    It's A Small World After All

    Had the pleasure of meeting a fellow GreatGrady member here in Myrtle Beach this past week. Just by coincidence, "Hooked On Grady" (Ken Larsen) booked us for a six hour charter on the 24th. The fishing wasn't great at all but the conversations were awesome. We discussed just about everything...

    Repower...What To Do With Oil Filler

    So getting around to repowering the Grady with some Mercury 225 Fourstrokes and was wondering what to do with the oil tank filler located on the stern? Any ideas???

    Repower

    Just purchased a pair of Mercury 225's Fourstrokes for my '94 27 sailfish. Pretty much the same hull as yours. They are not installed yet but per Grady White, they are the only 4 strokes on the market that wouldnt sink the scuppers. I'm replacing the original 200 yamaha two strokes.

    grady 282 throttle cable

    I'm going from memory here...so take it for what it's worth. I believe I ordered 20' for the starboard and 22' for the port. If I can find my old reciept I will verify for you.

    1996 272 Sailfish Questions

    Does your 96 have the stepped up hull at the transom as the 94 does? If so, you will want to check with Grady to see what weight that boat hold on the stern. Just a FYI...They told me I could not put the Yamaha F200's on the back of mine due to too much weight on the stern. Right now my only...

    1996 272 Sailfish Questions

    I have the same boat in the '94 model with basically the same engines. Fully loaded with 202 gals of fuel, 32 gals of fresh water, ice, bait, beer and up to eight people and you can count on 1.0 mile per gallon. A few less people and you might creep up to 1.3 mpg. As for the engines, thought...

    Newly Inherited Marlin

    First and foremost...let's find out where you are located. As mentioned, most every state has some sort of safe boating course. Most of which are on-line. Also, there are many, many folks on here that would probably be willing to offer a hand if you are local to them. Good luck and happy...

    98 272 Sailfish Remote Oil Tanks

    This means that the port tank oil level is in the safe zone. The starboard tank needs oil added to it before the audible alarm starts to sound. It's a very short trip from yellow to red. Ask me how I know. Each tank holds roughly 3 gals of oil. And yes, each remote tank should have a sensor...

    Gasoline Smell in Cabin

    Got a '94, 27 Sailfish with a/c. Haven't stayed on the boat since last year but decided I would tonight. Need to get an early start to a long tomorrow. Anywho, turned AC on this afternoon and when I returned later this evening I was greeted with a very strong smell of gasoline in the cabin...

    Okay, so let's talk A/C installs...

    I'm not real familiar with the islander but on my 27 sailfish the ac unit is mounted behind the fridge, so there is room for both.

    Fueling up to go offshore.

    Great looking boat. I'm located in Little River myself. We're practically neighbors. And yes...I've done the 14 hour boatride to the stream and back.

    Air conditioner 282 sailfish?

    The one Grady installed on mine is 5800 btu and on some very hot days it could use some help.
