We debated between the 225 and the 228 and wound up with the 228. The 225 is a solid boat. I loved my 192 and wish I had the ability to keep the 192 and have the 228. I bet she is a great boat. Funny, I told my wife when we bought the 228, "Cant wait to get blood on the boat"....enjoy :) and...

Does Oakly make a rose lens? I guess I will check out their web site and find out?

What model roller assembly did Grady put on the boat? Perhaps using what Grady would have installed would be the way to go?

I guess you are right Magic. But I guess my concerns are due to everything going today and perhaps next year with our economy, the potential of owning and affording to operate a bigger boat gets reduced for guys like me. Sure I could probably buy a bigger boat, but if fuel costs go through the...

Wow :shock: Sorry to read this story and glad you and your mate are doing well. When I read your story images went through my mind on the magnitude of the damage and honestly, I am impressed with the build of Grady given what your boat went through after hearing your story and seeing the...

Thanks

My kids absolutely love boating in the Keys and the reefs off of Key Largo. I love boating and fishing there as well. :wink: Our favorite is a bit north up at Carysfort Light and the Elbow. Those places are gorgeous and the crowds are a bit smaller. The reef at Carysfort has decent elkhorn...

Not a Grady question, but i have these oakly half jacket sunglasses and love them. They came with a brownish polarized lens and they perform quite well on the water. The admiral bought me some new lenses for Christmas and they are oakly's blue ice. They have a gray/blue tint to them...

We were down on Key Largo staying at Pennekamp. We bought gas on the Port Largo canal there and regular gas was $5.25 on the last week of June and first week of July.

Customer service is paramount to me and in my own business I give what I expcect and that is partially why I own a Grady. When I was in college back in 1991 I bought my first brand new car a Mazda 323 hatch back, white. I lived in Orlando and my folks were in Tallahassee and we drove that car...

Seasons Greetings to all the Grady owners here. Being a native Floridian and never seen a white Christmas we came close in the Smokies this year, but alas we will wait another year. My wife and I have some nice vacation rentals here in the NC mountians and a small, but slowly growing...

Our first Grady ride was in my brother's 1984 192 nearly 2 decades ago in Wilmington, NC. We bought a 1998 used 192 in 2002 and this year traded her in for a new left over 228. We love it and I am glad I got the Grady.... about 3 years ago were in the fla keys..went fishing off of Key Largo...

I frequent the Keys and use to have a Tournament 192 and we took her all over the place and fished her on good days well into the Gulf stream out of Islamorada and Key Largo. loved that boat. Traded her for a 08 left over 228 and the ridge quality is night and day. I am very pleased with the...

And the Oscar goest too......Too Much Oil in the motor. This irritates me to say the least. Then again, I should have just popped the cowling off and checked it myself :oops: Time to roll up my sleaves and just do this like many of you do to your own boats and have suggested that I do...

We had a 1998 192 and loved the boat. On good days have fished 45 miles offshore of Ponce Inlet and Sebastian Inlet Fl and the Florida keys. She was fuel sipper for sure and great family boat. We moved up to a 228 this spring because while the 192 was and now is a great dual console boat, it...

You always remember your first one :wink: Welcome to owning a Grady White. She is a nice boat you found and you should have many wonderful days on the water with her. :D I like your passion too about buying a Grady.

When I bought my GPS I did so through the Grady Dealer and I know I paid perhaps too much. I have the through hull ducer and like it alot. It holds the bottom all the way from idle to getting on the plane and in choppy water. I want the weather module and may get it someday, but I have the...

I just may have to do the work myself :wink: . For me it is a time thing more than anything else. I will look into that oil pump idea. I have a 25hp yammy on my skiff which is also a 4 stroke and I have changed that oil before. richie rich... yes, it was blue/grey oil smoke and not black...

Thanks guys...I am taking her in tomorrow after we drop the kids off at their first day of school. It is odd as it is not smoking all the time. Every time it occurs is after we run the motor for more than 30 minutes and stop it for 10 minutes or so. Then it is not consistent, yesterday it...

Hey Yall: I take my boat to an authorized factory Yammaha service dealer which is not a Grady dealer as the nearest one is 3.5 hours away. Took my boat in for her first 100 hours service a couple weeks ago. since then, every now and then after running the engine for 30 minutes or more...
