    RADAR ARCH'S (ATLANTIC TOWER)

    I never actually owned anything made by them, but I saw their display at the Baltimore Boat Show a few years ago. Bear in mind I was in the market for a T-Top so that's what I looked at. The entire thing flexed and wobbled when I shook it, the top itself looked like it was some sort of...

    future grady models...40 ft express

    And at 40', there will be plenty of room to stuff some iron under the floor and maintain a spacious aft cabin. C'mon Grady, jackshaft or straight inboard diesel is the smart move on a boat that size. Maybe even Volvo IPS.

    HPDI vs ETEC

    So true...althought the trim is more of a navy blue. :D Man, I was a dumb @$$ for selling that boat... :cry: Much better than this.... I mean, c'mon...why paint motors the color of a cloudy day? :lol: :lol: :lol:

    HPDI vs ETEC

    The lines on that motor are awesome, but c'mon. If you wanna display the stars and stripes, do it from an outrigger halyard. Those graphics are awful. Almost looks like a HIPPIE-TEC. :D

    HPDI vs ETEC

    Sorry gradyfish, but I have to disagree with you that the looks of an engine should have no bearing on the purchase. That's like saying the look of a boat has nothing to do with the purchase. That being said, you probably can't go wrong with any engine from Yamaha, Merc., Evinrude, Suzuki or...

    Which prop should I buy?

    Start with Merc's Prop Selector... http://appcenter.mercurymarine.com/propSelector/home.do I used it to prop my Sailfish and their recommendations were just about spot on. :)

    Grady White Owner Makes A Great Catch !

    My Dad and I fished a guy out of the middle of Delaware Bay about 7 years ago. No other boats around for miles and if we hadn't seen the guy, he would have been gone forever within minutes. Saving a life give you a feeling you just can't put into words. :) Good job Capt....wherever you...

    Washing slip covers

    I pulled the covers off of my v-berth cushions just a few weeks ago. My intention is the have the covers dry cleaned to prevent any shrinkage. As for the plastic, I think the purpose of that is to allow vacuum to be applied to the padding before being inserted into the covers. Applying the...

    New member has question about fueling a GW 208

    Part of the problem is that the fill line runs uphill to get to the tank. It would have been a much better design if the fill was mounted on the gunwale and the tank inlet was at the front of the tank.

    232 REAR TRANSOM WIDE FISHBOX USES..?? LIVEWELL MAYBE??

    I've never used a livewell but it's my understanding that if the corners aren't well radiused, your bait will get stuck in the corners and drown. Yes, a fish can drown. :D That being said, the shape of that box itself doesn't facilitate making it into a livewell. You could however fab some...

    Removing/tightening the screws for the gunnel hardware

    I know the bow rail and cleats are through bolted, but the rod holders on my old 204 were simply screwed down. I was able to get to the nuts on the cleats by going in through one of the aft wells. Could you do that? Not sure if you can get to the nuts on the bow rail due to the...
