Default Re: Grady white opinion

I had an older (1987) Grady White Trophy Pro was a 25' with twin O/B's. Was a walk around style. The O/B's were OMC Sea Drives with guzzled fuel like a thirsty pig but essentially was bracket mount for each engine. So full transom with LOTS of storage back there.

As suggested ride is VERY subjective.

It is a heavy boat and does not bounce as much.

Single O/B versus twins changes boat ride too. Heavier is not better in the stern.

Grady has great storage features for fishermen too. I was on a 31' Rampage and the damn thing did not even have fish box on it, live well, transom storage, cockpit wash down bat/prep station and tackle storage lockers.


Mine had a full transom which was great for sea keeping and was quieter. But getting larger fish (100+ lbs) in the boat was a real b*tch. The ginwales are low. Definitely get bolster to protect yur knees.

I loved my Grady. The ride was great in 3 and 4's
