Heading down to Wanchese NC tomorrow to pick up our new to us GW 305 Express and run her up the ICW to just above Annapolis Md. plan is to take few days and enjoy the trip home. Boat is loaded with Yamaha 250’s with 660 hours, diesel genny, Bow thruster, chill plates, Lee outriggers, ac, heat every option for that year. Boat is super clean, was stored on a rack indoors it’s entire life and the gel coat shows, still retains the GW beige color not faded at all. Need a few things but nothing I can’t take care of myself. We have had a 1997 F-26 Tigercat for the last 14 years and have loved owning her but needed something with the comforts of home like ac, heat and the ability to stand up inside since we spend every weekend of the season sleeping on the boat. We have been contemplating this move for a long time and have looked at plenty of boats all different makes but have always wanted the 305 since it’s the perfect size for us. Super excited to start a new journey in our life with the new boat and the very first trip will be a good one. Will post more pics of the trip hopefully everything goes ok.

Congrats and enjoy!
We love our 2007 305 Express and think you will also.
 
...congrats...very beautiful,I wish you enjoy her...;)
 
Made it to Coinjock Marina today was only a 50 miles trip but so far so good. Definitely different than our previous F26 Tigercat, never had to use trim tabs on previous boat so that takes a getting used too. Still have about 250 miles to go and actually hope we see a little more sporty seas to see how she does. So nice to be able to have the AC running while at the dock.
