Donation made! Quite possibly my favorite website to visit everyday, I have learned a lot through it! Are there GreatGrady.com decals for sale anywhere by chance, I would be in the market for a few. Andrew

I would I imagined the bow hook and the rear hooks would have been the strongest part of the boat as well. I guess what I am worried about is adding two cleats to the top deck and putting backing plates under them and that not be a strong enough spot to tie the boat to. I read an article about...

I am not too worried about matching anything since I would add one to each side, as long as it looks like it belongs. I saw some people recommending the bow eye as well, but also found on this site when searching about a Marlin that used that and ripped it out during a storm. My mooring location...

Well the cover is off the boat and I have a bunch of work to do this spring, so I will be posting a lot for assistance. I pulled the injectors to send them out for service and plan on cleaning the O2 sensor this week. One project I need to do is add a bow cleat to either side of the pulpit. I...

I replaced those rear brass drains on my old Offshore last year if that is what you are talking about. I was going to do as VeroWing said until I found these drains from GEM LUX. They are stainless ends with a plastic tube in the middle you can cut to the length you need. I had to ream out...

Re: Fuel Guage and Sending Unit Problems Great, thanks for the info. I just e-mailed Grady for the proper length, hopefully this will take care of the problem!

When I got the boat last fall I remember the previous owner says he thought there was a dead spot in the fuel sending unit. It had a little over a half tank in the main and the aux tank was full, he said he thought the dealer replaced it but it looks original. On the ride to my mooring the fuel...

That says brakes enough to control the trailer, and I would think stating that the manufacture built the trailer with one set would be enough to argue that point. Also I am not the biggest fan of surge brakes anyways, I have never had luck with them. I have a full sized GMC with the...

There should be s sticker inside the cowl somewhere with the proper NKG Sparkplugs model. I have never sprayed anything into the motor in the spring as long as it was put away properly. Throw the batteries on a charger unless they have been on a maintenance charger over the winter and see how...

Just got off the phone and placed the order through EMI Marine for the brand new Venture trailer. It actually does have disk brakes on one axle, mag rims, and front target bunks for $3770. He is honoring the current pricing with my deposit for pickup on April 25th on my return from NC. I called...

I am going to have to guess drum brakes. A few of the other trailers on his website specifies disk, so unless otherwise noted the price he gave me must be drum. The 2012 trailer I saw local to me is $3100obo, Unless the seller is willing to go to $2500 I think I would rather the brand new...

Just got a reply from EMI. Brakes on one axel, mag rims, and the 8750 carrying capacity for $3675. He did mention the price increase and said he is not sure what it will be. If I do not find another trailer local I am thinking this might be a good option since I will be traveling that way in...

http://emimarineinc.com/blank.html About halfway down is the VATB-8725 model. I know is has traditional springs and not torsion axels and I would have to find out about brakes. I am traveling to the outer banks in April and this dealer is on the way so I was debating on ordering one for...

Great thanks for the reply!

I am looking for a trailer for my 272 Sailfish. I have to have the boat hauled in the spring because it is so high on the stands I would't dare trying to lower it onto a trailer for what the cost of the haul would be. I have been keeping my eyes open for a nice used trailer before I pull the...

Re: Older Offshore Hulls, (1985-1993) Finding one without ro I just sold my 1986 Offshore in the fall with a good original transom. From what I was told by the surveyor who looked at the boat for me and others is that if the boat was well cared from to begin with they are much less subject to...

I just upgraded to a 99 272 Sailfish from a 24 Offshore. Although I only had it out a few times at the end of the season I couldn't be happier. Your budget will probably depend on what you want for power, I was happy sticking with the OX66 since they have great reputations and I am familiar with...

That is a great looking boat! I am hoping to reserve a slip on the Vineyard this summer for the fireworks in August, I will have to keep my eyes open! I hope that will just be one of many Vineyard trips next summer. Warmer weather cannot come fast enough! I work with a few guys that would...

I was emailing boattrailersdirect.com and they said their trailers weighed just over 1,000lbs so a 10,000 pound trailer gave me enough wiggle room. I just plan on moving the boat back and forth to the mooring once in the spring and the fall, but I like the option of pulling it myself in the...

Don't forget each motor weights around 450#'s. I was thinking my 99' with similar options is around 7500-8000 pounds. I am keeping my eyes open for a trailer for it and I know I need a 10,000 GVW minimum trailer.
