Default Grady White / Hydra Sport Center Console

I was wondering which boat you guys like better . I'm looking at used boats in the 24 ft CC like the GW Advance 247 or Hydra Sport Vector 2390 or 2400 .. Which would you choose ? Is the GW hull any better/ Worse than the HS ?

Thanks,
Vin

2400 Is a great hull, for the money you prb wont find anything better. Cant really comment on grady's, I have never been a fan of the way grady's look.. Mine is for sale, almost new, got detailed this week

I had a Grady 257 (newer model year of the same boat 247) for two plus years. It was a fine boat and was well made as Gradys are but I was not impressed with the ride in anything over a 2 ft chop. The deadrise is 19 or 20 degrees at the transom and it pounded some in the rough stuff. I moved up to a Regulator and what a difference it is. I have no experience in a Hydrasports.

My 2400 rides great. I was also looking at a Grady, and the reason I went with the HS was ride. I also dont like the GW's when they have the damn bowrail. Ride them both and make your own decision.
