    Marine plug? I thought that went into the aft bottom so water would stay out, I didn't know there was such a thing as marine plugs, how about champion L77JC4's? They seem to work well.

    Good Stuff

    Hello Boating Friends. Two months ago I got my first boat (I am still a wannabe) a Grady White 20' Dolphin for a dollar. My best friend was in an accident and is paralyzed and said "Irv you can have it, enjoy!) That was 12 years ago and the boat was in the woods and out of the water since '94. I...

I even suggested to my friend helping that it looks as if i could bend them right into the line but neither of us have any experience in that area. And Big Red I thought about doing...

    I have a 20 ft Grady needing bow rails replaced and am clueless, there is not much of a bend but 1 inch pipe probably doesn't bend that easy. Mine looks like 2 seperate pieces but i'm not sure whether to take them off and find what i need or drag the boat somewhere and say "will you please order...
