Hey Yall: I had plans to head over to Bimini with some friends in June. However, these darn snow day have extended our school year. The admiral teaches so our dates have been scrubbed. Now I am looking at mid toblate July to make a trip either to the Keys or Bimini. I have long wanted to trek...

It seems if they are going to do this, then perhaps they should have like a 22, 20, 18-19 models as well. I saw it as a southern boat for sure.

There is a fellow Grady-man here that says new motor=new boat. The fuel economy will be better. The smell at idle will be nicer. The sound at idle and lower rpms will be quieter. The peace of mind of having a reliable motor is priceless.

Brian, did you sell your other Grady - the 225 you got like 2 years ago? Just curious.

Hey Guys: I am working on my winter/spring maintenance stuff. In a couple of weeks I am having the motor scoped for exhaust corrision issues for my peace of mind when the water pump and so forth is being replaced. While the deeler I go to is inland, they are a 5 Star Center and are factory...

Grady White is introducing. It is called a coastal explorer. It is like a beefed up bay boat. http://www.gradywhite.com/251/ It is kind of a cool looking boat. Part me of says if Grady goes after the Bay Boat Market, maybe they should add a deck boat to their line too. Then again, would...

I know I am coming late to the party here. However, I have a question. What do you troll for? I fish the east coast of Florida in the spring and I target surface pelagics like dolphin, tuna and wahoo. I am always on the look out for weedlines, birds, rips and so forth. Using an autopilot for...

Congrats on the new boat! That new boat smell is awesome (lol). Great advice many gave. I would add just go ahead and buy a hub kit that has the rotor on it and carry it with you. I got that new boat bug myself, but will wait to act on it in a year or two. Send pics when you get her.

I have the factory option of the full width swim platform. We use it a lot on the lake and when we are in the Keys or Bahamas. I highly reccomend you doing this. It uses bracing on the sides with bent stainless steel railing like pipe and rests on the motor bracket. If I was redesigning it I...

jlindsley: While I no longer live in the area, Volusia and Brevard counties is where I do most of my fishing. I have family in Deland and Titusville so we go down on the spring to fish. I am not trying to talk you out of a Gulfy at all. It is a great boat and if I lived there I would likely own...

Is that corrosion into the material or mineral deposits on the surface? I cant tell from the photos. If it is corrosion and you can afford to do it, then get it all fixed with new parts. Seems like others said, when you go to sell it, you will have record of the fix and a peace of mind for the...

Hi Guys: I am looking at either buying new cushions for the helmschair and companion seat plus the fishbox seats and stern seats in my 228. Part of me wants to buy all new Grady seats but I suspect that will not be cheap. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good marine fabric biz that will take...

Hey Guys - just a FYI, most folks are within 2 days shipping for our chocolates, including our shooters which contains 3% alcohol by volume. You can order up to Next Monday and still have it in time for Christmas.

So, is there an affordable way to exmine this without pulling the powerhead? Can a mechanic drop the lower unit and examine the oil pan/exhaust with a boroscope or something? My motor is an 08 and it troubles me when I read stuff like this especially when I run on a single and sometimes so far...

Hey Yall: Some of you know and have tried my award winning hand made chocolates. It is but a dream someday my business does well enough to sponsor my own offshore fishing team. Help me get there and I will help you guys look awesome this Christmas with the Admiral! When you visit our website...

Depending on the seas from flat calm on a lake to the ocean, we typically get anywhere from 2.5 to 3.2 on the 228 with a F250. I trailer a lot, so the 232 was a concern for me, but that boat seems to be awesome. If I had to do it over again and someday soon I hope I will, I would give that 24...

If I could change one thing on the 228 it would be to add 6 to 8 inches in the beam. I like the 228 as it seems to be a pretty darn good 22 footer, but the beam is a bit narrow for the design of the companion way or walkthrough space between the helm chair and the mate chair. I am not a big guy...
