    Sailfish in tight 3 to 5 foot seas

    Sorry if I'm late jumping in on this thread but I haven't been here in a while. I think the recent comment about guys who have too much "big boat time" complaining about Grady's is spot on. Until I bought my 248 voyager all my boating was on my grandfathers 44' Striker and then his 32'...
