Chris,
You're truly an inspiration!
I have the exact boat, except an 89 230. I'm in love with mine, but I treat it much more like a tank, than you obviously do. For the last year I've been thinking of buying a different "newer" Grady as a lot of little things are pissing me off about my boat... but after looking at your photo-essay, I have to say I may take on some of the things myself....
.... or I may just buy a post 2005 Grady..
Awesome job buddy!
