Selling my 2016 330 Express $279900.

I bought her new in 2016 in Tampa Florida area and have kept and used her there since. It has never had any type of damage - stormwise or anything else. This is the AV2 hardtop version with full windshield and sunroof. The twin Yamaha 300s have 260 hours. The Fischer Panda Genset just under 100 hrs. The boat has OEM bow thruster not a helmmaster system. The boat is super clean (never fished) and loaded with just about every option available including helm enclosure, cabin ac and separate helm ac unit, cockpit grill and fridge, sureshade, twin Garmin 16" screens, Garmin radar, Garmin satellite weather receiver, Garmin VHF, Yamaha security immobilizer system. A full $3k service on both engines was done one year ago but only a dozen hours since then and new 2 coat bottom job completed this month (January 2025.) New batteries installed 12/20 (4 AGM group 27). Have all maintenance receipts since new. Prefer an all private sale but will pay a 2% commission to a licensed broker if you are working with one and want assistance with the deal. I am not ready to list with a broker so please do not contact me to solicit the listing. If you are looking for a newer 330 this one is priced right - check Boat trader and Yachtworld as there are many comps. I will respond to PMs or email me at 2016grady330@gmail.com. Thanks

Correction: the dual Garmin screens are 7612's I.e. 12" not 16". And as long as I'm posting again a few more options were the command elite helm seat, underwater lights, and I just had the interior seating areas and cockpit bolsters recovered (3K). Thanks

I was asked about the need for replacement of interior upholstery and cockpit bolsters on this boat. Regarding the interior seating: I have seen this in a number of Grady 330s of similar vintage. I was told by the upholstery shop that the seat fabric was likely degraded by exposure to chemicals/cleaners etc as it was a thin interior grade rated product whereas an exterior grade (which is what we replaced it with) was really needed. It's a similar story with the bolsters. I erred when I said the boat was never fished, I should have said never fished hard and only for the first year or so. Unfortunately unbeknownst to me my initial monthly boat cleaner person reached for the bleach and the magic eraser as his go-to products and the stitching on the bolsters started failing way too early. But I was able to get everything recovered with a quality sunbrella exterior grade vinyl and it looks great now at a total cost of $2900 for both inside seating and outside bolsters. I'm just glad I did not have him cleaning the helm seating inside the full enclosure which is still all original and in great shape.

Also BTW I will post a few pictures soon. The boat is still on the hard at the boatyard following the bottom job and I will have it back in a couple days.

Just bought a 2018 with 300s otherwise I'd be jumping all over this. Good luck with the sale!

The helm enclosure needs a good scrub and has clouded a little but is in nice shape for almost 9years old and keeps the helm nice and clean. Rolls up easily in 3 sections for cruising. Took the cockpit pics to show the new bolsters and flip down seat recovering ($1900). Picture also shows the optional under hardtop electric sureshade which I forgot to mention previously. I had the sureshade restitched about a year ago and it works perfectly and is a great option. Will take more pics including helm and inside next time I run the boat. The hours right now are 268/269 - less than 10 hours since the big Yamaha 300 hour service I had done last year at 260/261. That service included all the annual stuff but also thermostats etc. (Cost was $2946.) Also 2 coats Petit Vivid Hybrid bottom done this month - $4400. BTW the Fischer panda 4K Genset runs great and will power both cabin and helm AC units at same time while underway. I'm planning on servicing the unit soon. Last service was oil change , water pump and new control module at 50 hours in 2021. Current hours are 96 - FP suggests service every 50 hours.
