Grady White Center Console Boats

Center Consoles from Grady White. All that you need to know.

Center Console boats have become rather ambiguous in terms of identifying the type of craft that a person is purchasing. True, the boat has the console in the center location, but other than that, the variations between various models, hulls, and power configurations lend to a bit of confusion when it comes to the CC. Grady White has 8 different Center Console boat models available. To help minimize the frustration that can be found in trying to determine the best center console boats for sale, we expound here upon Grady White’s collection of Center Consoles.

The models offered

There are 8 models which are offered by Grady White under the classification of CC. These are broken down into 2 groups, the Grady White Fisherman and the Grady White Canyon series. Under the Grady White Fisherman series, you have the option of the Grady White Fisherman 180, Grady White Fisherman 216, Grady White Fisherman 236, and Grady White Fisherman 257. As with most vessels, the numbers correspond to the length of the vessel. Most of these craft are under the 25’ LOA with the exception of the Grady White Fisherman 257. The larger Center Console boats from Grady White are the Grady White Canyon 271 FS, the Grady White Canyon 306, Grady White 336, and Grady White Canyon 376. An optional SureShade electrical retractable shade with Sunbrella canvas is available on some models.

On all models apart from the Grady White 180 the center console is coupled with a hardtop. Of course, the size and the features on the hardtop depend upon the size of the vessel, as the beam is a bit different on the 37 (13’2”) to the 21’ option (8’6”). All of the CCs are driven by a Helm Master w/Set Point Yamaha Helm Master Control System.

What is the main function of Grady White Center Console Boats?

The center console boats offered by Grady White are primarily for fishing and charter angler purposes. Boats, whether in the Grady White Fisherman Series or in the Grady White Canyon Center Console boats for sale, all have ample tackle space, rod holders, and rocket rod holders. Additionally, the boats can be equipped with multiple live wells and bait boxes. Some consoles may have fish finder or water navigation systems to further assist the angler. Look for updates and packages when seeking a CC for sale.

While the Grady White Center Console boats for sale are primarily for the angler, this does not seclude it from leisure and cruising, especially in the larger boats which feature small cabin space for extended ventures in deep water. Packaging, seating, the option for flat screen televisions, grills, and speaker additions, not to mention the dive doors and sports packaging details can add a dual functionality and versatility to the Center Consoles.

Grady Power for the CCs

Grady White Center console boats for sale are powered by Yamaha 4 stroke engines. On the smaller 180, the Grady White boat is powered by a single 150HP, on the larger Grady White Canyon 271 FS the boat is powered by twin 300HP engines, while the Grady White Canyon 376 features three 350HP engines. The main power feature to consider when looking at the Grady White CCS is the Yamaha branding. Engines which are from other manufacturers, such as a Mercury or a Suzuki are post market. Boat buyers are apt to find such motors on older models. This does not mean that the CC is defective, but rather that the owner has opted to have a newer motor to keep the boat in pristine condition. Ask the owner if the motor is under a transferrable warranty when you find post production installs.

Where should this boat be used.

The Center Console boats from Grady White tend to have a Deep V design. The transom of the boat is a bit boxy, but not to the extent of creating unnecessary drag. The beam of the boats and LOA work well for navigating offshore trips. Due to the deep hull design as well as the weight of the vessel, it is not intended that the boat be used in shallow waters or in shoals. Smaller CCs may be able to navigate some freshwater, but overall the CCs are best used in the Atlantic and the Gulf, not in lakes, rivers, and streams.
