Well earlier in the year I picked up a Grady white 228 2003 with a Yamaha 225. Found an outstanding Yamaha technician to go through it and replace the exhaust and few other seals.
Left the San Francisco Bay area July 22 picked up the new trailer from Owens and brothers in Florida on July 25th at 8 A.m. then proceeded to go to Savannah Georgia got to see the boat for the first time I had it detailed at Billy‘s above water detailing wow look awesome. Ran the boat for a half hour performed awesome, put it on the trailer and wow went on really nicely Owens trailer fit perfectly.
Spent couple days At John’s Yamaha technician yard doing some updates on the boat and maintenance installing new VHF radio and antennas, And some electrical minor issues with the help of Brain Great Grady.
Put the boat in the water the next 2 Days probably traveled just under 30 miles boat and motor performed excellent. Tried catching fish but with the hurricane coming Fishing was off,probably traveled just under 30 miles boat and motor performed excellent. Tried catching fish but with the hurricane coming fishing was off.
Start packing up on July 29 Next morning July 30 8 o’clock hooked up the boat and headed to California to beat the hurricane Went to Atlanta met ( Parthery ) For lunch he took a look at my 228 Check it out gave me a thumbs up and said I did good on this purchase
I had a great conversation with Parthery My driving partner and I Continued on our way hit some severe rain storms was not expecting rain this time of year coming from California but wow ,first stop was at. Kentucky lake pretty easy driving Boat was easy to Trailer. Second day more rain often on really long day of 14 hours of driving stopped in Nebraska very uneventful trailer and boat traveling very easy but I do enjoy driving long distances and long days really interesting seeing all these states for the first time Took the northern route home to go to Reno, stopped at Utah Nevada border for the night missed seeing the salt flats during the daylight. Left at 6 AM done this drive before from here arrived in Reno at 2 PM dropped off at the boat at TNT auto and boat painting to get the boat bottom paint removed very professional I will pick up the boat in about 2 1/2 weeks continued to San Francisco Bay area arrived home around 5:30 can’t wait to pick her up, Very successful trip!
