Found something nice
 

It is about five hours from me and closer to the right price and set up I think.
In the Richmond VA. area.
Anyone know a good surveyor in that area?

Take a look, pretty extensive listing with a link to a lot of detailed photos.
Any opinions would be appreciated. Research shows a lot of praise.

Sharp looking boat willy!! Good Luck!

looks like a well cared for rig.

I can't find any one in Richmond to check it out, sorry, I tried. Oddly enough, had we been going on our original plans to the Outerbanks, I could have met you up there and looked at it, oh well!

The only thing that concerns me is there have been no responses to his ad...0...that's a tough crowd over at THT, but to have ZERO responses to a boat like that is curious...and if you couldn't launch the HS by yourself, do you expect to on this, much larger boat?....will you tow this or slip it?...

it would be a rack situation if I do it. a lot of pm'ing goes on over there. boat has been on a lift since new. was his Grandpa's boat, he passed two years ago and left it to him.
He put it on a new trailer and is in a bad finance situation now.

Have it checked over, but if I had the money I wouldn't hesitate to get it if all checks out. I believe by this time Grady had worked out most of tehre hull ride issues, and you can't beat the 4 stroke YAMAHA. I think the reason he's not get many responses is it's a tough market, and he's asking what it is worth. If it was priced lower the ad would be blown up and sold already.

Having owned a GW I highly recommend it.

The boat looks great but the price is too high IMO. 20 YO boat with an 8 year old motor. He wants to get the money from all his upgrades/maintenance out of it but we all know that just doesn't happen. Like those house shows everybody believes there boat is more special than those around it.

I think that boat would start to grab people's attention at $18,500 and be sold at $17K.


$2000 less

Honestly I still think he's priced right for waht it is. it's a 93 GRADY WHITE with an 05 250 YAMAHA 4 stroke. The engine would bring $5000-6000, hull would be an easy $8000, and that looks like a $2000 trailer. Put it all together rigged and $20500 seems about right for an asking price. I think you will like this one alot better than that 2470 PURSUIT, and would say get on down there and take a look at it. The good thing is right now it's a buyers market as teh boating season is over up north. here ina another month I would expect to see prices drop a bit more when most of the offshore bottom species go closed harvest.
