    Canyon 336 with twin 300 performance

    I own a 2008 Canyon 336 and also had the horrific F350A's on it... I had one of them seize up completely due to thrust bearing failure in February of 2022 during the height of covid supply chain issues with Yamaha reporting at least 12-15 months delay to get new F300s... As an alternative to...

    Southwest Florida Grady Owners

    I live in Bonita Springs and I keep my Grady 336 Canyon at Fish Tale Marina on FMB. I am in the same “boat” as you not knowing the status of my boat and not sure when i will find out. I have Progressive for my boat insurance. Hoping for the best for us all. My luck has been horrible with this...

    96" Rhodan on Grady 336 Canyon

    I just stumbled onto this post.... I am also a Canyon 336 owner and do a lot of bottom fishing in the Gulf. I end up drifting more often than anchoring because getting anchored up on "the spot" is always a challenge with competing winds and currents. Now that you have had the Rhodan...

    Time for repowering my 336 Canyon

    Hi all, I own a 2008 Canyon 336 with the OEM F350As from the GW factory of the same vintage. The dreaded F350 powerhead failure on my 2008 F350A starboard motor finally bit me and I am dry docked for a while. Therefore, it is time to repower my vessel. Any other Grady 33 owners repowered your...

    Repowering 336 Canyon

    Scott - I have a '08 336 Canyon with the original F350A Yamaha motors. Fingers crossed, but they are still running good. Have seriously considered the Suzi 350 duoprops as well. What year is your 336? Did you own the boat when it had the original Yam 350s on it? If so, what differences did...

    271 CANYON TO KEYS

    Could be. I have only had my Grady 336 since July 2019. Prior to this boat, I kept a Shamrock at FTM. I bought my lightly used 336 on consignment from Fish Tale Boats in Ft Myers last year. I looked at many twin engine new boats in the 27-30 foot range when I stumbled on to the deal on my...

    271 CANYON TO KEYS

    It does ride pretty good, but in tight shallow Gulf water chop, even a 336 can feel small out there!

    271 CANYON TO KEYS

    I have run direct from FMB to KW in the past also... The trip is very similar as it is to any other of the FL keys from SWFL. The most important part is to ensure you have your route planned to make sure you enter the Keys in a channel that is properly marked with the depth you need even at...

    271 CANYON TO KEYS

    Very well said Magical Bill, you gave some great advice. I live in Bonita Springs, but keep my boat at Fish Tale Marina on the south end of Estero Island (FMB). I made the run from FMB to Ramrod Key this past June. We had a great trip and caught a ton of fish. You can see the route I took...

    271 CANYON TO KEYS

    I am not a 271 owner (I own a '08 336), but have done the FMB trip south to the Keys several times. Great trip! Happy to help answer questions for you.

    Grady heading out of Haulover During tropical storm

    Heading offshore during a tropical storm is evidence that his boat is very appropriately named! lol

    Buying a new Canyon 336, options?

    In my experience with the 336 Canyon, the refrigerated fish box is nice, but I would not make it a deal breaker on the 2020 if the price is right. The fish box on the 336 is very well insulated and holds ice well in the SWFL summertime heat even when the generator and refrigerated fish box is...

    Buying a new Canyon 336, options?

    I have the first year GW 336 Canyon from model year 2008 which I bought in 2019 with very low hours. My boat has everything on your list except for center bow fill insert, and hot water which I have not missed at all. I typically leave the bow cushions at home as I use my boat for 90% fishing...

    Who is looking to upgrade to the King of all Grady's?

    The local dealer near me sent an email indicating they had the only used Canyon 456 available on the market today, so I had to check it out. WOW, what a beast of a ride! Maybe in my next life! https://www.naplesboatmart.com/inventory/2020-grady-white-canyon-456-naples-fl-34104-10655278i
