Yes, the boat got a new all-composite transom in 2025 due to minor water seepage around the drain plug. I could have ignored it or had a spot repair done, but I was maintaining the boat with an open checkbook. It cost me about $10K... definitely not money well spent since I decided to get an...

Still for sale! Asking $75,000.

Mostly the purpose is to escape from / punctuate the Mid-Atlantic winter. I will be working full days during the week, but it’d be nice to swim in the pool and go to restaurants on the boat in the evenings, go snorkeling or diving or to the beach on the weekends.

I am going to spend January in Florida, either Fort Lauderdale, Key Largo, or Marathon. I'd appreciate some input from people in the area on which of my boats I should take. I have a 2011 Grady-White 275 dual console and a 2021 Axopar 37XC. What would I gain by taking the Axopar? Is there...

I’ve taken this boat back from the broker and re-listed it myself. Let me know if you’re interested.

Thanks for the positive feedback... the engine is an A. The exhaust manifold is original. I've never had problems with it.

Now asking $79,900 -- great deal!

The boat is now on the lot at Beacon Light Marina in Middle River if anyone wants to go check it out: https://www.beaconlightmarina.com/listings/7727697-used-2011-grady-white-275-freedom

I have a good survey report in hand document the boat’s excellent condition and valuing it at $93K. Asking $88K.

I haven't ridden on a World Cat so I can't comment on that, sorry. Generally speaking cats will handle rough conditions better but they do handle a bit differently than monohulls: https://boattest.com/view-news/6522_How_to_Handle_a_Power_Catamaran%3A_Driving_a_Cat_is_a_Whole_New_Ballgame The...

I own a Freedom 275 and have looked at the line extensively. Here's how I differentiate them: The 285 is the only one trailerable by mere mortals (and even it is a foot wider than 'legal'). The 307 feels like a different, larger class of boat from the 285. It's worth the upgrade if you don't...

All done! Re: the recent discussion, they replaced the splash well drains like for like with brass tubes, flared and set in 5200.

Asking price updated to $88,000

Coming for sale soon: 2011 Grady-White 275 Freedom. About 880 hours on the engine and hull. Factory options: hard top, rocket launcher, marine head, electric sliding lounge seat, wet bar, livewell, windlass (factory build sheet below), three side isinglass enclosure. Full Simrad electronics...

They said they will drill the new transom where the original holes were (the inner splash well skin is original, so the original drain holes are there) and insert a tube bedded in 5200.
