Grady White Freedom 215

[jchip14]

I understand that Grady White has changed power steering in the freedom 215 over the years … can anyone explain changes and steering quality? I am looking at used models (2018 to current) and don’t know which models to prefer or avoid based on power steering changes. Younger or more novice drivers will be using boat and want them to have enjoyable/easy experience. Thanks

More so Yamaha than Grady offering digital controls. Digital shifting, throttle and steering was introduced in higher end, higher horsepower motors somewhere around 2018, I think.
On a 215, common power is a 200HP which would likely be hydraulic steering. the 250HP has electric steering available as an option and nice to have. Eliminates prop torque feel and steering is effortless.
