Grady-White boats are expensive because of how they are built and what comes with them. Each Grady-White hull is hand-laid with thick fiberglass, fitted with the brand's SeaV2 hull, and rigged with Yamaha outboard power, which costs more than mass-produced boats. Grady-White also builds in the United States with a long-tenured crew and tests heavily for safety and ride quality. On top of that, Grady-White holds its value better than almost any other brand, so a higher price up front often means a higher resale price later. In short, you pay more for a Grady-White, but you get build quality, safety, and long-term value in return.
