That was the main reason i sold my 2008 dlv238 with only 8 hours, don't get me wrong, the boat is very good at what was intended to do, just i was wrong buying the DLV for whar i wanted to use it for. Oh well............, the Grady goes everywhere

I've seen your Grady and it looks great. I'm getting tired of getting wet and I'm currently negociating with a guy (83 yrs old) for his 87 24' Privateer. This particular model is a shallow draft and a 9'1" beam. It's a real good boat for the flats. The only drawback is a 200 hp Merc (2005) 2 stroke. It only has 40 hrs on it, but I really like my Yamaha 4 stroke economy. I don't know if I'm ready to go back to 1-2 mpg. You'll love the V20. Good luck and if I can help you, let me know. I've rebuilt 2 of them. This site is great for help and a good bunch of guys.

Thanks, that Privateer IS a very solid boat, but another draw back that they pound a lot, same as the skiff. My cousin had one, an old model in the 80's and we took that boat everywhere, you can throw whatever mother nature wants to this boat and it will not budge, but you should have a chiropractor in the family, otherwise you gonna end up with a huge bill.

I was busy the last couple of days fixing the trailer fenders. They were all rusted on top, so i removed them and glass the top and bottom, then i will paint them with some Interlux gray color.

Also removed the electric winch which was not working, took it apart, lubricated and now is good as new, all i'm waiting for is a set of clucth washers.
I also replaced the two bow rollers with new ones.

Also removed the plastic cover around the motor well and getting it ready to glass over a new piece.
