My 2008 with a F250 4.2 Yamaha and power tec 4 blade prop I can cruise at 30 at 3,900 to 4,000 RPM Boat tops at 47 at WOT.

I take my 228 everywhere . Pick your days and watch the weather. If it looks iffy don't go. I routinely fish out of Florida's east coast and the Keys with it. It works well for our purposes. We travel up to 30-40 off. I have taken it to the Bahamas a couple times and the Dry Tortugas .

Thanks.

Hey Yall: I got a call from Glacier this past Monday checking in on me. He said a few folks were wondering about us. I live on a mountain stream called Caney Fork . We are at the bottom and have a few acres in pasture. The creek rose by my estimates between 10 and 12 feet above its base...

Hey Yall, This summer I was in the Keys and I lost one of those rubber stoppers you insert into the overboard drains in the ice chest fish box on the boat. I went to the Grady dealer in Islamorada and they didn't carry that style . I have been to Lowes as well. So, in mid 2000s Gradys they...

Question, I noticed a low speed vibration this boating season . I honestly did not think much of it. So, did they replace the power cushion hub assembly? I thought the rods are part of the rubber insert. Are they separate?

That's a negative ghost rider. Don't do it. The shorter the cable run between the motor and batteries the better. Even if you run 2AWG. Like others said flooded batteries will drop a plate with all the bouncing in the bow. The bow is what takes the force of the wave energy and disperses it...

We have it to retract with a bonnet against the hard top. I have two marine bungy chords with stainless hardware. I upgraded to a a nearly flush quick disconnect mount on the gunwhale so you could walk on top of it or when fishing that the line won't catch it. I use my boat maybe 40% for...

I just had an aft Bimini made. Old school.

Greetings Both my 12 volt cigarette outlets are not functioning on the boat. Yes, I checked fuses but I think it's more like they just corroded out. Has anyone replaced their outlets on these models? I am thinking the best way is to pop those screw caps off and unscrew those plastic side...

I use my more to cruise, play , hang out at the sandbar than to fish. It's the nature of being a family boater I suppose . I am going for an extended stay in the Keys on Monday and had this custom Sunbrella top made for the aft of the boat . Its made of 1/2 inch stainless tubing with low...

I hear you good sir. My wife wants a pontoon boat . . I am like sure but I an keeping the Grady. Enjoy the season and the boat while you can.

I took my 228 to Lee msyve 8 years ago for new Strataglass curtains. AJ did a great job and they are in great shape today.

My factory Grady was what ever clear vinyl they used. They took abuse and it showed. I replaced them with Strataglass. They are much improved on the durability and clarity. I recommend the material.

I have a call into Grady about this as well. Waiting for a reply. I have one good one and the other I need to find . It was cracking as well. Thanks guys. Doc, how are things going with you guys?

New Motors = New Boat. It's going to be far cheaper to repower than to buy a new bigger boat. That hull is laud up with composite stern and stringers. It's got a lot of life in her. If you have the means, I vote repower. Two things will happen your enjoyment will significantly increase on the...

Hey Yall, I have a call into Grady about getting those insert trays/pans under the stern seats . I am doubtful they will be still available unless they are currently used for other boats in production. If they are not available, what have you guys done to maximize that space for storage? Are...

My advice , write the President and copy your dealer owner. Be polite and professional and offer them some ideas for your satisfaction and resolution to the problem. Tell Chris all the things you love about the boat and ask her for her help in solving this problem. Tell her you are writing her...

Seasick, I was testing the float switch . I knew the pump was fine. As you know , the separate float switch is wired to a hot 12 v side of the battery and has its own dedicated in line fuse . But, your observation is spot on here .

Those push button switches kept failing on mine. There was a point where I just said heck with it. I called my nearest Grady dealer and I ordered what ever the new touch LED was at the time and what Grady was installing on their boats in 2017 . I paid a premium but the LED cockpit light has a...
