Thoughts on this boat? https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2018-grady-white-freedom-235-9268195/

I like the 225 because of the increased size which many questioned about the 215. Also, it could last 2 or 3 years before we may want to upgrade to a 255 for something bigger.

How much life would be left in a 12 year old Yamaha 300? with around 500 hours

We went to the dealer this past weekend, and we went in the 215, 235, and 255. (I'm not sure if I have mentioned that). I think we are going back this weekend to look again. I also would ask how common it is to buy a boat that's hundreds of miles away. Is it very common to go look at it or just...

I understand that the 23 would be much bigger and better. But you do have to consider the 235 is around 135k for a nice used example. Remember this will Be our first boat. I would feel a bit nervous, finding myself at the helm this summer of a $135k boat at 18. The 215 being smaller and not as...

I was talking to my Dad and we acknowledged that the 23 or 25 Would definitely be the next step but our thought was even if the 215 is a little small. If we decide we weren’t all in on boating the 215 could just be kept on the lift and used a little bit throughout the summer for many years. And...

We have looked at center consoles, but They just don't seem very family-friendly. I know I will probably get berated for saying that, but from what I can tell, everyone will probably end up standing around the console and all Jammed together. That's kind of why we landed on a dual console. Also...

I think I've watched 30 or 40 lol. I'm in school so i have lots of free time.

edit ** I think they both are

I know you can see my age. I'm 18, still in high school, and I'm helping my dad with what we should get if you haven't realized that yet. I know lots of people have said go get a cheap 10-30K boat to get started, but I just don't think he will bite on that. His father, my grandfather, had very...

There is a 2019 Freedom 215 local to me with a 200 Yamaha and 200 hours. It has all the electronics (Garmin, Vhf). It's right around 80K. How much play do you think is in that price? I was thinking 7 or 8 % am I off??

Was this your first boat? Also while you’re going say 30 mph would you want to be riding in the bow, is it rough?

We went to the dealer nearby and we went into a new and used one (215). I definitely think used is the way to go it comes with everything broken in and all the electronics. I’m gonna keep my eye out online to find any more examples but I’m not really familiar with the boat market. I would assume...

Addressing some of the questions. The boat will be stored at our house on a lift, my family are big golfers and our course in 10 minutes from our house so I would assume lots of our use would be after golf, afternoon cruising and going to dinner. Our thought with a Grady is that it holds its...
