Hello Folks,

I'm trading in my 2008 336 for a new 360. There is not a whole lot to choose from in options for the 360 as it comes standand with mostly everything. However, I am struggling on the decision of hard top enclosure vs. the traditional open hard top. Has anyone seen the new hard top enclosure at any of the shows? Looking for some feedback / opinions on the look, feel, and visual of this option. It looks great in the pictures!

Thanks
 
In looking at your location (Nova Scotia), I would think the enclosed option would make sense for you. As for me, being a southern US boater, give me the open traditional version and let me have that fresh breeze blowing through with the option to button it up with curtains, if needed. I do have to say, I wish it was ME having to make that decision! Let us know what you decide and please post pics when you get your new Grady.
 
i have posted lots of suggestions on the site for options and changes for the 360, as i own one. you should be able to search for them. i have the soft top, and open the side up all the time. i actually like the look of the soft top over the hard top but just my opinion. and of course the soft top leaks at the zippers etc. keep us posted on your progress.
 
I'd never advise anything without actually seeing it. I'm pretty sure there is a helm AC option but how about heat? The full enclosure is going to have a better seal but if you like the wind blowing around in the summer (what little you have up there) get the curtains. Do you ever have a problem with the curtains fogging up? On cold fall days if all the curtains are sealed up tight, the inside will fog up on me.
 
Christos,

I am in NH and our season is very similar to yours. I just ordered my new 360 with the traditional hardtop enclosure. It does have heat in both the helm and cabin via a reverse heat pump as long as the water temp is over 60 degrees (I think). I believe it is standard on all 360's.

What did you order for power?

townvet,

Hi, I have the boat being priced out now. Should have the pricing today or tomorrow for the 360.

I am pricing out the following...
- Integrated hard top
- 3 - 350's
- underwater led lights

The rest of what I need is standard... Kind of disapointed that they do not offer the BBQ option like the 366?

Once I get the pricing and what they will offer me for my 336, I am making a decision. As a side note, I have also priced up a Boston Whaler 345 as well... my prefernce is the Grady, however, we have a Whaler dealer here and it will probably be about 80-90K less (although not quite the same boat something to consider)?? The closest Grady dealer to us is in Ontario, so it will come in through a 3rd party (Yamaha Dealer). I'm hoping to make the Grady work as that is my first choice.
 
Christos,

If you want to know what I paid for the boat (cause I would love to know what they offered you!) I would be willing to discuss.

I traded my 2009 336 in and ordered the 360 with standard hard top and triple V6 next generation 300's
