Around Marblehead Harbor when I was growing up, Grady's were very common and well thought of. |

Around Marblehead Harbor when I was growing up, Grady's were very common and well thought of. I have to really scratch my memory on this but I think I heard that Grady did make a fine wood boat but never heard good about their fiberglass ones. Around where I was growing up in the east end of Long Island (Hamptons area) they were not popular but I did see some. What I think I heard wrt the fiberglass ones were that they weren't that sea worthy but on the other hand, I guess being around a long time does speak positive for Grady boats. Anyway as I said before, in my opinion, if the boat works for you, then it is the BEST boat regardless of brand or other opinions g. ps-- personally I have nothing against Grady because I never owned one but being you and possibly others like them, if I do buy a boat I will revisit them to see for myself!! Like someone else said, I guess boating never left my blood even after all the years ... a LOT of memories/adventures. |
