Was just doing some random google searches and came across this on the actual Grady White website. "Despite the fact every Grady-White is unsinkable thanks to sprayed-in foam flotation, you can swamp the boat and encounter an uncomfortable situation."...

I kinda like the idea of having one large screen in front and a smaller screen in the upper bin area for sonar. Question though, can both display sonar off a single transducer? I thought I've read that you want to link the screens together via their ethernet port vs the nmea backbone. I...

Didn't think it would be such a hot topic. But lots of good info, so thank you.

I saw your write up on mounting the 12" display. Very nice and clean

Thanks for the replies, guess I have some thinking to do. As I mentioned the boat I'm looking at does have the older Simrad AP11. For the research I've done, when upgrading the electronics, I'll also need to upgrade the AP. Though I have seen some people state that I could use the existing AP...

I see quite a few, if not most of Grady's with 2 displays. I assume on the older ones that is before they were multi-functioning displays (seperate chart plotter and depthsounder). Obviously anything newer is going to be MFD's. Is that for redundancy having 2 smaller displays vs 1 larger one...

Will the surveyor have access without having to pull the deck hatch to inspect the fuel tanks, or does that need to be pulled up?

Thank you. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, so sounds like most of the stuff you've done is in my wheelhouse if needed. It doesn't sound like pulling the fuel tanks to replace is a difficult thing to do. I see a place that sells the pair for $3200. Though I'm wondering if those are...

I scheduled the survey on the 2000 265 express. I made sure to mention to him about my concerns with the transom, as I know that is a problem area with the aluminum cap corroding and getting moisture in there. I'm also going to mention to him about the fuel tanks, as I'm not sure if that's a...

I'm looking at a 265 in Washington state. I've used the https://www.marinesurvey.org/ and spoke with a couple of guys that service the area the boat is located in. Both guys seem knowledgeable but seem to be more old school train of thought. Using mallets and golf balls to "listen" to the...

Still looking, but still working on selling my boat before i can pull the trigger on one

For what I can tell the difference in weight between say a OX66 250 and those Suzuki 300s is about 130ish lbs each. I guess my concern would be not only the extra 250lbs hanging off the transom, but can the transom handle that much more power without damaging it? A friend of mine is having his...

I've been looking for a 265 for a bit now. They hardly ever come up for sale here on the west coast. When they do, they are usually way over priced. Kind of like this one. Though I didn't think these were even rated for 600hp...

Yeah, I believe it is a swim platform. I asked them to try and get a picture of the transom underneath of that too see if it has a crack in the same area as the starboard side.

Looking at another 265 express and had him send me pictures of the transom area. Below the aluminum bang cap on the starboard side, appears to be a crack.. On the port side, above the cap appears to maybe be a few stress cracks. Thoughts?

I've seen this one for sale, looks clean, but feeling it might be a little underpowered with 150s. Thoughts? https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2000-grady-white-265-express-8396310/

If i was to pick this boat up for a decent price and repower. Has anyone recently done a repower with twin zuke 200s? A little research has shown its in about the 35-40k range? Are these OX66 250s worth anything in the used department?

So I went and looked at the boat over the weekend. Pretty clean overall, but the engine covers definitely look aged. When the powerheads were replaced, it also got new fuel lines and some other parts. The rust on the fold down transom is from the cheap hardware on the transom shock mounts...

There is another on boat trader with twin Honda 150s. That seems like it might be a bit underpowered

Yeah, mostly nearshore, but do a few offshore runs when the albacore show up.
