Actually, I think it's going to be too narrow. I had the 22' Grady Seafarer with a hard top. It's the identical boat to the 24' Offshore except for the LOA. Better measure and find ooout if it can be mofified before buying. I doubt it. ???

Ok, we'eve got one saying too wide, one saying too narrow....I'm gonna agree with shicks. Only one way to find out and that is to measure best you can and see how close it is. If close you can make it work, if not I'd keep lookin.

Yeah, the beam is 8' 3" on the Grady, but it's a walkaround cuddy and the hard top doesn't go out to the gunwales. Trust me on this one as my 22' was identical in beam and the walkaround. It's too narrow.
