Re: What is she worth - Thinking about selling my 225 Tourna Very nice boat, you should not have any trouble selling it, there are very few on the market. When I sold my 225 a couple of years ago I used a broker at MarineMax , they did a good job, sold in 30 days.GLWS

Re: Trade the Grady for a bay boat? Update Guy's I thought I would post an update . After a lot of thought, I decided to sell my Grady 225 Freedom and move on to something different. The thought of modifying the 225 just did not appeal to me, I would destroy the sleek looks trying to turn it...

Not sure but check out seedealercost.com :jaw

Pics!

Congrats on the new Freedom 225! It's a great boat.

I have a Freedom 225, no issues standing and driving the boat and I'm 6', but everyone is different.

I'm checking into replacing the captains chair with a custom leaning post. I also spoke with GW and they suggested modified gunwale rod holders for the fly rods. I'll keep everyone posted.

Thanks for the input. I always wanted a Grady White and planned to do a lot of coastal and off/nearshore fishing (running out to the rigs etc) . The 225 Freedom appealed because it allowed me to do all of this and have a family boat to keep everyone happy ,the ability to entertain friends out on...

Guys talk me down! Recently I've been considering trading in or selling my 2011 Freedom 225 and getting a 23 ft bay boat. My reasons have to do with rod storage, or lack of, and bay fishing. My boys think a bay boat would match our needs better, I'm not so sure ... Thanks Doug

I had a rust spot on my swim ladder, warranty took care of it no problem.

Congrats on the new boat! Sounds like the prior owner used his even less than I use mine :jaw . You will love the boat, truly a great family fishing machine. If you keep it in dry dock I would suggest a cover as they get trashed pretty fast between outings.

Check out the Ford F150 4x4 Ecoboost. I just bought one to trailer my Grady, it's a wonderful truck, great fit and finish with LOTS of power!

To summarize ...some Dude says GW sucks and only he knows because he's an expert. As far as I can tell the only boat he captains has a keyboard attached to it. :lol:

The owners manual says if more than a "few days" you have to paint.
