My recipies are freely available to all. It's my way of keeping track of
them - I figured why not make them available to others.

For being so nice, I'll give you one of my favorites.

Baked Potato Salad

4 -5 pounds Baking Potatoes, peeled, cut in 3/4" chunks
1/4 cup Olive or vegetable oil
2 Envelopes Italian salad dressing mix
1 medium Green pepper - chopped
1 medium Sweet red pepper - chopped
1 bunch Green onions -- chopped
2 large Tomatoes - chopped and drained
4 Hard boiled eggs - chopped
6 slices Crisp Bacon - crumbled
¾ cup Mayo
¾ cup Sour Cream
1 tablespoon Vinegar
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dried basil
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
½ teaspoon Garlic powder

In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with oil and dressing mix. Place the
potatoes in a greased pan large enough to hold them. Bake at 400 degrees for
about 45 minutes or until tender. Put in refrigerator to cool.

Mix the last eight ingredients in a large measuring cup or small bowl.

When the potatoes have cooled, transfer them to a large pot. Add the peppers,
onions, tomatoes, eggs, bacon, and the mixture from the small bowl. Mix well,
but gently.

Transfer to serving dish, cover with saran wrap, and refrigerated for a couple
hours.

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!

Pursuit- buy the Pursuit!!!

I like the name - manly name - Pursuit. I own a Pursuit.

Grady White sounds like a Sanford and Son character. :)

Seriously, dollar for dollar, the Pursuit will probably give you more
boat. I contend that Grady's are over priced much like Boston Whalers
are.

It does not mean that Grady's are any less of a boat than Pursuit - I
just think that your dollar will stretch further in a Pursuit than it
will in a Grady.

My Dad's first boat was a Grady White back in the wood boat days - a
twenty foot hard top cruiser and it was a great boat. I fish with
some guys who have 282 Grady's and I have not had a bad day on their
boats.

However, Pursuit, in particular in the class you are looking at, ride
the same, are very well built and will most likely cost you less money
initially. Pursuits also hold their value well - not quite as well as
a Grady, but still - if you maintain your boat, it will retain most of
it's real value.

As long as you are in the 28' category, you might want to look at one
of these.

I gotta tell you - this is one hell of a boat.

In any case, play dumb, ask questions, don't let on that you know
anything and have fun looking.

Good luck.

Tom

Hi Peter,
I am a marine insurance agent. From my stand point, both of them are
great boats. I think it comes down to your personal preferences
Thanks

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?

The difference won't be the boat ... it will be the sea conditions at the
time of the trial.

Unless you can try both boats on the same day, in the same area... it ain't
a fair comparison.

Pick a rotten, windy, choppy day for both and buy the one you feel more
comfortable in.
