    330 Express Bait tank

    I don't know what set up you have but you can over work your bait if you have too much rotation of the pool. The bait is already stressed out, scared out of their wits and are fighting for their life. After hours of fighting a serious current under those conditions, it can be too much. Volume...

    Anti-siphon valve...friend or foe?

    That's what I have understood is that their function is to prevent fuel from getting into the bilge due to the siphon effect but if the fuel line and engine are above the top of the tank they are not required and really have no use. The thought that they are to prevent drain-back from the engine...

    practise

    As a matter of fact, that's exactly what it is. That was a previous boat of mine. We hooked those fish at about the same time about 45 miles out in the Gulf. I'm the old guy.

    practise

    Yeah, that's the site I use. I think the "large thumbnail" size is good for showing pictures of boats and outdoor scenes. The practice pics I put up awhile ago of the fish were the "Huge thumbnail" size and I think they were too big. I just wish you could choose more than one photo at a time to...

    Anti-siphon valve...friend or foe?

    I had an anti-siphon valve stick closed on a previous boat so I replaced it with a regular barbed fitting. The day it happened I was taking some family members for a look-see cruise out of Olympia, Washington in Puget Sound. After launching the boat and starting the engine while tied to the...

    Gulf Grouper.

    While I'm working on my Grady and can't fish it, my buddy invited me on his boat for a grouper trip in the gulf. Had a fun day with great guys.

    Dock lines

    For permanent dock lines I would vote for 5/8"- 3 strand. For tie-up lines to carry on the boat for while you are present I would choose 1/2"- 3 strand. Stretch is your friend and you can quickly splice an eye in 3 strand if you have a special need.

    Need help on Grady construction

    Thanks for the heads-up. I'm famous for not reading things fully. I'm going to try again right now. Just tried again and no luck. The "Submit" button doesn't blink or act like it is being activated for some reason. I tried rebooting my laptop, single clicking, double clicking and right...

    Need help on Grady construction

    I spoke to Grady customer relations today and found out that the deck is 1/2 inch plywood with flat washers and nuts installed before the cap was landed on the hull. Carolyn said it's ok to drive the sawed off bolts through and install toggle bolts. They are on order. Meanwhile I got some non...

    Need help on Grady construction

    Hey skunkboat, thanks a million for finding that drawing of the rigging tube layout.(where did you find that) Those links you attached are the things I have been looking at. I am thinking the same as you as the most desirable route to take. I haven't got an email back from Grady yet but with the...

    GW 330Express 2006 Fuel not flowing from Alt tank?

    I don't know what part of the country you live in but from what you just described, that the engines run for awhile before they konk out, if that was going on with a boat here where I am, the first thing to check is the through-hull fitting for the tank vent line for mud dauber nests. If they...

    Need help on Grady construction

    Well, I sent an email off to Grady White today asking them about what's under the pedestal and what type of attachment system they used back then. I also asked them if they could offer a suggestion as to the most desirable method to be sure and retain the fit and finish up to Grady standards...

    F-26 Tigercat Repower with G2’s

    I see a Tigercat every once in awhile. I am always intrigued but have never got to board one. I wonder what made Grady drop the line?

    That's sounds like something to consider. I will do a little research with Garelick.

    Need help on Grady construction

    I have an inspection camera. I will stick it in there tomorrow and take a few pictures. Just feeling around from the center hatch it doesn't feel like there is any gap there.

    Need help on Grady construction

    I removed the seat boxes/tackle storage things that the previous owner had installed and bought a pair of Garelick adjustable pedestals so I can have my cockpit back. I had hoped that it would be an easy matter of screwing the bases right back in the old holes but evidently Murphy was watching...

    Continuing Great Loop - A few Pics

    So to pass through a lock like that takes a tremendous amount of water. Do you have to wait till you have a sizeable group to lock through or is it on demand for a single craft regardless of size?
