18' Grady White or 18' Edgewater or 18' Boston Whaler? Of course, Yamaha on the back and all center console! Opinions??



Too vague to answer. Need more info.

Let's start with the most important - are you Harry?

Oh, on that question your answer doesn't matter.

Nobody will believe you.

So I think we're done with this topic.

Try internet forums. But forget the BW. Way overrated and a bad deal.



Now YOU will be Harry, or Kevin, or loogy, or...... whatever insanity

pops into Scotty's head!!!

Ok, I'll try my best not to be too vague. Looking for a smaller - i.e. 18' boat - that will serve as a good fishing/family boat, and it will be used in a salt water environment. I don't want a larger boat than 18' since it will be trailer towed, and I don't want to try to tow anything larger. I'm looking for a center console since it will be used for fishing most of the time, and I'd like to have the room to roam around. I like the Yamaha and will probably get the 4-stroke 150.

I've heard that Boston Whaler is definitely not what it once was. My favorite BW was a 1965 13' with a 35 Evenrude. What a great little boat!

And, no, I'm not Harry or Kevin or loogy . . . Strange that you should ask! I'm just seeking opinions. I'm leaning towards the Edgewater, but the Grady White is a pretty nice boat, too. Your comment on the BW confirmed that my observations were correct about their being overrated, so I'll scratch that one off the list. That's the kind of opinion that will help! Thanks!
