The grady is a lifetime boat, built to be used everyday for as long as you live. You pay a great deal for that quality, but the resale shows they are generally worth it.

Bahhh .....

The resale shows that they have an awesome marketing thing going, nothing more. Fiberglass is fiberglass. Grady White doesn't use some secret alien technology. I spent some time on a Grady. It was nice. No nicer than Striper, Pursuit, and lots of others. OTOH, it rode like s__t in a chop. This particular boat the owner ended up selling after 5 years for MORE THAN HE PAID FOR IT. He hadn't added a thing to it, either. I guess Gradys improve with age? I don't think so. He replaced it with a Pursuit, and now says that the Pursuit is nicer than the Grady was.
