    In need of a casting platfom for 08 273 chase

    Location?? If you make your own and use plywood, you can topcoat it with a polyurethane top coat. I made a replacement transom for my brother's RIB using 1" plywood, then sealed with urethane primer and finished with a urethane top coat. It came out decent and looks like it's made of something...

    Question for GW 306 Canyon Owners

    The boat has the standard props and the engines look to be mounted correctly. I will have my local GW dealer verify it when they paint the bottom. The bottom is painted. There is a spotlight, two VHF antennas, a RADAR and FLIR camera on the t-top. Not much other gear, as I tend to run light...

    Question for GW 306 Canyon Owners

    Hi, According to the Yamaha Performance Bulletin for a 306 Canyon with twin 350s the performance should be a shown below, which is mostly reflected in my real world experience with the boat. Whether you have twin F300s or F350s, how close would you say your performance is to below? Also, what...

    Considering Grady White...would like some feedback

    Hi, I am not so sure this is true. My dock neighbor had a 27' DC. I believe it is the same hull as the CC. I could be wrong, though. J

    Where to put the phone

    Something to consider... Get a small waterproof camera... It's much easier to use, always at the ready, doesn't need to be unlocked and reduces the chances of damaging your phone (or dropping it overboard).

    Considering Grady White...would like some feedback

    Hi, I have a 2018 GW 306 Canyon with twin F350s. The boat is a beast. It rides great in all conditions. If it isn't riding great, then you are going too fast for the current conditions. At least one person on THT said the GW 306 pounds. Again, if you are pounding a nearly 10,000 pound boat...

    Used freedom 235

    I was simply saying that because of the large increases in prices in the past two years, I wouldn't be so quick to say that the one listed for $135 on BT is down $40k from new. I'd be willing to bet that $135 is close to what the boat sold for new in 2018. No, I wasn't coming the 306 to the...

    Used freedom 235

    " Per Boat Trader, a brand new 2022 GW 235 Freedom is right around $172k and if this one is priced anywhere near the other 2018 on Boat Trader at $135k, that's almost a loss of $40k in just a couple of years." Not exactly right.. IMO A used 2021 GW Canyon 306 is approx. 50% more than what I...

    Used freedom 235

    Get a survey. 1. You never know what may have happened to the boat. 2. It is good to have as proof of condition for insurance (make sure the surveyor has the proper credentials). 3. If the surveyor finds even one thing wrong, you can negotiate it into the price. 4. Piece of mind.

    Possibility of making an "open forum" for non - Grady White topics of conversation?

    How about this? Add an open forum that is only open to those who subscribe for a fee. I might be a nice way to fund and support GG. Just a thought.. :)

    This boat might be an option for you (might be out of budget, though). The Grady dealer who has it is Baert Marine. They are very good people. https://www.baertmarine.com/default.asp?page=xPreOwnedInventoryDetail&id=11185015&p=1&s=Year&d=D&t=preowned&fr=xPreOwnedInventory

    WTB Express 360 any suggestions or comments?

    In February of last year (2021), I began looking at what is now my current boat (GW 306 Canyon). It is equipped with twin 2018 Yamaha F350 ("C" generation motors). I asked the service manager at the Yamaha dealer and the owner of the dealer that was servicing my prior boat and motor (2012...

    new to boating-

    Hi, welcome I am pretty sure a GW 235 is only available with a single engine. I think it would be perfect for your intended uses. However, for the water skiing, be aware that the 235 is going to throw a good size wake. Regarding the garage door opening: "The federal government recommends...
