NA2P is right.. I had a Seafarer for 10 years..Great rig, no doubt. I assure you, a Gulfstream is a HUGE improvement. It's in a whole other class, and it rides way better. The only drawback is the 9'3" beam, and it's a LOT heavier to tow. It is not a boat to tow with a 1/2-ton truck, but...

Head-to-aft.. Reason..That's where my reading light is mounted, and I usually read myself to sleep.

Thanks all.. This is interesting stuff. I wasn't aware that you all run them that fast with no problems. If I crank up to 4500-4700 or so, I'm at 35-37MPH. Do they use any oil over time between your oil changes at those sustained rev's?

I have wondered about this for awhile. What is the best extended-cruising RPM range that will extend the life of my 200 4-strokes? I don't want to run them too high for extended periods, thereby shortening the lifespan. My extremely reliable tech says that it's good to run the 4-strokes at...

I had the same problem with my 2007 Gulfstream. I don't know why or what the factors that contribute to it are.. Simply shut it off 2-3 gallons before it gurgles up the hose toward the cap. Check your "Total Fuel Used" gauge on the panel. Note how much fuel you've used..(Ex: 70...

To Clarify.. I wouldn't say a word if my Gulfstream was 8-10 years old.. However, to leak like mine has after a year and a half....... Tom H. brings up an interesting point.. Maybe the front office folks need to walk the aisles of the factory section and keep an eye on the assembly...

Not much to add to Catch's list.. One thing..When you return, get into the habit of flushing the engine(s) with fresh water EVERY time you have them (it) in salt. Depending on the condition of your boat; washing and/or spraying it down is time well spent. If your boat is weathered you may not...

mjtyszki.. This is true.. I will admit that it's easier for me to spend someone else's money rather than mine. I would like to throw in one more concept. I don't think it's wise to make truck/towing judgments strictly by the numbers given from the factory or an owner's manual. Toyota...

I repeat.. Grady-White, are you reading this?

CJ My 6.7 Cummins gets 7-8 MPG at 70MPH. Slow down to 60 or below, jumps to 10-11MPG. Same with Jason's Duramax. This is towing my 232 Gulfstream,10,100 lbs. I still say 3/4 or more to pull a Seafarer. Mine, back when I had it, weighed 6000 or so, depending on how full the tank was and...

I also concur that the Pro-Captain advice is good. I would've never thought of that. I have a Gulfstream with twin 200's. I have and am still learning on-the-fly. The most important thing I've learned so far, other than GO SLOW is to maneuver as much with the engines as possible when backing...

Kris,Eddie,Jeff Brown...EVERYONE at Grady.. Are you reading this?? You all go to owners forums and talk one-on-one with customers asking for input to improve the product. PLEASE start sealing these trouble spots so they don't leak!! Some of these boats are over 100k(Mine)..This is...

CJ has it right.. I tow a Gulfstream currently, but had a Seafarer for 10 years that I towed with a 3/4 Chev with a 454. I got my Dodge (07) and will never tow with a gas engine again..The diff. is amazing. My son has a Duramax and says the same thing CJ says. Yes it'll tow with a 1/2...

A thorough spray/soaking is the best way to start. My Gulfstream's cabin leaked like a seive. 1.)Port and Starboard windows. 2.)Thru the instrument panel into the access panels and gravity drained it onto my forward cushions. Sorry for your problems..Catch may be right.. Listen...

It's because of you and others like you that we can enjoy boating and the passions of life as free people..Thank you doesn't seem like enough to say.. The rig you have will be fine in light to moderate conditions. It'll get wet and crappy if the winds go over 15-20 knots and you have a...

I'm upset with you too.. You didn't participate in my "Sharks!" Thread... I am joking, for the record.. I keep trying to predict in my head what'll happen to Grady and I keep coming up with no answers. I would think the big twin and triple engine Express boats might go by the wayside.

I own a Gulfstream and have owned a Seafarer..Both will do what you want and more, weather permitting, which is always the case. Gross Profit.. I don't think I've ever seen as clean and great-looking used Grady as yours. You are an inspiration to me to step it up with mine, and my past...

awesome.

Good Shots!! What is the "green thing" that is the nose?

NA2P; Neat pics...Wind was blowin' pretty good, looks like.. Do you trailer much? How much does your Gulfstream/Trailer-combo weigh? Reason I ask is I trailer everywhere(I live in Indiana) and I have about everything known to man loaded in the boat for my trips..Twin 200 4-strokes, full...
