    Whats the biggest seas you've been in?

    Fresh water waves are different than their saltwater counterparts. They strike faster, are sharper and steeper, and have less room in between them. We took my then 22 Seafarer from New Buffalo, Michigan 7 or so miles South to Michigan City. Seas were 3-5's, out of the NW. We obviously had a...

    first time purchase, 232 or 272

    I have never been aboard a 272, but own an '07 232. I go out on my own most of the time and I trailer the boat to my destinations. I personally would not want to deal with any bigger boat than a 232 on my own. Launching, retrieving, cleanup, and towing is kind of a big deal. Admittedly...

    Shady; I get a kick out of your Bay shots,plus your very cool boat. I have crossed the bay many-a-time from the ICW Northbound under Manatee Avenue. This was in the late 70's and early 80's. Do you flush your engines and wash down your boat after every trip out? I haven't been to saltwater...

    Gulfstream Lives!!!!

    Mega; I guess I'll mount a flag to one of the rodholders or something.. There are a few Grady-Great-Lakers with outriggers..I opted to not get them as I am not a(Sorry!)Big-time fisherman. Joe; The 208 is a real cool boat. My first test-ride in a Grady ever was a 208,pre-Seav2.) You probably...

    Gulfstream Lives!!!!

    Fishin' Rod.. I'm with you, I loved my 22 also.. I was trying to convey, (and maybe not tactfully) the big difference between the 23 Gulfstream and the 22 Seafarer. I'm sure the 9'3" Beam plays a part, but the ride, weight and stability is lots more for just one foot difference in length...

    Gulfstream Lives!!!!

    Shots are the Chicago Skyline..We went across form New Buffalo, Michigan 43 miles to The Windy City. The Gulfstream Rocks!! With all due respect, a MUCH better boat than my 22 Seafarer. Cruised at 32-34 MPH at 4000-4300 gettin 1.8 to 1.9 MPG. Only big surprise was the 10,000 LBS it weighed...

    I owned a Seafarer (1992) for 10 years. I had a '94 250 Yamaha Saltwater Series on a Grady-Drive, and the scuppers were above water. I had a 172 QT. Cooler astern, filled lots of times, and the scuppers were right at the waterline with the extra weight of the cooler. Even then, there was...

    Tampa Bay Grady White Club meeting

    Those guys are real understanding about that... I'm in Indiana and they took me as a member.. Now that my Gulfstream is on-the-way, I might be able to actually do something with those guys soon.
