Just got a 1980 "new to me" Grady White. Its my first boat so whether or not i got a good deal on it or not im not quite sure. Its a 1980 201, from what i can tell on the info plate on the boat (its a little washed out). The previous owner removed the inboard and had a new transom put in and it now has a single 1996 Johnson 225 Ocean Runner Outboard. I believe he also removed the forward cabin and made it more of a dual console set up. It seems like a solid boat and the motor starts right up everytime, idles pretty smooth, etc. Thinking running a fresh tank of gas through there with some seafoam should get any remaining kinks out. All in all, the boat, engine and trailer ran me $2400.

I wasnt looking for a pure offshore boat as my first boat. Wanted something smaller that can get me to some inshore fishing spots and do some island hopping down here in the naples FL area and the keys.
