Hey folks, I haven't posted a whole lot here, so I'm sure I'm a total unknown for any regular users, but I'm putting my 1995 Gulfstream 232 up for sale. The first question you folks will all ask is why? Well, this is our first boat. We bought it in 2017 when our kids were pretty young. We've had some great days on the water, and the boat has been an absolute tank that we have loved, but the kids are into other activities now, and we probably only got out on it 6-7 times last summer...just not using it enough to justify the cost of keeping it. Grady-White makes a fantastic product...which is why you probably don't see a lot of good used ones for sale. So, if you're in the market, today is your day.
The list of upgrades we've done is pretty long:
August, 2017
No expenses have been spared to modernize and update “Shenanigan”. The previous owner also maintained her very well.
We have updated or upgraded most everything on this boat. As you might expect from a 1995 hull, there are a few nicks and scratches here and there, but nothing negatively impacts the boat's structural integrity or usability.
Engine reports from the past 3 years are available.
Top speed (fully loaded) is ~45mph. This is a heavy boat, but the twin 175 Suzuki’s move her along well and get great gas mileage, as you’d expect. I don’t have specific consumption numbers at various RPM’s but I often glance at the gauges and see 2-3mpg / 12-15gph. Obviously, this varies greatly depending on total weight/load, weather/ocean conditions, and how heavy your throttle hand is.
The digital throttle system is incredibly smooth, and the engines are extremely quiet.
I have the survey that was done after we did all the work in 2019. At that time, the survey valued her at $75k.
Engine reports and the survey from 2019 are available upon request.
Ideally, I would like to get $50k. Trailer included. Will also include:
