of 330 Express

    The Walk Around Cuddy R.I.P.

    They have made a secondary market for the PNW. Here is a conversion of a Grady made in Scappoose, OR by Joe Dovel He has also made a nice weather top for a 28' Grady with sliding windows. I'm considering having him do my boat.

    Wanted: Fish Box Lid 2007 Marlin

    I'm looking for an intact fish box lid that fits a 2007 Marlin. Mine had a cutting board on it but that is not necessary. Perhaps you have a damaged boat or know of one. Don't make me produce my own hatch as shown on this Youtube.

    Transom on 2007 Marlin

    For an older unit that shows the same readings over antifouling paint, start at 30 seconds. An interesting recent video Keep in mind I rented a unit for $15 that has limited suitability but did answer my curiosity. What I didn't have is in the photo.

    The boat now sits in a yard waiting for its turn with the shipwright. I'll update the process with photos as I get them. The estimate is about 12K.

    Transom on 2007 Marlin

    I crawled into the bilge and tried to get photos from the inside of the transom. You can kind of see the cracks if you zoom in. I'm looking forward to the inspection on Thursday.

    Transom on 2007 Marlin

    Seasick, I tested the hull from bow to transom. I also tested the top before and after each rail, hardware mount or downrigger mount. The only time it showed any red was on the transom. The other readings were in the green. According to my university, YouTube, bottom paint doesn't alter the...
