Been a whole year

[RussGW270]

So, today marks the 1-year mark since we "signed on the dotted line" on our new to us Grady. While it has been a heck of a roller coaster getting her ready, I think it has been worth every step.

So, here she is, before and after. I have trailer bearings incoming to rebuild those and by the time that is done, we should be free to roam amongst the world again and we will be planning our first trip to the coast.

We have not picked where we will go, either Galveston or Port Aransas, probably.. but I may see what other Grady folks are out there and coordinate so we have some more experienced Grady folks to share the first trip with. At that time, I hope to have a few show up and get some awesome Drone videos and camera shots

Enjoy the day and be safe!

Enjoy!! I must say fixing it up and customizing to suit your needs makes it special.

I can honestly say I am excited for you to actually get her in the water!

I have the new stripes.. may use this quarantine time to clean the hull again and re-add them. Trying to bring her back to oem, but a lot of small things I just cannot find unless I spend a lot of money. All in good time.

Looks great. That is a really interesting way to trailer a trailer in the first picture. Small margin for error.

Yea, I was not happy about the way they delivered it but man, had they tried pulling it and had a blowout with the brakes bad...so, all is well that ends well.
