    2016/ 228 Seafarer 300 HP

    I thought that was a little slow. I,m interested to see how mine will handles at various speeds and conditions. This will be my second rodeo with a Grady. I ran a 306 for a few years. This time around, I’m looking for a little smaller breed with a cotton cab. I’ve spent my whole life on and off...

    2016/ 228 Seafarer 300 HP

    A nice looking boat that you have. I’ll have some pics after I make the journey to get it. I've read some good things about the 300. A little icing on the cake. People like yourself have been a lot of help to help to get me to this point. Not an easy decision without the experience of other 228...

    2016/ 228 Seafarer 300 HP

    I got a trailer today. Hard to getem in the States. A two month minimum backlog. Trailer is a little light with a 6000 lbs max payload or so. Duel tandem with discs though. The boat has bottom paint. The owner bought it in 17 and used it very little. He got two SEASONS out of it up NYC. They’re...

    2016/ 228 Seafarer 300 HP

    I lucked out this boat came locked and loaded with a F300 Yamahauler. The owner bought the boat in 17 and put under 218 hrs on the motor. Forty or better is fine with me.

    Finding a trailer is no walk in the park. I checked a radius of apprx 75 miles or so with a half dozen dealers and nothing. Covid to the rescue again. Your looking at 2-3 mths . There’s no inventory. I lucked, really lucked out and found one. Very little, small operation got one yesterday and I...

    Agreed. I bought this boat today but, not as an offshore racing boat. I want just want to get out there and back. I’m not running the Pacific but, I am running the Gulf in Florida. A long trip ahead of me next week to NYC and back.

    Yes, it the catch 22. You know the boat!. I like your advice and will take it. The surveyor is a must. I will also be purchasing a trailer. I’m thinking of buying it here to avoid any issues that may arise 1200 miles away. The plan is: 1 finish the financing 2 have the boat surveyed 3 buy the...

    2016/ 228 Seafarer 300 HP

    Great info. I saw the same info for another year with the 228. You pretty well confirmed things on my side going forward with my purchase. It’ll be on a 2400 mile journey but, I’m up for it. Running the first leg with just a trailer. Thinking of shrink wrap to protect the boat as another Grady...

    GREAT GRADY FAQ

    Good stuff. It’s nice to see the level of support Grady White has as well as Grady owners. That’s I’m going to have another Grady White.

    Woohoo! Our new to us 2006 Sailfish passed survey.

    The shrink-wrap is a great idea. The way things are looking, I’ll be getting my boat from out of state. There’s a much better selection for cotton-cabs outside of Fla, where I live.

    Scupper issues

    Everybody’s feed has been a real help. The boat‘s shown is another testament to the quality of the Grady White’s. The pics you’ve all sent look great. Nice boats. I’d interested in knowing what year the scuppers where raised too.
