Hello, outstanding forum members!

I am so thankful to have found this forum, as there is so much combined knowledge!!! I cannot find any information about this boat I am considering for purchase. I am looking for information about a boat that was sold 5 times. That really cannot be the case, right? RIGHT? I cannot find anything in the largest search platform (Google) or the second largest search platform.... (YouTube). I can't find anything here, either. It seems as though the Tournament was sold hundreds of times, but the 195 Sportsman not so much.

Has anyone ever seem one of these unicorns? Is there more information anywhere about them? I would REALLY appreciate any feedback about remodeling, inspecting, strengths/weaknesses, any information at all.

The boat I am looking at is a 1982 Grady White Sportsman Dual Console with a 2000 225 Evinrude 2-stroke. It needs the gas tank replaced, the bilge pump replaced, and the lights redone.

Help. Please. The form of this boat has mesmerized me. I think it is so beautiful. I have no issue spending another $6k - $8k to make her perfect again, but will I have to have each piece custom made!?!!?!?!total.jpgbrochure2.jpgbrochure1.jpg

Thanks again!

I had a 196 Atlantic with a 470 Merc IO. I'm a Lake Michigan salmon and Lake Erie walleye fisherman and that boat took me any place I wanted to go! I never had a problem! I sold the boat in 1991 and purchased a1991 24 Offshore which I'm still using today. All the info I had I gave to the buyer but I still might have the sales brochure if you want more pictures?
