I am considering both the Gulfstream and the Journey. I have read several postings about both. I am leaning toward the Gulfstream with a 350 HP. I would appreciate any input on the "negatives" if any. Also, I read that the Gulfstream is wide and therefore difficult legally to trailer (as...

Thanks. I think you hit it on the nail. Really want a bay boat but trying to find a "compromise." I love Grady Whites, just wish they could go shallow.

I am interested in the GW Journey 258. I have gone back and forth for some time. I have looked at bay boats (20-24 ft range) and Grady Whites (25-31 ft). Ideally, I would like a bay boat, because that is the type of fishing I enjoy most. But in the end I think I need a more family-friendly...

I am looking at a 282 Sailfish that does not have the optional air conditioner. One of the facotry options for this model was a 7,000 BTU air conditioner-- my understanding is that the factory AC was for inshore use only, as there is no generator. Does anyone know anything about the factory...

Another boat I am considering is the Gulfstream 232. I have heard great things about this boat. One of my priorities is air condition. Apparently there is a facotry option for a battery-powered AC unit. But I am looking to buy used, and most do not include this option. Is it possible to...

I am looking at the Grady White Journey 258. I prefer dual engines-- are dual 150s sufficient power for this boat? Also, I live in South Florida, so an air conditioner (for offshore use) is a priority. I notice that AC is an option, but assume that is only for inshore use. How much do...

I considering buying a Grady -- I have narrowed my choices to the following: (1) Express 265; (2) Express 305; (3) Marlin 300; or (4) Chesapeake 290. I am interested in used, preferably a boat still under warranty. I know this is a broad topic, but I would be interested to know from current...

I'm considering the 305-- can anyone give intel on price paid? Looking for 2008-2011 model. Thanks
