    Is there a repair kit for small chips in the fiberglass?

    I got caught in the wind and caught by bow and got a chip the size of a dime on the bow just above the rubber rub rail. Is there a repair kit for this that works well?

    When does a repower not make economic sense?

    The original owner was a Made In America type who insisted on Evinrude engines. I was raised on Johnsons so the 2 cycle issue was okay with me. I didnt count on the nonsense overengineered electronic steering etc that has plagued these motors.

    When does a repower not make economic sense?

    I have a 2016 285 Freedom in very good shape that are cursed with a pair of BRP 250hp motors. They are so unreliable and parts and labor so scarce that I either need to sell the boat or repower with Yamaha's. If I repower it appears that twin 300's makes the most sense. My question is am I...

    Why am I not getting a full tank in my Freedom 285?

    I ran the tank in my 2016 to empty and was able to fill with 175 gallons when the pump stopped. All data says the tank is 201 yet it seems that I am 25 gallons short. Does this make any sense?

    First question from new Grady owner

    Just purchased my first Grady White boat, 2016 Freedom 285, and love the fit and finish. However the one item that keeps nagging is the latch that is supposed to keep the bi-fold door to the bow seating area closed while underway. Every time I hit a decent wave the latch will pop loose and the...
