You have a point:) The Electrophysics Grp33plus looks a lot like the Rayplex unit which runs under $300 on Amazon. I have no experience with either model but did considered an Electrophysics model several years ago and I am pretty sure it was not priced as low as the new Grp33plus. If anyone...

Marine specific moisture meters will cost $400 and up. I have never seen or read about an inexpensive marine moisture meter. The new Tramex Skipper 5 runs about $600.The older model is about $100 less last time I looked One good feature is that the depth of penetration has two ranges, the...

One of the reasons that soldered connections are not recommended is that the solder tends to creep (wick) into the cable past the intended solder joint. That makes normally flexible stranded cable act like solid conductor cable which when flexed can fracture. The only conductors I would solder...

Interesting,If you go the Grady website is lists all the color options as gelcoat. I had heard that due to production shortages, the factory was making all white hulls and painting to order. I don't know what the true story is but I am pretty sure that when hull colors were first offered, they...

The absolute numbers are not nearly as important as are the relative numbers from as many areas as practical General purpose moisture meters not specifically intended for FRP can give misleading readings. Empty space like when the core is completely rotted away will give perfectly OK readings...

KUS bought WEMA a few years ago.

A lot depends on the color process, paint or gel coat. My guess is that painted hulls fade easier than colored gelcoat. It is possible that more modern paints hold up better but I can't say for sure. Of course gel coat will fade over time too but may be easier to 'renew' by compounding and...

Very informative. Thanks for the details. Did you get the GPS tracking model?

Do a search, there are a few threads. Here is one https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/removable-compartment-trays-liners.31128/#post-203108

Some folks have had luck with some Rubbermaid storage containers that fit the opening . I don't know about the deck box. I will see if I can find the posts about Rubermaid.

That's a heavy hull to move. How well does the trolling motor work and what is its thrust? What is its voltage requirement and did you install separate batteries for it?

Did that model hull have an AC switch panel even if it didn't have shore power? Other than the desire for an onboard charger, would there be other 110V devices that might currently (pardon the pun) run off an inverter?

Same here. I rarely go to The Hull Truth primarily because there is a lot of incorrect, information. This Grady site has for the most part accurate advice and very specific information. I wish I had the same resources for my other brand but if that were possible, I would want it on a different...

Can't tell from the photo but if the only connection of positive is the cable on the left than this fusible link is probably appropriate since it will need to be sized for cranking current which can be quite high. That said, the 12v feed for accessories including feeds for windlasses etc that...

Can you summarize what you had to do?

I had researched the ballast issue for a post about a 208 or similar model hull a way back where I mentioned that for 'newer' model 208s the dry hull weight was 200 pounds more than previously and that the extra weight was ballast added up front to compensate for the extra weight of the new four...

Of course the farther away from the stern, the better the leveraging effect but my suggestion was a way to determine if you may need to add forward ballast at all at least with respect to scupper height relative to the water line. On another note, I recently priced out lead shot and was...

The ABYC code states that the code states that solder may not be used as the sole form of connection. But it may still be used.. So a crimped connector that is then soldered is OK but slipping a lug on a cable and then soldering it would not meet the code.

Thanks for that info. Did you reuse the outer skin?

Did you mean Okume plywood? What horsepower motor do you mounted and how thick, coring and faces is your new transom?
