I got an easy question.... where is this tourney for those of us not from the area? I am assuming it is in the north east some where....

Good points Mark. If I kept my boat in the water, the motor would be up.

Yearly upkeep is one of those things in my mind is subjective. If you keep her spotless and on trailer there are items like washes, waxes, deck cleaners, etc to be spent keeping the finishes nice. There is costs with using engine products like salt away to rinse the water jacket and ring free...

Am I mistaken, but does Yammaha recommend the down position for prolonged storage of their 4 stroke motors due to oil issues? I have always stored my Yammi 4 strokes tilted down. I thought I read this in the owners manual.

From a Seminole point of view. Get the twin engine boat, plus the 1994 hull is likely a CV2 hull and the 1989 is not. The CV2 hull is a significant improvement in design. You can change the motors, but the hull is the hull.

Lefty, I got a laugh out of your post. Hmmm, putting my kids through college or buying my dream boat? Man, tough choice. Lol......Grady Crazy....sounds like an interesting house around the Thanksgiving dinner table...

I know, I know this is a Grady White place. For the most part we all have a common passion for the water and our Gradys. Second only to perhaps dolphin fishing season, college football is perhaps the greatest season on the planet. Just wondering, who do you root for this time of the year? As...

Great story. Nice find. Luck is where opportunity and preparation meet. You sir were lucky...enjoy the new boat.

I too am waiting for that brinks truck door to open when I am behind it in the middle of nowhere. We have a few pieces of real estate we are trying to sell, but the market is dead. I have been aboard the Express series from Grady and Pursuit. I like both boats. I like the layout of the Grady...

I would like to know too. There are pros and cons to colored or tinted gel coat versus paint. I have seen few colored boats look good after 5 plus years being in the weather with the exception of those sparlkely bass boats. Those things seem to hold up quite well - lol. I have seen 5 plus year...

Wait a minute, the new colors are painted? Correct me if I am wrong, but paint peels, scratches and so forth. Why not take their gelcoat blend and add colorant to it? I like the creme color, but the admiral likes the baby blue and sea foam greens of other boats

I vote for the 99 hull and motor...the CV2 hull isworth it. Number 3...

I think, but aint sure, the 228 hull was converted to a CV2 in the early 90s. You may want to call Grady on the 4 stroke vs 2 stroke design changes. I suspect given 4 stroke technology in big block motors in earnest occurred around 03/04, that any hull newer than this time would be designed for...

There is some wisdom looking Grady's dual console line. I had the 192. It was a great boat for rivers and lakes. The open bow makes a great place for sunning or fishing. I now have a walkaround and the cabin does offer shelter and you can button up the helm nicely in cold weather, rain and so...

I tend to think it is the guage that could be bad. It recieves multiple pieces of information not just the RPM and since you said all the other functions are out. The water temp, oil pressure and volt meter are all different and not just RPM. There may be a fuse on the motor block that could be...

That Lake Moultrie Cooper River Cruise is intriguing. Strikezone will need to find that trailer of his perhaps to make any inland get together. He could go up the cooper though. I can not confirm or deny any fouling of Parthery's water supply, I do suspect the 8 kids we had may have though...

Guys, :lol: I am dead serious. The guy in TN told me to use pledge. He was on the phone and he was not joking in the least. He further told Nick at Fallen's RV in Whittier, NC and Ben Fallen the owner to use pledge!!!! I am at a loss. My past trailer had Tie Downs, but I have read much about...

Magic: I must contest the description of the 21 cc accident off of Clearwater. I called both the Coast Guard and the Florida Game and Fish investigation unit as I did not want to make the same mistake. The captain down there did tie off the anchor on the stern and he reported getting the anchor...

Ok, some of you know my 1.25 year old Magic Trail trailer with its lovely NGS or what ever they are disc brakes failed two weeks ago. So my local trailer RV repair guy pressed them for new parts for warranty work. The guy at the brake manufacturer said every worthy skipper knows to put pledge...

Got it... :doh ...was not thinking there on that one..
