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.
discontinued models
- Thread starter billyttpd
- Start date
Directly from their website:
"We pioneered the walkaround cabin, and with customers’ dream lists over the past 40 years we perfected the design."
...and apparently are abandoning them. Sad day IMO, but I'm not the guy helping to pay the bills for GW by buying new. Looks like if I ever buy another it will be long discontinued model, or another manufacturer. No one runs CC's up here because of the cold, and DC's layouts just don't work for me. Grady appears to be going after the southern fisherman, or the family sand bar boat more than ever.

website has a Fisherman 236 and Canyon 271FS so just renamed.
Makes no business sense to offer models that noone wants. Dealer in MA told me at the boat show 2 years back that all anyone wants are the DC models and large express models. Dealers know what their customers want and GW responds. Makes sense. Can't see the WA models hanging on much longer.
