grady white vs sailfish

[mronzo]

Didn't i tell you on the other sites to get the Grady?

Two great boats. I drooled over the 290 at the last boatshow, it's my favorite Grady. That being said there should be a pretty big cost difference between the boats and dispite resale I would rather not tie up my cash in a boat waiting for the day I sell it. There also seems to be a ton of used Gradys for sale and very few Sailfish Wa so this might make it easier to sell the Sail. Lastly, I don't own a Grady ( I have a 2660wa Sailfish) but am willing to bet the Grady will have fewer warranty issues. The thinking was if I have to fix a loose screw or chase a loose wire and save 60K then so be it. The Sail also has the longnitudal varible deadrise bottom which I can tell you works VERY well. Not sure of how the Grady rides.

Both companies have excellant reputations for customer service (I'll vouch for Sailfish- they were great).

Either way, both very nice boats and I would have a survey done before accepting delivery. It is a small percentage of the boat cost yet will insure the dealer has fixed all issues before delivery saving you any downtime.
