Coastal Fishing Boats That Appeal to the Masses

By Kristen Wesch


Most fishermen who are in the market for a boat face a daunting task - wading through the myriads of builders and boat designs to find exactly what they are looking for. Wouldn't it be nice if it could be narrowed down to one rock-solid builder with an awesome reputation and an unbeatable selection? Enter Grady White

That was the easy part. The hard part may be nailing down a choice among the 27 models currently available. Your first step would be to choose your desired deck plan. Grady White offers a selection of 10 center console models starting at 18' and topping out at 36'. There are 6 dual console models from 19' to 30' and also 6 walkaround cabin plans ranging from 20 to 30 feet in length. If you are more inclined to purchase a larger boat, there are 3 express cabin models to choose from at 30', 33' and 36'.

Grady White's center console range is made up of two models. The Fisherman, which is available from 18 to 27 feet in length, and the Canyon series, which ranges from 28' to 36'. The center console is made for hard-core fishing. The Fisherman comes equipped with a single outboard motor and is well rigged for the novice or the professional. Smaller and easy to handle, it allows you to put your mind at ease and concentrate on fishing. The larger end of the center consoles is the Canyon series. Ranging from 28 to 36 feet and equipped with dual outboards and tons of options, it is a serious fishing machine.

If you are looking for a few more seating options, the Freedom is Grady White's dual console model and is available from 19' to 30' in length. The 27' and 30' models come equipped with dual outboards, and all are a walk-through design with bow seating. There are a total of 6 models to choose from, all superbly equipped. Very appealing to all experience levels.

For longer, or simply more comfortable shorter outings, there are 3 express cabin models available in 30', 33' and 36'. All are thoroughly equipped for your fishing, relaxing and entertaining needs. These models are perfect for extended trips and feature beautifully laid-out and well optioned cabins that can accommodate as many as 5 guests overnight. Center steering and optional hard top enclosures are a couple of the more desirable features according to current owners.

Lastly, there are 6 walk-around models that are good for enjoying a taste of both worlds. These are great for the novice who is considering venturing out on longer fishing trips, or even the old-hand who might prefer a touch of luxury but refuses to sacrifice "fishability". The walk-arounds range from 20 to 30 feet and cater to hard-core fishing while providing cabin space for a quiet meal or a nap to recover from reeling in the bounty.

You can rest assured that if you choose to purchase a Grady White boat, you will be backed by an award winning company that excels in customer service. If that's not enough to ease your mind, you can throw in the fact that Grady Whites hold the highest resale value in the industry. With their impressive list of boats and equally impressive company standards, there is no question why they have been at the top for 8 years in a row.
