Above: The bow seating is comfortable,
the space is deep and we liked the
recessed hand rails.

SPECIFICATIONS
Engine: Yamaha F-300 Four-Stroke,
300 HP, 4.2L V-6 engine, 254.4 ci, with
DOHC 24 valve layout and variable
camshaft timing. Multi-point electronic
fuel injection.
Propeller: 15 1/2 X 17 SWS II SDS

signs feature a high bow and what I call
a "Carolina sheer" like you see on some
big sport fishing yachts. The sheer line
curves down in the aft section beyond
mid-ships to give a lower line as you
move to the stern. The high bow sheer
is good for breaking through big waves
while the lower hull depth toward the
stern looks good and puts you close to
the water for fishing and swimming.
Grady-White also claims that a
SeaV² hull with its variable deadrise delivers a tremendous righting force, giving
impressive tracking in quartering seas
and better handling in following seas.
SeaV² hulls are designed exclusively

for Grady-White by C. Raymond Hunt
Associates, the originators of the modified vee. This all works very well and we
will talk more about performance later,
but let's get into the features that buyers
are looking for when they are first shopping.
At an overall length of 25'7" including the swim platforms on a beam of
8'6", this is a big 23-footer! That partly
explains the weight and the boat has a
full fiberglass inner liner which adds
strength and convenience too. Starting
at the stern, there is lots of transom
room for the Yamaha F 300 outboard so
you get a big swim platform with wet
