What Every Fishing Vessel Aspires to Be

When the water is calling and the fish are biting, you need to have the perfect fishing vessel for the job ready and waiting for you. Grady White is known for producing some of the best and well equipped fishing vessels on the market today. The Grady White Fisherman 257 boats for sale are the perfect vessel for anything you want to do on the water. From excellent fishing to a day of family fun out on the water.

Power and Performance

There is no question about the need for power while out on the water. A boat needs to have ample speed to get it out to the fishing grounds deep in the water as well as handle any rough seas that can sometimes seem to come out of nowhere. The Grady White Fisherman 257 boat was not designed by novice boat designers, but avid fishermen themselves within the design team. They chose to include a twin engine configuration for this vessel with a maximum horsepower rating of 400, so you can choose to equip your boat with a variety of different brands and speeds of motors to get the capabilities you need for how you intend to boat. Among the most popular choices for the boat is a set of Yamaha 150 outboards. With this engine configuration you get the speed needed for any sea excursion along with the fuel efficient quality that Yamaha is known for.

Storage is a Must

Apart from the apparent need for power to take on the rigors of the ocean, a salt water fishing boat has to have ample storage throughout. The designers at Grady White have integrated storage compartments into every nook and cranny of the Grady White Fisherman 257 boats for sale. The bow consists of two 120 quart fish boxes beneath he seat cushions with an additional 185 gallon fish box at the transom of the boat. Storing bait is easy with the 32 gallon live bait well located in the transom area to keep bait fresh throughout even the longest fishing excursion. When it is time to have a cold drink or a snack, the large Yeti cooler slides out from beneath the bait prep station behind the helm seating area. Vertical rod storage is located at the center console and horizontal rod storage is on either side of the boat.

Entertaining Too

The Grady White Fisherman 257 boats for sale may have been designed to be an excellent fishing vessel, but the designers did not forget that there is a true need for entertaining features as well. The bow features an optional table insert and the seats throughout the boat are made to be among the most comfortable and durable seats on the market. An additional aft facing bench seat is available for those that want to watch the fishing action going on at the stern of the boat and there is even a full lockable head compartment located in the front of the center console. The front opening enables the space to be much easier to access than the standard side access that is popular on most center console boats.
