I am not sure how many banks a charger should be for my boat. I have gotten different opinions from dealer, vendors, and internet 'gurus' I have twin engines and four batteries. There is one battery for the port engine, a second for the stbd motor and two parallel batteries for the house and...

Does anyone have any feedback on the ODB IScan diagnostic product? I am looking for something to work with 2020 F200 XCA . Apparently the Yamaha YDS software is not compatible with that model year. I would prefer something laptop based but haven't found anything that is reasonably priced both...

Here's wishing all of you and your families a happy holiday and healthy New Year.

About two years or more ago, I started to toy with the idea of a newer boat. I had the 2001 208 Adventure and another brand 25 ft walk around cabin. The 25 footer had Optimax twin motors, the 208 had the trusty SX 150, OX66. My wife had a few complaints about each model. We both agreed that the...

Dear Gang, I am feeling quite guilty posting on this form. Recently I sold my Grady and non Grady and started a search for a replacement. Bottom line is that I recently did purchase a newer boat but not a Grady. So here I am asking if there is a rule that says that you have to own a Grady to...

Can anyone recommend a good surveyor who covers the eastern end of Long Island, specifically the Hamptons area? Thanks for your feedback.

After several years of above average increasing demand, inventory challenges, and inflated pricing, I think I am now seeing changes in the boat market. I usually judge by the amount of asking price decreases and those seem to be increasing. There are a few shows coming up over the next several...

There is lots of feedback on 275s but not much on 285s. I ask because of a post I read about a member who is selling his late model 275 and buying a 285. Is the 275 that bad or is the 285 that good:) I originally thought the 285 was the updated version of the 275 but it is a different beast and...

Here is a link to a 208 for sale at the Jersey shore I know this boat very well:) https://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/boa/d/ocean-gate-2001-grady-white-208/7739043337.html

I went to the NY Boat Show on Wednesday, opening day. Here are my overall initial thoughts. Granted I did go the first day and early but nevertheless there were no crowds. Quite the opposite. I left at about 5PM and the attendance had picked up but still not very crowded. Pretty much every...

There seems to be a strange blip on the radar and I couldn't figure out what it was until I realized what day it is. Ho ho ho To all a wonderful holiday season.

I have a buddy who has a Simrad NS EVO2 plotter with Navionics maps. The unit is maybe 5 or 6 years old. When the unit is powered up, it reverts to the out of the box configuration (initial config). If you redo your desired config, it works fine until you shut it off. When you turn it back on...

I have started an "Oprah's favorite things" list If you have a favorite, add it to the list. There are no rules except it should be something you frequently recommend.(preferable, something that you want on your boat). Per Seasick... A 12 volt test lamp Per Dennis... Butyl tape Per Skunk... A...

I wen to the show today, got there at about 12:30. The show opened at noon. The lobby of the Javits Center was eerily uncrowded. Maybe everyone was inside. No, it was just super uncrowded, more so that any other years, including last year. One of the sales rep told me that attendance was...

I will be attending the NY Boat Show this Friday. Tomorrow morning I will post a picture of the cap I will be wearing:) So if you at the show on Friday and you see someone who might be me, just ask; "Are you Seasick?"

Wishing all of you happy holidays, fair winds, and following seas.

nevermind:)

I have been looking for something to get in place of my two older boats, a 2001 208 and a 2006 25 foot WA, not a Grady boat:) I am at an age and physical state that I can't do all the maintenance and I need something newer with 'fewer' issues. In addition, it has become too much work to maintain...

I see the following message in a few poSts ' You are ignoring content by this member. Show ignored content' What does it mean ?

I always check my signal devices such as flares for expiration dates but if I read the news latest, the Coast Guard has modified the fire extinguisher regs for recreation boats. If I read them correctly, your fire extinguishers must not be more than 12 years old. That sounds like a long time...
