New member of the Grady Family - Tournament 225

[Koby]

Guys, I joined the family this week when I bought a 1998 GW Tournament 225 from forum member striped bass.

Chuck was great to deal with and the care he took with his boat made this deal a no brainer.

I cannot get over how much room this cockpit has, it is simply huge for a 22 foot boat. The dual captains chairs are the perfect arrangement for family and fishing.

I picked up a used 6K lb aluminum bunk trailer which will allow me and my family to boat on either sid elf the Cape this summer. To say I am excited is a major understatement!

Congrats on the both of you....for buying and selling. The bracket on Grady's 22s coupled with the fully enclosed stern really opens the business end of the boat up. I have been on other boats in this size range between 20 and 23 feet and Grady really did a good job on their 22 foot boats. Enjoy the boat.

Looks eerily similar to mine... :grin:

Thanks, Smokey! Can't wait to get out there.

That is a great boat! My favorite 22' DC!
I own a 265 Express but I'm a big fan of Grady Tournament/Freedom lines!
The front to back fish-ability,
the storage and the multi-functionality of DCs are why they've been such big sellers for
Grady and other companies! I think Grady does it best though!
It looks like you got yourself a well cared for 225 that's going to give
you years of fun!

Best Wishes!
