letter Y on 228G

[wrxhoon]

We got a big Blue marlin 2 weeks ago. He managed to hit the Grady White on the starboard side and I lost the letter Y. Does anyone know if I can buy just the letter Y?

Sorry wrxhoon but more photos of the offending fish will be required before the information you request can be revealed.

Hi,
I doubt it. You'll likely need to replace the whole thing. You could shoot GW a Cust Service an email and check. Maybe they have a damaged one hanging around that they go grab the letter from?

Sorta seems like it makes for a cool story to leave it how it is

Nah, we gotta have the gory details. I know if I could ply him with Irish Whiskey, I could get the story out of him.

I can tell you that when I damaged a "G" on my 2018 306, they sent me a replacement for free.

Send them a photo of your boat and the Marlin and ask for a "Y".

I have Grady White lettering off my 1997 Islander when I painted it. They are hanging up in my trailer and will now be used. Check size and I'll check mine. You are welcome to them.

Thanks for the offer but I think they are different. Mine are thick made out of some metal not plastic.
Thanks for the advice JJF.
I will contact Grady and see what they say.

You asked for more pics. Short video on for a couple days . Unfortunately the only time he splashed was when he took the lure . Didn't see him until we had him by the side of the boat 2.5 hours later. Going on length we estimated about 180 kg (400 lb)

You've got this style?

 

[wrxhoon]

That's the one John. I think 228's post 2012 have this style. Maybe earlier boats as well? The fish knocked the Y and the dash (-) next to it off but we retrieved the -. Looks like they come with double sided tape.
