Sadly, that's it for the Grady.
Too bad.
Now, onto other boats.

I was really young, but I think my uncle bought a new Edsel that had
that same color scheme.
I think that is the first (apparently professional) website I have
ever seen that was written so poorly as to only display in micro$oft's
browser.
When it didn't display in FoxFire, I checked the index page and it
failed validation with 539 errors.
I hope they do better with the boats!
That is one butt-ugly boat, and what's with the huge decks on top of the
gunnels, or are those optical illusions?
Forgot...I love this part:
· Triple F350 Yamaha's - 67mph
· Triple F250 Yamaha's - 58mph
· Twin F350 Yamaha's - 56mph
· Triple 250 Evinrude ETEC's - 58mph
· Triple 300 Evinrude ETEC's -- TBA
Not because of the high speeds, which are sort of silly, but because of
the fuel burn that sort of hardware implies. What do we have here, 50
gallons an hour at cruise to go fishing? Insanity.
It *kinda* makes sense, if you can find conditions suitable to go
offshore at 70mph without pounding your kidneys into your hip pockets.
Here, we have to go out 30 miles to get into the Gulf Stream. A fast
trip out gives more time on the water to fish... and the professional
and tournament fishing guys are always looking for more speed.
Fuel burn (gph) goes through the roof, but the MPG figure stays pretty
steady for a given hull.
You want silly? Look at Fountain fishing boats.... go-fasts with rod
holders.

A friend of a friend bought their last years team tournament boat, it
is down in CT. I guess my bud had use of the boat but after a couple
70 mph trips to the race, they decided the gas was too much for his
boating
