Newer Grady-White boats use no wood in their main structure. Since 2015, every Grady-White has all-fiberglass stringers and transoms, which are the parts that carry the load. Older Grady-White boats did use some wood, but it was rot-resistant Perma Panel plywood sealed in fiberglass to keep water out. Grady-White also uses composite foam coring in the hull sides for strength without extra weight. If you are buying a used Grady-White built before 2015, it is smart to have a surveyor check the transom and stringers for moisture, just like you would with any older boat.
