Last week, Gene mentioned Grady-White's new 36' Express, which sounded
like one hell of a boat. Well, my friendly neighborhood GW dealer has one
in stock, sitting up in its yard. Trip Yamaha 250 four cycles.
It is an amazing boat, and even more amazing is the fact that the dealer
ordered it on spec. He's dropping it into the water this weekend, if the
weather is good, and predicts that it will be sold by next Monday.
About $380k as equipped from the factory, and a guess of another $40,000
for electronics. I don't know if it is standard, but this one had a bow
thruster, the first I've ever seen on a Grady.
A great ride for the bucks, and a good buy, when you consider what other
big-time 36-foot express style fishing boats are going with twin diesels.
Way overpriced, like most GW's. Even at list price you only have $54k in
the motors. That leaves $325k for the boat itself. Better be a really
nicely layed out and constructed boat. When a diesel in that size goes for
the same or a little less, and you are looking at 60-80k for power. But
since they have the GW name, they will sell the overpriced unit.
