So, just asking for a friend, do you work for the "mob" and handle " special jobs" for them time to time? You know make special deliveries offshore that can never be found again? That's a beast of cooler there.

Well I guess that's my answer ...thanks guys ! I will use the interwebs and go from there. shurehold sounds like a winner.

Greetings: I usually do the interior polish and wax by hand as well as the cabin top. I have an old 10 inch Craftsman buffer I got after college in 1994. Still works and use it to apply wax to the hull. It's gangly and not suitable for the smaller spaces in the cockpit. What orbital buffer...

KY, how about driving down to the Smokies and doing a lady a solid! Your boat looks very nice. I got some cabin work to do at a vacation rental but I am hoping to roll her out of the shed, get the pressure washer, garbage, bag and boat soap to her this afternoon. Then I am going polish it...

Magic, why do you constantly have to tell everyone I am lady? I am triggered. I know my boat is a wreck and poorly maintained. Then you have to bring up I am lady too. #cleanmyboattoo!!!!

Is this the new Taco or previous model? I am curious because I have 2 Tundras , an 08 and a 15 and until the COVID economy hit, the admiral has suggested getting a new vehicle to replace the 08 Tundra, which by the way has 227,000 miles and runs like a top. My brother has the new Taco and it's...

There is a reason Grady still makes the 228. I think it's the second longest running hull in production behind the 208. I have one and tow it with Tundra equiped with 5.7 v8. Towing is easy . Stopping is key. I am a Toyota junkie but I can't imagine towing it with a Taco. It's great 22...

Frankly, Don't go at all. The gulf of Mexico is dangerous. All Grady White boats should come with a warning label, not for use in the 2 foot chop of the Gulf of Mexico. Besides your boat has wood in it and it will literally rot beneath you as you go along. The whole idea should be explored...

Hey Russ, I own a business. I keep my books clean and use QuickBooks. I track it all and keep it detailed for two reasons, the IRS and someday I hope to sell it. If I fudge my numbers , then I could get in trouble and I damage the value of my business to a future seller. Likewise, the hour...

I had a 192 and repowered it with a F150.. Boat ran great. It would fly with a 200 but honestly, the 150 will work very well.

Congrats. I think the 208 came with trim tabs. If it didn't think about adding them down the road..the variable dead rise hull geometry is tab friendly in adjusting the ride. To maximize the geometry in a head sea , tab down to get the stern up and bow into the waves. The short steep chop...

Congrats on the ride. Honestly, if it is s 4 stroke, change the oil. Put a new water separator filter in it. I always run ring free in my gas. I bought the hype and just do it. Inspect the fuel and then if it's good, add 93 octane ethanol free to top it off. This way if the fuel is stale and...

I actually did my repair in April. That fuel fill hose is either 1 inch, 1.5 or 2 inches as I recall from ordering. I don't recall a 1.25 Hose? Maybe the new hose has a bigger OD but the same ID? I bought 1.5 inch MPI hose with the red stripe. Maybe the stringer has swelled some? Is there a...

Russ, Gals you splashed it. I am puzzled though. Your engines are the heart of the boat and the fuel system is critical. That water separator is crucial. It would have been one of the first things I replaced on an unknown used boat and one that has sat for 15 months. You didnt ask but now...

I just did mine and my son and I bled it . It's easy. Just take your time. We bought 3 quarts of hydraulic fluid as I flushed all the old stuff out. It's a good job and bleeding is easier with a helper .

I recall the heady days of the 70s,lol, when it was OMC versus Mercury and then you had that odd ball Chrysler. BRP just convinced themselves that if they built a better 2 stroke that people would buy it in the 4 stroke revolution. The etec by all accounts of those who own them have more...

Getting a new wife seems kind of radical and expensive in finding new boat friends. But hey, a man has to do what a man has to do. Also there are boat friends and then there are boat friends who throw you gas and buy your bait and ice and so forth.. don't know the dynamics here at all, but if...

I have been in and out St. John's River, St. Aug, Ponce, Sebastian, Fort Pierce, St. Lucie and Lake Worth. I don't have the stones to run Jupiter. Sebastian and St. Lucie can be a challenge, but Jupiter is not for me.

My venture story is similar to Seasicks. They once installed Tie Down components. They should be called lie down , lol. The frame and such is fairly decent. I just took all the tie down crap off and installed all stainless Kodiak brakes and better hubs and bearings. So, if you can order a...

My factory rigged 08 228 had the motor on hole number two on the engine and top hole on the bracket. Your boat being pre-stroke era might like that engine where it is. I repowered in 17 to a 4.2 liter 250 and it sits on hole 2 on the motor , top on bracket. My motor is like 80 pounds lighter...
