Wow, that is the kind work I use to do... cant believe it :lol: A few things popped out in my head. Some of this stuff, using GIS sptatial based analysis could and is likely already being done by scientist studying whales, manatees, sharks, you name it. That is no big deal in terms of mapping...

Strike, What bothers me is we use to really rely on the states to lead in fishery management and enforcement with the Feds primarily focusing on federal matters. I use to be an environmental planner and worked in Fla. In my job I bumped into the Game and fish guys from time to time on the...

My 228 has the F250 and it tops out at 43. I have a hard top and typically have 2 adults and 3 kids on board. Not sure the 225 would actually be much slower. Maybe the 250 gives you more power out of the hole maybe? I dont honestly know as I have never been on 225 or 228 with a f225 motor...

I agree, no details on the policy and its direct impact on sport/recreational fishing. I am a conservationist at heart and respect the resouce. I follow the rules and buy annual fishing licenses in 2 states and now likely 3. Our money spent on tackle, bait and licenses goes to support the...

Grady White's success is due in part to keeping their staff quite a long time. I would suggest calling them or emailing and ask this question directly to them. In a way you might have answered your own question, the new model appears to have more of a pronounced V.

Nothing Else, Do you apply this by hand or are you using a random orbital buffer? I have used meguiars, but I am open to trying something different.

Sorry about the boat selling in Houston. I think any boat under 25 feet should be piloted with some understanding and caution in a 4 foot following sea. The period of the wave is important too plus if you got 4 foot swells with white cap choppy garbage wate on top of it. The longer the...

I have an 08 F250 with variable valve timing manual control. I only have 150 hours on it and it has not given me any trouble. I like the new guages of the electronic control. It is up to your budget ultimately on which way to go.

Brent, I have owned a 228 for just under a year. Compared to bigger Gradys its ride is not the same, but for a 22 footer, it rides great for a 22. I haved fished her in 3 to 4 swells and wind driven 2 to 3s. Depending how hard you push it , the ride obviously is either pleasant or not, also...

Congrats on the boat Shamsul. I know Yammaha reccomends using a marine grade 4 stroke oil, not just some 10w-40 for the car. Is this type of oil readily available to you as well? I gotta say, seeing the distances you are going to buy a Grady is really something. It is something I think we in...

Thanks...I guess :? I was hoping for, sure they work great! I am just razzing you on the I guess part :wink: . I really do appreciate your perspective Brian. I dont like wasting money even if it is $58. I had a similar thought about the extra gear on the line. When I saw the ad I was...

Journeyman, went to Meguiars website to look for the product in question and did not find it. They clearly make a distinction between the purpose of the polish and wax on their website. Did not mean anything by my comments here. I use their boat, RV and auto products and have been satisfied...

Hi Yall: The admiral gave me a subscription to Saltwater Fishing and in the back I saw an ad for these "birds" you attach in line with your bait when trolling. They are called Out Rovers and it appears from the ad, their web site and some other online sources that these birds take your bait...

To add my 2 cents....wax is not polish. Wax provides a certain level of protection against the elements. Polish will help brighten up gel coat, remove surface scratches and bring a shine, but it does keep the glossy look. I am a fan of Maguires, that would be my vote if you choose, but it is...

Average Joe, Have you or the Tidewater club cruised the Dismal Swamp canal or what ever it is called between the Pamlico and Chesapeak there?

Yeah, FSU of late is like a high school team. One of the things about the big bend is the sparseness of marinas and other marine services. There is small village near the mouth of the Suwanee, well it is up river from the Gulf with a fuel dock. Their hours were funny though. I would encourage...

Take Dave up on his offer, too bad you cant sea trial a 226 too. I prefer the layout of the 228 over the 226 in terms of the cockpit. I had a 192 with a similar euro transome type design of the 226 and fished it in 2-3 and never had an issue with water over the stern. However, with that said I...

this is a trip we want to make ourselves and if we still lived in central Florida we would likely do it. The Daytona Beach Grady club use to do a huge trip every summer over from Pt Everglades. I would imagine having, younger kids myself, if you were going with some other buddy boats taking the...

What are the made out of? Aluminum or ss? It seems aluminum would take a lot of time to corrode. It might get pitted, but it is not like you are boating in the dead sea. Zinc is used as a sacrafiscial annode where galvanic corrision would an issue in areas where dissimilar metals come into...

My old boat had a standard vhf and the garmin interfaced well with it. Standard Vertex makes some very nice transcievers from marine to aircraft to amature radio. I suspect their quality would be no different for their gps recievers. How is the cartogrophy? Do they use other maps or is it...
