Forgive me brothers, for I have sinned...

I am strongly considering defecting the ranks this season, leaving behind a perfectly faithful companion. Another has caught my eye, and I judge her by not only her beauty, but here worthiness as well.

To cut to the chase, I am strongly considering a Grady 228G Seafarer, or possibly the 23 Gulfstream. The Gulfstream is really more boat than I need, but I digress...

If the day comes when you see me in the For Sale section, please forgive me. Now I will be gone...off to search the web for my new darling, and possibly to look for a 23 Coastal. :)

I've had the 24 Wellcraft and 24 Grady, but the Wellcraft had 1/3 more range on the same fuel and was much more fishable. The upside of the Grady is a compartment for everything. The Grady could run somewhat smoother upwind, but on those days you really didn't need to be that far offshore. If you switch brands, IMO don't get an old Grady before the Sea
V2 hull or the use of XL Plywood.
