Yes they are...look forward to doing both.....

Hey yall: I just wanted to say thanks for all the support and kindness found here. Because of this forum I have met some reallly solid folks. Strikezone took pitty on me as my boat is slowly being put back together, and invited me to fish with him on his boat. Went to Charleston on a quick...

Uh, I drive and love my Tundra, but Toyota has taken it on the chin and some suggest they did exactly that hide the truth behind their recent recalls. Yammaha did step up to the plate and when I pick up the boat, I will talk to the mechanic. He said to me he encountered something similar on...

Thanks Guys...it makes little sense to me as well. My wife and a friend were sitting in the stern seats and when I came off plane they did not get wet and the top of the motor is wellvabove the top of the transom. It would seem they would have been wet too if this was the problem? I came off...

I carry a spare...

Yammaha is going to put a new powerhead on the boat! I am very pleased to say the least. However, they did not find a cause other than possibly by me. They suspect the motor was briefly submerged while coming off plane since it is a bracketed motor. Do any of you give any special attention to...

This is really sad. We are in May and things are slowly being resolved. The Loop current in the Gulf of Mexico could start to move the oil out of the northern Gulf and possibly into the Keys and beyond. Not sure how diluted it will be or not and in fact I am speculating. I am heading to the Keys...

I called the dealer and as of 5:00 pm they were removing the heads. They indicated they found water in a couple of the cylinders. I will know more tomorrow, but the motor is rusted up pretty good inside. The mechanic said there is clearly water getting inside the motor, significantly beyond any...

I expect to hear from the dealer about the direction today. They wanted to do this blow down test, but since the motor will not turn they could not do the test. Yammaha asked for the computer diagnostics and then told the mechanic to tear the motor down and take photos. I will update when I...

Sea Trial both on a bumpy day, not a snotty day, but a day with some chop on the water ...then the Admiral will want the Grady. I have never been aboard a HS, have seen them, but if the boat company is on the rocks, there is no way I am buying a new boat from them.

Even with my bad experience with my F250, I would buy another. Sometimes bad stuff happens. My old f150 was a solid motor and I expect Yammaha will take care of me with this motor. I took the cash instead of the YES warranty, but once my current situation is resolved I am likely going to...

Yammaha has asked for the diagnostics from the motor's computer. They are doing a blow down or drop down test on each cylinder to test for a blown head gasket. Seems to me things are pointing to a new powerhead, but it could be premature to say this. I am relaying what the mechanic and yammaha...

I tend to go back what somebody said about how do you intend to use the boat? If you are trading up the 27 foot boat will ride better than the 23, but it really depends on your use. I liked the Islander and wished they still made it. Grady does not have a cabin boat between the Journey and...

Tashmoo: Thanks for your analysis. The boat is kept under cover when not in use and after each outing when we are all cleaned up, the motor is tilted down. Something is truly odd here. When we launched it her I started it right up without a any sign of trouble. First turn of the key and she...

Yah, I have all my service records. I did the Grady dealer suggested 20 hour service, I did a full service at 90 hours and a miniservice with 10 micron change at about 140. Here is something I recall, the motor's water in the fuel sensor went off while sea trialing the boat back in March. The...

Guys: I heard some very bad news today from the Yammaha service center. The motor is seized! :shock: The spark plugs have rust on the tips and the rings are rusted. I am completely in shock. I did everything right, I filled the tank up over the winter, used that Stabil stuff, she is kept...

Stikezone, being a redneck can be a great thing if you use it right. Heck, it was a redneck who towed my sorry butt in off Lake Fontana when my motor would not start...rednecks rock! I just wanted to return science back to its rightful place and point out rednecks are not just confined to...

I gotta tell you guys, I was and still am deeply moved by the outpouring of kindness when I brought up my son and his surgery. When enthusiasts share a common bond like a boat brand with the lore of Grady, it just comes out I suspect. I did tell my Facebook friends about Kyle and posted...

All the time! :D It is especially fun to rag on Bayliner owners, Whaler and Pursuit to name a few, NOT! To me it is like being a fan of a college football team, yeah you take jabs at your rival on your own forum, but it is poor taste to just go over to other forums and become a troll there...

Hey Folks, Cast is off! I did not go to Greenville with the Admiral due to being a small business owner and so forth. Reports say Kyle was in a great deal of pain when the cast was removed and his hips went from static to dynamic. He had no true bed sores, but did have some red "hot spots"...
