I am considering putting a power pole (likely a Minn Kota Raptor actually) on my 2005 225 Tournament. Anyone have this setup and have any pointers? I will mostly use it fishing and when making short stops or when near the boat. When leaving the boat, I would still have a bow anchor out. Does...

Thanks. Carver is who I am looking at, and they do custom covers, but their skirts are all universal. So I have to pick a specific length.

I am about to purchase a 2005 225 Tournament and will store it outside. Before I order a boat skirt, does anyone have the dimensions of the sides? In other words, I know the boat is 22' 2" bow to stern, and about 8' wide. So, using half the width, or 4', I need 26' 2" plus the front cover of...

Thank you for the picture. Would not have thought to go that wide, but makes sense given the lesser V in the back half of the hull. Thanks

THanks Seasick, appreciate the insights.

I am purchasing a 2005 Grady White 225 Tournament. It does not come with a trailer, so I will have to show up with a trailer ready to pick it up. I will be using an EZ Loader, aluminum I-beam, made for 21-24 foot boats. It comes standard with two bunks (12' long) and I can add two centering...

Thanks for including those links Mustang. I knew I had previously seen all the weights the same. What I was looking at is the owners manuals off the GW website. Per the link below, the 2006 225 shows a lower hull weight (sorry, think I typed higher at some point in this thread)...

I am only comparing different year 225's. The 2006 225 shows as lighter than the 2007 and newer on the GW manuals.

Thank you all for the replies. I have compared the manuals off the Grady website and that is where I noticed the difference. Yes, dimensions are the same. You all might be on to something with the options comment. That said, not sure what options on this boat would add up to over 500 lbs.

I am in the market for a 225 Tournament and just noticed a change pre vs post 2007 models. The 2006 and before list a hull weight of about 2,875 lbs while the 2007+ are 3,450 lbs. Any know what changed?

And thank you for the engine information.

I believe I had read the use of wood was reduced in 2007. Is that accurate?

A little background...I currently own a Scout 172 Dorado (very shallow running boat). It has been great, but our small family is no longer small so we are looking for more space. Key points: Boat mainly in NC, but also FL, fresh and saltwater Fishing: mostly shallow areas (very shallow in...
