Yeah… figured for the age it was overpriced. Even with the kicker engine and reported condition. I do want to be 2000 or newer but under $30k so I’m still checking for the unicorns. But I also realize I’m not good at knowing the good from the bad when it comes to what is out there. so I do...

I love it! Because at least I know that someone is looking for the good ones and weeding out the scams. I’m still looking for mine. Sadly the listing has expired or been sold any thoughts on this https://fortmyers.craigslist.org/lee/boa/d/north-fort-myers-grady-white-208/7505508396.html

As a follow up. I was on BT and CL again today and plenty of those “private seller” with minimal photos boats have popped up. Never would have figured scam but here we are.

My question is how did you find such a good deal in this market? Lol. 2021 was still a very hot sellers market. And yes, I am indeed here in Clearwater FL. I had my Hatteras for sale in April 2021 and it finally sold in January. So I’m thinking that the market will taper as anyone that wanted a...

Beam isn’t an issue as we won’t be trailering it unless we buy out of state. High and dry is the plan for storing. Twins seem hard to find but seeing as there’s no rush we will see what end of season brings to market.

To be fair, I appreciate that long winded response. I’ve come across a few of your posts on this site. Very well said and gives me a lot more perspective on what I want/need and what’s available to me here. Admittedly, I would love to find something “local” but realize that it may take longer or...

Cool. Thank you. I will start looking for that. Twins seem really hard to find. Any specific year to steer clear or near of? edit: Just looked at a local CL listing. Do all Gulfstreams have that open transom? I don’t know that I really like that as a “feature”

The answer from her is a resounding yes! Lol While the Hatteras was spacious with amenities to spare, it really was too much boat for two people. While a separate head would be great, it’s really become about simplifying with the trade offs of going to a smaller vessel. The biggest win is being...

Looking for some input from the Grady gurus on here. This is a bit of a read so I apologize in advance but my confusion and desire for bang for the buck is grinding my brain to a mush. Looking for a Grady due to perceived quality, reliability and availability of replacement parts when needed...

That is some solid and great info. I can’t imagine being out in too big a chop but I’m in the Gulf of Mexico and would really like to get out to some of that water. As well as someday maybe head towards the Keys or even Bahamas. So not sure if that would be doable in the 228.

Thanks a bunch for that feedback. I’m trying to go best bang for the buck around $30k and in that sweet spot if 23-26 footers. but I’m no rush with the way the world is going.

Hey all… new to Grady shopping and need some guidance please. We are looking at the two models above. My questions revolve around capabilities between the 2 models. How far offshore? Ride quality and dryness of ride? Comfort of the cockpit? That type of stuff. Seafarer has a 250 Yamaha with...

Thanks for finding that. Sending to the fam now lol

Great looking boat. Are there any interior photos and is the trailer included? I’m down here in Florida and it is hard to find decent shape Grady’s over here.
