Here’s a pic of when I mounted a transom saver to my 215. For the transducer itself, I used a level to project the hull bottom and set the transducer height with the front of the transducer’s mid-line even with the hull bottom and the rear of the transducer slightly lower than the hull bottom...

I just tried. “Server Not Found”

I have a 12k lb Hi-Tide lift and kept a Back Cove 29 on it for a few years. Boat was 10k lbs, 9’6” beam. I think lifts have an amount of safety factor built in to their ratings and should hold their rated capacity. When I was selecting my lift there were small price increments by upping motor...

My main polisher is a Flex. I think the model is #3401, which is their 6” model. They do make a smaller version. Expensive. Excellent quality.

I found the raised name and gw logo on Etsy. They were 3D printed.

This is from an Edgewater 248CX I had. Factory option, so not much help on how it’s installed.

Welcome! Post some pics when you get her.

I probably just take a battery operated impact gun and move the stand all the way forward. Load the boat where you want it on the trailer then move the stand back to the boat, tighten the wench stand there. Assuming it’s a bunk trailer, not a roller.

I looked at these at the Charleston boat show. They’re a local company: https://laporteproducts.com/shop-boat-shades/ Their shade package was $750. Not sure if it will work for your boat, but I’ve bought a Console curtain from them and it was high quality.

Uneducated guess from reading their product literature…switch for the reclining backrest? It may be electric.

Ambitious project! Looks great and functional.

Both. Ideally, assuming it’s used. First is a contract with the seller and likely a refundable deposit contingent on a survey by a marine surveyor and successful sea trial.

I did a quick search on BoatTrader and that seems to be in the range of dealer asking prices, but too many unknown variables to give you a definitive answer. 200 hours is about average use for a boat used recreationally.

No, I’ve owned quite a few. I have a short attention span when it comes to boats… This is my third Grady. As to ride, comfort in the bow at 30 mph depends on sea conditions, and as a new captain you should take things easy and learn techniques like quartering wakes, trimming the hull for best...

I ordered a 215 last year. Delivered in early August, my hull is #807. Introduced in 2018, Grady has made quite a few 215’s and you should be able to find a nice used one. It’s a very comfortable boat for 6 adults without knocking knees. CG rating is 8 adults. SV2 Hull handles nicely in less...

Heading to the Charleston boat show Saturday. I have a buddy that we try to go every year that drives down from Columbia. The show is decent size. Takes up all the convention center and about double that outside. Usually a good mix of boats and accessories.

My grandson driving. He loves the Edson knob.

I had a 2015/2016 with a hardtop and there was enough headroom for me. I’m 6’3”. Iirc, did have to bend a bit for throttle adjustments.

Here’s a pic of FP dealers from FP’s website. Looks like there’s only 1 in NJ. Not sure if feasible for you, but when I needed a Panda gen serviced I found who had the service contract for our local Coast Guard station and ended up hiring a tech from them. Glad I did, as it was quite challenging...

New Wire is local to me. Had them do an entire dash panel and it turned out awesome. They can laser etch whatever you want on switch covers. Get the plastic tool to get them off the switch body, too.
