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?



28 foot walkarounds. Thanks to all for the info and advice. I'll have to
plan a strategy! But given the high reputation of both boats we will
probably buy on price unless one seems markedly better than the other in a
trial. I'll be sure to report back!

Please do. And please give us permission to try out some of your recipes!
