    Looking for a 274, any out there?

    Was that the I/O version of a 27 Sailfish? I have only ever seen one for sale on the east coast. Had diesel power too.

    gulfstream 232

    A Toyota Tundra at the end of the day is a half ton truck. You're asking a lot of it to safely and confidently tow a Gulfstream.

    Freedom 225 vs 215

    I prefer a boat with more beam. I have an Adventure 20. The new 21 walkaround is very appealing to me. More so than a Seafarer.

    Fishable, Trailer-able Family Friendly Grady options

    I understand your Hatteras has a flybridge and that is a point of contention with your wife. Does that Hatteras have a station on the salon? Would investing in a rear deck or salon helm perhaps solve your issue and give you the "one deck" you are seeking. I guess what I am suggesting is...

    What boat to buy????

    Have you considered a 265 Express? Larger that a 232 probably a little more comfortable and a wide beam. No rear lounge on the 265 but nice folding yacht chairs could be a good alternative...fold them up and stow in the cabin f you're going to fish. I recently also saw on Long Island...

    Grady 208 Adventure ???

    I dont hate it. The berth is interesting looks offset like a 232. The transom is def not made for fisherman though The walkaround is shallow. no more pulpit option the hardtop looks nice and big will cast a fair amount of shade

    Voyager 248 towing

    I really think you would have your hands full with that rig. If I see you on the highway I'm staying as far from you as i can get.

    Considering pre-2000’s Overnighter

    Are you looking for an Overnighter which the last model year was 1992 or an Adventure which is the 93-current 20 foot W/A? I have fished both and though similar there are differences. Adventure (1993-current) has the SeaV2 hull. which many say rides better. I have a 96 Adventure and...

    Higher Fuel Prices

    I'm paying $4.45 at the pump in PA. Being a Shoobie I expect to be paying around $7.00 a gallon in South Jersey if I slip my boat. Is trailering really saving me anything though because my F-150 gets 10 mpg towing?

    Considering Grady White...would like some feedback

    The 271 Canyonn is a foot wider than the Freedom 27

    Water depth required to float a Freedom 235

    If the engine up draft on the Freedom is 20 inches and the boat is going to be on a lift you should account for the lift apparatus itself and the need to lower the motor to maneuver away from the lift. I have no experience, but I would think you would need to lower the lift at least 6-12...

    Does GW color fade?

    Everything fades. Proper maintenance will definitely maximize the durability and resist fade. I think lighter colors are easier to maintain though and seem to keep their shine longer. A friend had a maroon Regal years ago and buffer manufacturers loved that color. The sand and sea foam...

    Not a grady question but you guys know a bunch so

    From what I've read on here the F-26 (walkaround) had mixed reviews but the less common X-26 (center console) from Grady has a stellar reputation. Grady didn't sell enough units and got out of the catamaran game. I also read on here that Grady sold the catamaran hull molds to another...
