Looking for an outboard boat--but need help in models that will meet my requirements. So many different variations of Gradys I am having a hard time sorting them all out. What follows are my requirements.
Outboard or outboards on an extension
25 to 28 feet long
9'6" beam, we bottom fish, need stability, no rocking when you step down on boat from the dock.
Some bottom fishing out in the Gulf during Snapper season, and fish in the bays. Don't go if more than 2-3 foot seas.
WA, need hardtop-will enclose and put a RV roof a/c on it an run with my Honda gen. to A/C helm.
Head or at least a porta-potty. Kitchen and shower not a requirement, but most will probably have. something. V bunk for resting would be good. Probably not more than one overnight a year.
Would like to get by with one OB like on a Parker 2520 but know most Gradys in my size come with twins,
Closed Transom-OB/S on extension.
Want Tuna door or door thru transom to get to ladder, or swim platform, or extension.
Want to fish 4 to 6
Want 22 knots, loaded with people, ice, equipment, etc. for fishing.
Will keep in the water, except for maintenance and haul out for hurricanes. (Panhandle of FL)
If no trailer, price needs to reflect that as an additional cost to be, since I need a trailer.
Best value to meet the above needs for $25,000.
Thanks
