I'm not directing this response at "you", per se, but with the way you wrote this, it comes across as sarcastic and a bit insulting by using words like "you" and quoting my use of the word clarification. As I noted above, I've been on other forums where an open-style forum proves very...

Just to be clear, I do like the idea because I've seen how it works on another, well-mannered, forum that I frequent... and it works very well. But I'm not purposefully trying to change anyone's mind - just pointing out that it CAN work - but that all depends on us. WE are the ones that make...

So - just to clear things up, if I'm understanding Mustang's question correctly (and the way I envisioned it), this "open" forum would not be open to just anyone. It's for "us" to have an area to ask non-Grady-specific questions, but get answers from those that we have learned to trust over...

If you're going to add actual shore power, you might as well add an outlet or two. But other than that, it would be a waste of money and time to add shore power if all that's needed is a battery charger. Heck, some battery chargers don't even need to be hard wired - they come with a plug...

Sounds like all you need is a basic battery charger - lights and radio are all DC items - no AC needed. Check out the ProMariner's ProNautic series - they're an excellent charger without breaking the bank. Marinco, as an example, makes a simple power inlet for a regular, 15a extension cord.

I don't know how much I would use a "Tiki bar" section, personally, but I'd say that if it was of interest to some members, go for it. If I didn't want to use it, all I have to do is not click on it... pretty darn easy. That said, I might use it - a place for things non-boat related but...

Not everybody has access to electric - hence the reason it's an option. Plus, it keeps the base price of the boat lower (although, granted, it's a small slice of the pie). After all, it's technically a day boat - not a cruiser-style boat with obvious needs for power. I assume you're asking...

Not sure if there's an off-the-shelf cover - maybe someone else can give better info - but any local shop should be able to make whatever you want. T-top's typically aren't designed for doing watersports - unless purposefully designed for it. But you will know that if there's a tow swivel...

Seasick - I wasn't responding based on anything you said - just a direct response to Mike. But... ooof! You're right - shot is more than I remember! At least you wouldn't need much of it by using it way up front. The plus is that it doesn't take up much room. I'm sure new, heavy gauge wire...

A better, and easier/cheaper, solution would be to add weight under the v-berth cushions. Lead shot in reinforced bags for example. Moving the batteries forward also increases the vibration/pounding that they "feel".

I was thinking more about this and, in my opinion, it would be a mistake to do this. First, the opening you're talking about is probably about twice the size of a tuna door. Secondly, and most importantly, you're cutting away a big portion of the boat and weakening it's structural integrity...

It's amazing how far technology has come... :)

You can always override it for as long as you want and then simply switch it back to auto again.

What year/model do you have? If it's the one in your signature, I'll make an assumption it's about 40 years old. Insurance on that is only a few hundred a year. How much would you really save on the chance that your homeowner's insurance covers it as well? You said "should" which sounds like...

You said "couple different sizes"... a couple different sized of "what"? Post diameters? You can get into your boat by installing an inexpensive shrink wrap "door". Super easy. BUT... if the slide is good, just change the seat. The bolt pattern is standard and should match up with the...

Basically, the way the system works, is that you find the right running "attitude" that you like. So this not only applies to listing, but also pitch. Once you have the boat the way you like it, you say "remember this attitude". It doesn't remember the tab settings - it remembers the angle...

That's certainly a great reason to cut your boat! You're not going to find any type of "kit" available - this is all custom work. I don't know of any place to recommend but I'm relatively up to speed on general costs of things. IF you can find someone to do that in the States (that's a big...

Tide, I'm only familiar with the version I mentioned above, which is an older version. It seems strange that the "Pro" version wouldn't remember settings when the original one does. Sounds like something to check into again - maybe there was a miscommunication?

I still don't know what system (there are a few) the two of you are referring to, but the Bennett ATC will work ALL the time, including helping hole shot. You set it one time and it retains that. But of course you could change it or override it.

Which system are you talking about? Bennett's ATC has been around for decades and is pretty much fool proof. For reference, I'm speaking from experience - I've personally used it, but my shop has also installed them for quite a few customers over the years.
