Grady White 306 Bimini

If you know of one that might be for sale, I would like to talk to the owner(s)... 1999-2009.



I am in a Grady Escape, a 20' center console with no T-top. Perfect for in close rocky shore fishing. A big feeling 20 footer. But I can't handle long periods in the hot sun like I used to, so it is time to get some shade. I could add a T-top, but the boat is better without one, IMO. So if I am going to be adding a T-top, I might as well add some length too. Built in head in console was a plus at the homefront. 30 is the largest I would consider for what I do as I get in pretty tight. And it might be too big for that, but that is my starting point.

The 306 is nice, but too big for what I do, which is drift tight to rocks. So going to take a ride on a 283, but it has those notorious F225 Yamaha four strokes that are known for dry exhaust corrosion, which is often fatal if not caught in time.
So my question is if anyone can give me a realistic current cost for repowering with 250 four strokes?

Yes. The MSRP for the F225 Yamaha is $26470.00. Times two! Plus installation....
