    225 Tournament Repower

    The 225 HPDI was a bass boat motor and only came in a 20" shaft..... I think you could probably find a 225 or 250 ox66 and either one of those would be a good fit.

    New rub rails and decals what year?

    The SS rubrails starting appearing on bigger models back in '07 or '08, if I recall. The green decals appeared in '09, as part of the 50th Anniversary designations.....

    Holidays on the water in your GW?

    The 180 gets hooked to the back of the Tahoe on Christmas eve and we head south....will be used every day between Christmas and New Years in FL, unless the wind is blowing too hard.

    GW service, warranty and support - continues to excel

    Tough to look up the dealers now unless you know the zip code of the particular city. Personally, I preferred the "by state" listing...for someone who travels frequently on business like me and picks up parts along the way, looking up phone numbers and addresses is a pain now.

    Seafarer pricing?

    Retail is probably around $80K, without a trailer. I would think that, in this market, $62-$64K would get it done.

    BOE (By Owner) has a big sale right now...the Garmin 3206 for $699 and the 3210 for $1099. You can do the entire bundle (GSD 22, XM WX, etc...) for less than $1600. Those prices are tough to beat....

    tournament 19 new owner bilge pump working? Scuppers?

    Hard to believe its raining...I'm 40 miles north of you and we've had some drizzle, but not much. Look at the scuppers from the outside of the boat...you should see a flap inside the scupper, secured with a screw on top. The flap closes due to the pressure of the water from the outside, and...

    tournament 19 new owner bilge pump working? Scuppers?

    The bilge pump should have a float switch, which when in standby mode, will activate the pump should the water level rise high enough. The easiest way to test it is to stick a hose down in through one of the inspection plates into the bilge and turn on the water. It won't take long for the...

    tournament 19 new owner bilge pump working? Scuppers?

    Welcome to the forum... What year is your 19 Tournament? Depending on how old it is, it may have circuit breakers in the panel (the little black buttons below each switch.) If you press them, they reset the breaker. The bilge panel is dead center, almost all the way astern. If your...

    Time to replace the cushions, combing pads etc

    Still glad you "Got the Grady?"

    I'm on number 6 ...a 190, 208, 226, 228, 205 and now the 180... And I have my eyes on a 225 one of these days :D

    What trailer for Release 283?

    I count 8264 JUST for the boat, motors and fuel. Doesn't include water, ice, rigging, batteries, etc... If your dealer is pushing a Venture trailer, I'd see how much it would be to jump up to the 9625 lb capacity model....

    Yamaha Perf. Data for 1999 Grady 180 w/100 Yamaha needed

    It probably is a 24-26 mph cruise and a 33-34 mph top end. There weren't many sold with this setup...a few 115s, some 130s, mostly 150s. My 150 tops out in the mid-40s, cruises comfortably at 32-33 or so.

    Crocker's Marine Closing?

    They closed their store in Georgetown SC....I would be shocked if they closed either Morehead or Crockers.

    1999 Grady 180 and 2000 Yamaha 100HP Questions

    My 180 with a 150 runs 45 mph and has no trouble pulling a skier. I test ran one with a 130 and it ran right around 40-41. I'd be leery of a 100 hp motor....these are heavy boats. I agree with everyone's assessment; for an 18' boat, it rides like its bigger.

    Considering a 1983 170

    Grew up with one...and its the only one I've ever seen. They are extremely rare and were only made for 1 year. Ours had a 115 Johnson on it...was great for pulling skiers.... Post pics if you can....would love to see it.

    GPS/Chartplotter under $500 any advice?VHF radio what model?

    For the VHF, either the Std Horizon Eclipse+ or Quest X. Both are less than $150. Add a good quality 8' antenna (Digital 529 or Shakespeare 5225) and a ratchet mount and you are done for around $300 or so. For the GPS/FF Combo, the Garmin 520/521/530/531/540/541 are decent values for the...
