I owned this exact model in a 2019 model year NEW but unfortunately had to sell it that same year due to a health concern in my family. I realize my request is quite specific; I am in no rush...I own a Grady currently. If you own this package and may be interested in selling, please let me know. Thank you!
**Want To Buy** A late model Seafarer 228 - Hardtop, Freshwater Use only and no bottom paint with the Yamaha 300

Thank you Msp381! It is with a Dealer...I sent him a message to inquire further. Home port says Boulder, CO on the transom?

A bow thruster on a 228 Seafarer? Interesting...
To the OP, I think it's going to be a struggle to find all of the things you're looking for, as the year that they switched from a maximum of 250 to 300 horsepower appears to be in 2011. There are a few of those boats out there for sale from 2011 and newer, but it seems like the majority are from roughly 2008 and prior that I've seen. On top of that, most of them I imagine will have saltwater use to them, as well as be bottom painted on top of that. Though you might be able to find a unicorn somewhere in the midwest or Great Lakes area that hasn't had any saltwater exposure to it. Good luck with your search, it took me just over a year to find my 2004 Grady White 228 Seafarer, as they don't oftentimes come up for sale. Seems as though their owners enjoy hanging on to them and keeping them for quite sometime, especially after GW discontinued them from their lineup.

Its owner must live in Colorado. The dealer is in NY and that’s where the GW is. It’s not in the cards for me right now but I did get some real good pics and it is clean and well kept. It should be a nice one. The bow thruster is quite the addition to it!
