Grady-White Seafarer 228

The Grady-White Seafarer 228 is one of the most popular walkaround models ever built — versatile, dependable, and ready for fishing or family cruising. At 23 ft with a deep-V hull, it delivers Grady’s legendary ride quality whether you’re offshore chasing fish or enjoying a day on the water with the family. The safety of the 3 piece hull

These are the most advanced outboards built to date. Warranty until 2028. These G2s have the best gas mileage of any outboard and also have the most power to weight and have the least emmissions. I bought a bigger boat and am putting another G2 on it. The new boat can use two so I'm open to selling without the motor. The boat also have an all aluminum trailer, it's a super nice trailer. The trailer is $200 more.
