I'm currently trying to solve the same issue with ping pong ball scruppers. Design flaw. Physics and gravity are pretty predictiable. Other boats I've had never did this and have more freeboard. The Seafarer needs a higher deck and higher gunnels.

Looks like Sea Choice makes some big 3" ball scuppers but they don't have the twist lock clean out feature. They would have to be screwed to remove then resealed which sounds like a pain. Plus I don't like that brand. https://amzn.to/43UXUGX The ring idea sound pretty good! I have bottom paint...

I should look for bigger, diameter ones that would be a timesaver. Not sure they exist. I got these on the closeout deal and they actually match the hull.

Great idea with the rings Dennis. I have brand new flappers, so they’re not gonna get any better than they are. They’re pretty much underwater a lot of the time because of all the weight. I may try that with the starboard rings. Definitely don’t want to drill into the bronze thru hulls in case...

Has anybody install these Flomax ping pong ball style scuppers? My issue is the Grady scuppers are a metal thru hull style that’s going to be very hard to remove. In fact, I have to drill through the flange of it if I want to install these with it there. I think they made to screw into the...

Thanks for sharing your opinion. Where are you located?

Thanks I’m definitely going to install one in my Seafarer. I just spent two nights at the coast on my friends C Dory in without his diesel heater we would’ve froze! My Grady will never have a pilothouse, but it can have heat!

232 Grady, How did you run ducts from the port side to the starboard side helm? Under the deck or in the cuddy. I'd like to do that without cutting up my deck. Got any photos of that? Also, where did you mount your heater unit, didn't see that. thanks?

Yeah, I agree with Garmin bought Navionics. I wish they had changed their charts to look exactly like Navionics. I’ve been using the app for three years and I love it. I pay 20 bucks for every year. I only use it for bottomfish season, but also armchair, navigating calculating gas burn to...

Yamaha makes one too. I used to have one. Very handy for knowing when your impeller is wearing out. They are on ebay.

It sure is a pain to mess with the livewell! But I've never had so many problems until today. I installed a 1 1/2" valve on the drain incase of failure at the dock. Anyway after replacing the 22 year old broken inlet fitting, Then twisting it after sealing it leaks. More of a problem is the 22...

Pics or it never happened! Following!

Post on Craiglist in Seattle, it will sell.

Ya look at the Fusion 10" it had the smallest cutout area of the 10"s I looked at. BTW in my last boat I had a 12" in the cabin. Even with the door open it did not sound that good. But lots of room in there. Maybe if I had a bigger amp it would be fine. I noticed the Fusion likes a lot more...

With all the amazing power banks now I'd get one of those rather than drain my boat's batteries. Check out Ecoflow, that are one of the leading brands. Each model is rated for a certain number of hours on a CPAP. Rated for 10 hours: https://amzn.to/3H5wipl $180 off coupon now.

Awesome pilothouse I want one too!

Hi Cary, What shaft length did you get?

Don has the perfect location. I mounted mine too close to the rear rod holder to use it w/ DRs. I'm pretty serious about fishing though so don't think Scottys look bad. I have a system that locks mine on for thieves as well. Those gimbal mounts are easy to steal as well.

Great photos! I'm not sure what I like more the girls or the giant fishing reel!

Sounds like you've done all your homework. Agree with all you thoughts, potential uses and assement of the current Grady line. I use my boat similarly with the family half the time then fishing the other. Love the trailerability, very important to me. A 225hp fourstroke is enough power to tube...
