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!


Thanks for that bit of info. I thought it was my computer, but didn't feel
like following up on it.

A question. Grady White has a reputation for a high quality, if overpriced,
boat. Given that, wouldn't they have put a lot of thought into which engine
they choose to put on the transom? If it's just cost, don't you think they
could have worked out a pretty good deal with Evinrude, just for the
additional status given to Evinrude?
