New Grady-White Freedom 265

[Great Lakes Grady]

I just saw that Grady-White is planning to introduce a Freedom 265. Looks like it's going to be powered by twins (200s or 250s?) but with the wrap around swim platforms like the 235 and port side door like the 285.

It appears it could have a 9'6 beam like the 285.

I think I rad that the max HP for the new model is 400.

Saw that. I'm assuming they are getting rid of the 255 and 275. The new 265 looks a lot sportier and more modern than the typical Grady also. Wonder if that is a thing we may see more of in other models.

Impressive specs, including the 9' beam, swim platforms and port-side door. I think GW has hit this one out of the park, although I might prefer a little more HP (twin 250s) if optional.

I really like the 235, but now I just might have to wait on the 265 to makes its appearance.
