    Treat a Holding Tank Regularly ?

    Fortunately, Winterizing is NOT a “Known Need” in West Central Florida :-) However, leaving BOTH the Fresh Water and Holding / Black Water Tanks “treated” for Florida’s extreme summer heat if away, is a Need

    Seakeeper Ride on a GW Freedom 235 ?

    Anyone put the Seakeeper Ride system on a GW Freedom 235 ? I would like to get to a GW Freedom 325, Pursuit DC326 or Southport 33DC in the next couple of years in the meantime, I’ve read numerous posts contending that the SK Ride System creates a ride similar to a 10 foot longer boat

    New Grady debut at the end of the month. Big, little, or in-between?

    One thing I prefer in the new Freedom 345 vs the Freedom 335 is that the windshield incorporates into the Hardtop, no need for any eisen or strato glass….. However, the 335 offers Twin 450s asan Option Trips opens up a new, more expensive Insurance Experience

    Electronics Recommendations for GW 235 Freedom

    From a redundancy standpoint, two separate 8612s would be preferable At retail 8612 is $3,600 and an 8612xsv is $4,100 = $7,700 A 9219 is $10,000 plus say a GCV 20 sonar plus transducer at $630 The 9219 costs say $3,000 more, and while only one screen, the 4K subdivides very well into 2 to 6...

    Electronics Recommendations for GW 235 Freedom

    The Garmin 9000 Series Chart Plotters start at 19 inch screens ONLY ONE Garmin 9219 “can fit,” by a skilled installer, on a Grady White Freedom 235 The 4K Resolution and a screen that will subdivide into 4 or more screens works very well, given the 4K resolution, particularly in bright sunlight

    Garmin’s 9219 Chart Plotter, with the right installer, will fit in a Grady White Freedom 235, after I was told by others it would not fit Shiptronics in Naples, Florida installed one for me The 9219 is spectacular

    Anyone fit a 17 “ MFD (Garmin 2817) on a Freedom 285?

    Garmin 9219 Chart Plotter 18” X 12” x 2.5” Shiptronics in Naples, Florida made it work The 9219 is overkill for a GW 235, but I’m very happy with it, the 4K screen subdivides well into 4 very readable screens
