I had to laugh at this. We have narrowed our boat choices to two, Pursuit
and Grady White. I am arranging sea trials so we can decide which one we
want. The Grady White salesman tells me:

"Please try the Pursuit first. Then when you try the Grady White it will
be clear how much better it is. I guarantee you'll end up a Grady White
owner"

Then I call the Pursuit salesman to arrange the trial.. He tells me:

"Please try the Grady White first. Then when you try the Pursuit it will
be clear how much better it is. I guarantee you'll end up a Pursuit owner"

What's a buyer to think g?

When I was looking at an Acura TL and an Infiniti G35, the Acura guy used
the same line:
"Please drive the Infiniti first. Then when you drive the Acura, you'll see
how much sweeter of a car it is."

Unfortunately for him, one ride in the G told me all I needed to know. I
bought the Infiniti on the spot.

Pursuit and Grady both make fine boats. I doubt you could go wrong with
either one. If it were pre-1998 boats that you were comparing, I'd say go
with the Pursuit. Grady didn't start using Marine grade XL wood until
then...and water intrusion used to cause a lot of trouble with the older
Grady's. Today's Grady is as nice as any other boat out there, IMHO. What
size boat are you looking at?
