    Grady White Tournament - Purchase Insight Needed

    Late this past summer I sold my 17' Whaler. This was the 3rd Whaler I have restored and sold and my 7th Whaler overall. In fact, Whalers are all I have ever owned. So, I am kind of a Whaler guy through and through. With years of buying, selling and restoring Whalers I have become very...
