They are great boats, my buddies is a 1987 24 footer and it is a good boat, it is heavy as heck and in big swells it does good. But in the normal chop or sloppy seas it rides like crap. He cant stand it either. My V20 rides thru the same stuff much better.
The other issue is that during the 70's into the late eighties Grady used a plywood that did not nold up well along with the issue of they used staples to hold the sheets together in the transom. Guess what happens to staples soaked in moisture for a few years.
Up here there are two or three mariners that are good glass and transom men. They told me that the old Grady;s make up a large percentage of their rebuilds because of it.
