I have the 255 and love it, but if I was able to get a slip (only racking is available proximate to our home on the bayside on cape cod) I would purchase the 307. Its a beautiful boat with tremendous versatility. That said, those are both great choices. Best, Brian

I've been very happy with our Freedom 255. We boat off cape cod bay with varied conditions. I have found trimming the engine and using the trim tabs to be very effective for dealing with changing wind and seas. If I was looking for speed as a top priority, I would have looked at a different...

same problem on my new 255 - Dealer is going to work on it. My fuel gage has just shown all white bars - occasionally showing available gallons and then reverting to all white bars. Tell me about the reset though - news to me (do you need to do that on each refill and, if so, how is that...

Thanks all - much appreciated. I will go with no paint - but clean and annual wax. Best, Brian

Congrats! Taking delivery of our 255 in May (very similar boat). Best of luck and great times on your new Grady! Brian

Thanks! Happy Easter :-) Blessings, Brian

Thanks all for the welcome and replies. We also went with the hard top and windlass options. I'll post pictures in May when we launch her. Best, Brian

Hi all - my wife and I just ordered our first GW - a Freedom 255 (single engine 350 hp). We can't wait - although we don't plan to launch her until May, 2013 (we are in New England (Mass) for the summer boating seasons). I am a relative novice, so I am really enjoying reading through threads...
