    Freedom 235

    I love the color of your boat. What is the Grady name for that color?

    Freedom 235

    I would use this as a baseline for dealer cost and list price. You can configure your boat anyway you want and it will give dealer cost and dealer list. The boating industry is going crazy right now so expect to pay a bit more and wait a bit longer for your ride to arrive. Use this as a guide...

    Hookup, Great call. I called my dealer and he recommended the GT34UHD as the secondary. I will have to research what the difference is. Thanks for the info.

    Hearing protection / coms

    If you are looking for an industrial grade workhorse and serious ear protection I have worn these before on a construction site. They work really really good. bit on the expensive side but a good quality 3M product. I must warn though they are a bit heavy to be wearing that long, especially...

    Garmin Training

    The 8618 was a total typo. It's the 8616. So I based the equipment based on what the dealer recommended. I then bounced it off of a friend who has a Pursuit 326 DC and he agreed. Some recommended the open array but I chose the 24" dome radar instead. My package includes the following: 24" Radar...

    Garmin Training

    Thanks for all the replies. I understand there is no substitute for using the product as much as possible. I did find tutorials on youtube on the 8000 series units. Just trying to kill time to learn as much as possible before I am ready to set sail. It's amazing how much technology has changed.

    Good day all. The final few months of waiting for my new 325 to come in are going to be brutal. I just finished my Florida BoatUS Boaters Safety course now I need something else to help pass the time. I am looking for some good training on Garmin products. Namely the 8618XSV and Garmin Radar...

    Freedom 275 or 285

    I believe there is a huge difference in size and class between the 275 and 285, Big difference in price as well. I was looking between the 325 and 335, again huge difference in size and class. I decided to go with the 325. Have you been on both yet? I know it's hard to see them right now due to...

    Sounds like that may be a Yamaha issue. That’s not good.

    GW Delivery Delays?

    I just received word mine won’t be ready now till end of November. Was supposed to be September. I toured the plant in North Carolina this week and they are quite busy. Last thing I want them to do is rush it. I ordered a 2022 model so it already had the updated engines and controls.
