I had a 22' Grady-White Seafarer. Basically the same boat. Just 2' shorter. I also had the bracket on mine and agree with much of what Sailboat said.
All in all, an excellent boat. You didn't mention what year hull. Transoms were a problem in the early to mid '80's but not too much so with the full transom/bracket configuration. A couple other things to look at are the bottom of the bulkhead wall going into the cabin. Check for rot. Also, check the in-deck inspection plates. Until the later models, Grady seemed to forget to epoxy the hole after cutting out for the plate. They also didn't bed the plates with anything good like 3M 5200 or other good sealants.
Again, they're excellent boats and they hold their value.
