They finally released this model. At least 4 years from when someone first posted a picture on this site.

Well my 208 will be a tender for that. punching several, no many, levels above my financial weight class. I am perfectly happy to fill an 80 gallon fuel tank and run 3.5+ mpg cruise. Wouldn’t mind having that for just a day though.

Interesting that it is a new hull length, and quad 425's in the video which makes it seem like it was shot a while ago. Time to speculate whether(if) they come out with a 45 express (off of the Canyon 456 hull) or a 41 (express) off of this hull next. Given that they just refreshed the Canyon 386 don't think it would be a 41' center console.

I have a house in PKS, NC, and use Beaufort Inlet, which is Grady's home inlet. On a busy summer day, I see dozens of GW's on the water, or any day driving around, I see literally hundreds. But I don't see these big boats, how many are actually produced, and where are they going?

You are keeping track of the wrong number. Not how many, but how much - as in $$. One of these = many times the profit of the others. For many builders it's a can't lose investment... for now.

My guess would be that if they were considering going this route, since their biggest Express cabin series boat is only 37' that they would instead do a 40'-41' Express based off this new 415 Freedom first. As opposed to jumping all the way from a 370 Express to a 45' Express, just my thoughts though. Also, how many people are looking for a 40' walkaround boat? It seems like in the last 10-15+ years that everyone is buying DC/CC styles of boats and most manufacturers are hardly even building walkarounds anymore.

i was at a Grady Dealership today getting the Initial 20-Hour Service completed on my Freedom 235

i asked, “what’s the basic list price for the new Freedom 415”

The response was, $1,400,000

Fortunately, at approaching 30,000 pounds, it’s too heavy for my Lift

:)

Just get a bigger lift then... problem solved ;)

Coming back down to reality though, $1.4 million is insane.

No, I am not going to buy one, so I really don't care what they charge, or what the profit margin is, but I am curious about production time, and market demand. And, at 14 feet of beam, and 30,000 pounds, are they delivered on their own bottoms.

That's it? $1.4M? I was thinking a lot more. Here's one listed for $1.9.


I just can't fathom spending that kind of money on a bow rider. I'd be getting a full-on yacht that I could live on comfortably. I just don't get the appeal of something like this.

Approaching $2M for a large bow rider?? Seriously though, it looks like it is listing starboard. I remember when the 330 came out and they had issues with balast. Best not to be on the bleeding edge with GW. I'd be in Carolina Classic or other battlewagon before dropping that much jing.

I don't get the bow rider thing. For something 18 -22 feet, sure, nice layout. For something 30 or over, no thanks. Can't overnight in bow, can't really fish up there. Basically an express rear without any of the utility in front of a cabin or center console.

And for 1.4 M? Wow. For a bow rider? Unreal.

I have a feeling that this boat will appeal to people who will use it as their small day-boat. Real F-U money.

334M x 1% = 3.3 million. Yep, that's a big FU $ market in the USA. GW only needs to tap a fraction of a percent to make that gamble pay off.
