    New Switch Panel 228 Seafarer

    I had an entire dash panel made by New Wire. This is a Freedom 225. The switches were originally in two rows on top of each other. I didn’t have to change the factory wiring for the new locations for the switches. I did have to relocate the module for the trim tabs so cabling could reach it’s...

    What trailer should I buy?

    Need the weight. Quick search showed hull @ 5,300 lbs + motors + fuel + gear + accessories + trailer itself. My guess is you’re approaching 10,000 lbs., triple axle territory. For long term storage, bunks, assuming saltwater use, aluminum.

    SeaStar Steering Problem

    I had a Sea Hunt that had a similar trait. Once you hit 4000 rpm it was difficult to steer to port and easy to starboard. Thats the nature of prop torque steer. There are solutions. Sea Star makes a booster pump. When I priced for that boat it was ~$3000 installed. I passed. There are also...

    CL7 Freedom 235 engine display blinking fuel

    Not sure if ours are identical displays, but under an “information” selection there’s another called “tanks” that will also give you a % of fuel in the tank. if you’re doing this underway or while the boat is rocking the reading is going to fluctuate due to the fuel moving around.

    Comparable pricing model

    Relative to model year, boats manufactured this month through May of next year are 2025’s, so a 2023 is now a 2 year old boat. I don’t think that has a huge impact on value as automobiles do.

    running transducer cable 2024 232 Gulfstream

    On mine, a 215, I first opened up the console to see which tubes from the bilge fed the console. Mine had two tubes, both opening up in the console and I used the inboard tube. Ran the snake from the console to the bilge and pulled.the transducer cable plus a nylon pull rope so I wouldn’t need...

    Where can I find this

    At least one of the patents is Grady’s from 2002, so likely a single source item. They look decent….out of sight, out of mind?

    Grady 275 Freedom rolling issue

    The trim tab push buttons have LED‘s that indicate the position of each tab. Instead of holding a button down until seeing a change in the attitude of the boat, bump the button a few times and confirm the tab moved a LED or two. Pause to see the effect on running attitude, then bump again if...

    Trailer set up for 2005 Grady 225 Tournament

    Not sure if this will help you much since I don’t have measurements. i bought this for a 2015-16 Freedom 225 from Charleston Trailer. Main bunks are “pidgeon towed” (closer together towards front) a few inches to provide more contact to the SV2 hull.

    Average discounts in today’s market? 235 Freedom

    Grady dealers are bound by contract to only sell to buyers that reside in their exclusive territories. They’re not going to risk losing a premium line to poach a single boat in to another dealers territory.
