I 100% agree with Byram. That price seems way inflated for what you described you will be getting. You are basically buying a hull. plastic thru hulls can be replaced and the hatch can be repaired. I would expect brass thru hulls and that hatch repaired and I still wouldn't pay the...

I hope you took the time to see the 100 foot tall statue of the "Green Giant" while you were in Blue Earth. I saw it years ago on a cross country motorcycle trip. and good luck with the new boat.

There is such a tendency that everything old becomes new again and i really think you will see this happen with boats. In about 10-15 years walk arounds will become all the rage again. That said a WA based on the 21 foot hull is something GW should look into now.....a cross between the...

I do not think a 115 hp is anywhere near enough motor to push a 22 Tournament. Ideal power IMO would be a 250. A 200 at minimum

Wonder if the full transom and bracket option could make a comeback on the 208?.... It was an option in 1991. looking at the previous model year brochures on the Grady White website. Boats have came along way over the years that's for sure. Would love to see the lapstrake hulls again.

I referenced in an earlier thread an article in Fisherman Magazine about a "possible secret Grady project" in their 2021 boat line up issue. I am obviously just speculating here but if their really is a "secret project" could it be a walk around based on the new 21 hull?? A 21' walkaround...

So i was reading the January issue of The Fisherman. It is the boat and motor buyers guide issue. The author reported nothing new for 2021 from Grady-White however reported a possible "secret project" they are working on.. So its winter i though I would start a thread if anyone cares to...

271 Canyon weighs 5900 pounds without engines the Robalo at 7000 pounds with power. The weight appears similar. Both are 9'6" wide The Grady is 26' 10" long to the Robalo at 27' 4" Grady lists a 20 degree deadrise at the transom to the Robalo having 23 degree....this seems to be the major...

In 10 years walkarounds will be all the rage again.

I'm guessing the boat is 2015 or newer. You could inquire of your local dealer if you could purchase the wet bar and hardtop from the factory but I have a feeling wont be cheap. If you are in the Mid Atlantic region Atlantic hardtops could sell you a "tower in a box" that are reasonably...

I have seen kickers mounted on the notch transom boats. An aftermarket bracket mounts on the side opposite the swim platform. Many are spring loaded to lift the kicker up a few inches. You can then tilt the kicker out of the water and run the big motor at speed. I wish I knew the names...

I have a 96 Adventure 20. same hull as you maybe a little heavier because its a walkaround... I put a brand new 5 Starr under it last year and have been very happy. I opted for galvanized rollers. I purchased a 5S22T5400TG1 which is designed to carry 5400 pounds. A 5000 pound model was...

when I bought a new trailer for my Adventure I bought a Loadrite model that would fit a 20 or 22 foot Grady. i had a choice between the 5000 pound or 5400 pound carrying capacity. price difference was a whopping 104 dollars. I opted for thre 5400 pound model. I got size bigger tire and...

agree with Parthery def get the 200 is you are running a hardtop. You can overnight two people in the cabin. It wont be the most luxurious accommodations and you might get an elbow in the back at some point but its doable. If I was to factory order a 208 it would definitely have the pulpit...

My boat is a 1996 Adventure 20 which would be a 208 today. I have a bimini. 20 ft LOA. the Seafarer is the 22 foot walkaround. IDK if a hardtop is a factory option on a 215 or not. my only other suggestion of you go the bowrider route is go with twin helm chairs versus the front and...

Atlantic Towers in New Jersey makes a hardtop in a box for dual consoles in the 215 size range. You can shop their product on their website. I have had my Adventure 20 miles offshore and i would take a 215 20-30...after I check my weather and go over the boat and make sure everything is in...

looks like the 19 foot coastal explorer was dropped too.

I too would suggest you make friends with at least some of everybody and pick their brain as to what being a responsible boat owner entails. Get an idea of what maintenance and upkeep any boat will require and what that will cost. A boat fresh off the showroom floor will have maintenance and...

Just looked at the GW website. No more 230 Fisherman, 258 Journey, or 271 Canyon. I don't expect to see the 225 Freedom much longer. Glad to see the 232 Gulfstream hanging tough.

Don't give up...maybe look into a repower?
