Back to Gradys. They are very popular up here in the northeast. I think
there are more of them around than any other manufacturer including Boston
Whaler. There's a large Grady dealer here in my hometown who stocks and
sells a lot of them.


I have never understood the attaction to Gradys. I think they are
ugly myself fully recognizing that beauty is in the eye of the
beholder.

Having said that, I also recognize that they are solid boats with a
great reputation (slightly overstated, but then what isn't?) and built
to last.

They are still ugly.


Gradys and Sea Ox. Stout boats, take a lickin' and keep on tickin'.
I swear they were designed by the same person.


I would tend to agree.

One of the guys in my club has a 26 Grady (I think it's 26) and we've
been out on Stellwagon with it in the winter for cod. It's a stout
boat no doubt about it.

Sea Ox is a great boat too, but ugly as sin.
