Re: New Grady Owner - 221 Pacific, Anyone Have information o
Totalrex said:
I just purchased a 1982 221 Pacific w/ Mercruiser I/O, does anyone have any information on these it appears that they were only made for a few years? Does it share hull or was it perhaps a predacessor to a different model? I'm looking forward to a mild restore / refresh on the boat and using for Lake Michigan family cruising / Salmon fishing....
Fairly new to boating myself. Recently picked up a 79 offshore 24 for restoration.
My interpretation is that a vast number Grady boats from this era are are very similar and based on the same hull.
Your boat looks identical to mine although there are differences to be sure. I think it was around the early 90's Grady came out with the seavee 2 hull which significantly streamlined the base Grady hull and had a significant effect on all aspects of cruising. Mileage/cockpit-wetness/speed/etc
Like I mentioned I'm new, take what I was with a grain of salt. I'm sure someone more experienced will be along soon with more concrete info.
