The new program does issue a blue decal. The yellow decal program was issued under the first iteration of the program when TC actually came out and did the first compliance inspection and left the annual self inspection to the operator. Now you are responsible for a full on self inspection in year one, and once passed you do your own annual inspection and keep that on your vessel and just send in the short form to confirm you have completed. Unless I mis-read the latest version of the program, this is good for 5 years before you need to do the full inspection and send in the details. So TC is slowly evolving the process to make it simple and fairly painless...but with that comes accountability for the operator to do it correctly.
Stability is fairly simple. They have a guide to follow. If your Grady is newer than 2005, you can go and down load the stability testing on line as all manufacturers are required to do this testing to ISO standards past 2005 if my memory is correct. Beyond this you also need all the TC training requirements and C number for your vessel. Also there is apparently a new book out which explains the self inspection process step by step according to what one of my buddies told me the other day.
You may also want to consider doing the CTAG Certification. You can challenge the CTAG program if you have all the TC training requirements and 750 hours on the water working as a Guide. We are currently organizing an info session for West Coast Fishing Guide Association members who specifically want to challenge the CTAG. At the moment there are roughly 10 guys who are planning to attend. Aiming for an evening in early January, likely on weekend as some folks have School and work commitments. Can pm me if you are interested.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Yes it's the new Blue decal program. The boat is a 2001 so the stability might be a bit of an issue to go thru. Don't expect any real issues. I will look into the book that guides you thru the process. The C number is in the works. Am also a 60 ton and CTAG paper work is in and I am waiting for a date for the tests. Thanks for the detailed info.

No worries. Stab test should be a breeze, lots of those boats have passed. I think your year may have been close to when Grady switched over from plastic thru hulls to s/s. Buddy of mine has same boat and he had plastic which have to be replaced due to plastic one's splitting with no visible signs of damage - his did. Good luck.
