The Grady White branding is revered the world over by serious game-fisherman who ply their trade in genuine bluewater conditions. The Seafarer 226 walkaround model now adds the creature comforts as well.
Grady White is one of the oldest and most respected names in American power boating, having been around now for well over 50 years. In that time they have carved out a most envious reputation as a no-nonsense very forgiving hull from which to sport-fish. All these models are trailerable and all incidentally are outboard powered only; Grady White have drawn a line in the sand, preferring to run with this mode of power that they believe offers better performance while at the same time maximizing the all-important cockpit area.
Designed by respected design house, C. Raymond Hunt and Associates, the Grady White range offers their clients the flexibility of owning a vessel that can be conveniently towed to wherever the fish are running.
This model goes one better however, in that in amongst fishing features such as rigging poles, rocket launcher, live-wells and hardtop, this Seafarer also offers a modicum of creature comforts that make the journey and the occasion, just that much more pleasurable. All Grady Whites are deliberately spec’d to appeal to a local audience and as such, items like a set of cleats, decent upholstery, a bow rail, swim platform and dive ladder, a cabin hatch, a macerator head and even a small food preparation area in the cabin – found their way onto this ‘local edition’.
Grady White will proudly tell you their composite hand-laid hulls are built to overkill proportions, for their hulls are all hand-laid FRP, strengthened at appropriate points by composite cloths. The company utilises a moulded FRP under floor ‘spine’ which is laminated to both the floor and the hull bottom, then the cavities are all foam-filled to maximize buoyancy. That’s for the hull, but the ‘over-engineered’ philosophy extended even further than that, to items like for instance the FRP hardtop, a rather substantial and certainly magnificently presented anodized aluminium tower-style mounting frame for the FRP hardtop, complete with rocket launcher rod rack and side rod holders – it would not be out of place on a full blown luxury cruiser or game-fisher.
As was the case with the ‘local’ features and appointments, this boat was fitted with an appropriate Yamaha 250hp V-6, 4-stroke, 4.2 Liter outboard. Running with an impressive top speed of 39.4 knots (45.36mph); especially so when one considers the generous deadrise.
Every manufacturer has their own little ‘buzz-word’ when it comes to their respective hull designs and in Grady White’s instance they labelled their hull shape the SeaV2. In reality quite different to most other hulls in that the chines and strakes are more-so generous wedges rather than your typical slimline trailer boat examples, these appendages certainly from a ride perspective – offered genuine ‘bite’ and grip when underway.
