2004 GW Express Crusier Buzzards Bay

[RockLobsterBOS]

Looking to sell my 2004 Grady White 33 express cruiser probably one of the dryer boats in the area of Buzzards Bay. In 2023 the port side core replacement was done from midships to stern. Engines removed transom grounded down epoxy and recapped both done by East Coast fiberglass in Pembroke. At the same time, the hard top was rebedded as well as the front hatches. In 2023 replaced air conditioning raw water pump replaced stern bilge pump replaced batteries. New electronics installed in 2017 Garmin 12 inch screens. 2024 Replaced Raw water pump freshwater pump. Boat has been stored inside except for a 2024 season. When purchased the end of 2022 previous owner had the interior cockpit cushions done As well, I have the original outriggers not on the boat need updated work. If you know, the Grady White 33 express you’ll understand the quality and craftsmanship. Boat has been barely fished. I don’t think the live well has ever been used. Has full Canvas and a cockpit awning. The engines are 2015 Yamaha 300 hp 4 stroke with 300 hours. Professionally maintained I am currently replacing spark plugs, thermostats and water pumps. Fischer Panda diesel generator low hours. I also ran the network up from the engines added an extra network patch block so all engine information is displayed on the Garmins. I feel the boat is great to excellent condition.
If you’re interested or have questions you may email me at mvmarisT@gmail.com or text me at 508591006.
I am loooking for $148,000 for the boat as its condition is great. Not showroom but great. Boat is in Wareham and can be seen by appt. No brokers please unless looking to buy for a client.
Selling because we need a boat more adapted for longer overnight stays.
Serious inquires only please.
Sea Trials by deposit only. Boat launches in 2 weeks.

Nothing personal, I don’t have a dog in the fight, but I think you are expecting premium dollars from a boat that for all intents and purposes has been “rebuilt” from a totaled state.

I just sold my 2007 307 Bimini, with zero damage history, for $99k (asked $120k). It’s a tough market out there. IMO, no offense, you won’t see anywhere near $148k. I would be surprised if you saw $100k.

The barrier you are against, REGARDLESS OF THE QUALITY OF THE REPAIR, is the extensive nature of the repair. Basically, 1/3 of the boat has been removed and replaced. For me, I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking it offshore in any significant weather.

Sincerely good luck with the sale. I have been where you are now. It’s not fun.

Grady White had a design flaw in the early 2000's with the rear vents on both the port and starboard side. This is a known issue with GW esp. 2002 - 2008 30 and 33 Express Cruisers.
The repair was done professionally prior to me purchasing the boat by a very reputable fiberglass company that works a majority of the tome on GW for a very reputable GW dealer in the area.
It is as good as new if not better. Like putting disk breaks in a 65 mustang. Modern technology does wonders.
Thanks for your feedback. Sorry you did not get what you wanted for your boat.

There's usually always two sides to every story or topic... here in regard to pricing, on the one hand pricing isn't going to be the same everywhere throughout the country. What a boat sells for in Florida isn't likely going to be what it sells for in the northeast, and what they sell for on the east coast likely isn't going to be what they sell for out here on the west coast/PNW area. A great example would be the boat that I purchased, in that I bought her for $26.5k back in Maryland and 3 almost identical boats have sold here in the Seattle area during that time for $55k-$65k. So, just because a boat sells for say $100k in Florida, that doesn't necessarily mean it's a $100k boat everywhere else.

That being said and on the other end of the spectrum, there are quite a few Grady White 330 Express boats for sale online currently for that price range, similar condition, motors, etc... 28 in fact, and over 57 total at least on the BoatTrader.com website. As well as a good deal of those boats seem to have a "Price Drop" flag or notification by them, which would make me think that the used 330 Express boat market seems a bit overly saturated at the moment. To the OP... it's your boat and you can list it for whatever price you'd like to. I'd highly recommend adding some pictures on here as well as add it to one or more boat sales websites like Boat Trader, or something similar, as this website doesn't always generate a ton of traffic on it. Or, you could always make a Craigslist ad or something similar, post the link from there onto your post here for those that wish to see the pictures, as you're pretty limited to the size of the pictures that you can add on this website. Either way, good luck with the sale and hopefully you get the price you want for your boat.
