Grin.... Jim's thinking about a Grady!

No offense (I am only repeating what I remember and not my own
opinion) but back in the day when I was into boating I don't remember
Grady held in high praise but I know that could be different now since
that was many years ago. Back then one boat in high praise was the
boston whaler. There were some other boats that were considered
worthy but I don't remember them right now. To me the bottom line is
if the boat works for you and you enjoy it, it's the best boat g.

No offense, but Grady's have been building quality boats since the
wood days. Around Marblehead Harbor when I was growing up, Grady's
were very common and well thought of.
