    232 0r 228G?

    Thanks, magicalbill, you have confirmed all the reasons I have been telling myself for getting the bigger boat. The sea can kick up pretty quick even close in to along the coast of Maine. We have the winter to think about it before we go back in the spring. Thanks again for your response.

    232 0r 228G?

    Thanks for your thoughtful answers. I have had a Shannon 36' trawler with full ammenities and now have a 26' Duffey lobsteryacht with lots of teak and a 130hp diesel. We are looking to get something that goes faster and with less maintainence that the Duffey. A Grady is our first choice. I will...

    I now want to get a smaller Grady White walkaround to use in the bays and coastal waters of Maine. Not planning to go very far off shore. There seems to be about $15 to $20 thousand difference between a late model 232 and 228G. Is there that much difference between these two boats? Do not plan...

    They are actually a great machine and run with fresh water so there is no oder. But,If you have had one you would understand. If you have not, a good rule to post on it is "if you have not eaten it don't put it in here"! If you have people aboard who are not careful, you will spend a lot of time...

    Looks like there are a lot of "head options" for the 232. It it a simple matter of getting what you pay for or is there a choice that works better that the rest? Is there a "must have" choice? I have had a 36' Shannon Voyager in the past with a fancy Vacuflush head but would not have another as...

    I am considering buying a used 232. Was there a significant design change between 2005 and 2006?
