I am in the market for a new Grady. I currently have a tournament 190 and am looking for something that is larger and can make the trip to the Gulfstream (70 mi each way). I am comparing the Gulfstream and Islander models and have been torn between the two. The islander is 2 foot longer but the gulf stream is wider making it a better trolling platform...My question is which boat is a better offshore fishing platform and will the width or length serve me better. Any first handle knowledge of these two boats offshore would be appreciated.
On a separate note I have noticed that both of these boats often come with a single 250hp engine how do they perform with this power.
Thanks in advance
