That's nice and all....but nowhere does it say anything about the motors. You can see they are Yamaha's in the picture, but that's it.

I am a 3 time owner of Grady Whites and we love the 33 Express. You can clearly see that the engines are 2 stroke OX66 Salt Water series. These were gas hogs but great engines. I own one now! That would soon need an upgrade....2-3 years max. The electronics are VERY middle of the road. With a boat of that size & quality.... That is in need of an upgrade. Without inspection out of the water we can't tell what condition the bottom job is in. Not to mention the overall condition of the hull itself. These are not areas of tlc. Engines and electronics are major upgrades that could set you back $50k. With that in mind.....not sure it is such a great deal. I wish the owner good luck and these things he surely knows!
they are in fact 0x66 250ies 2 stroke engines, with under 500 hours. (I think around 300 hours) I wonder what the fuel burn is on that boat. I bet its under 1 GPM.
Furuno and Northstar, auto pilot, boat is lift kept and I don't see any tears or stains in the pics. This is a 1/4 million dollar boat new fellas. How do you figure the motors need to be replaced at 300 hrs?
Bottom line is the motors have no value.So the price should reflect the hull only,whatever that maybe.Heck,people were giving zero value to conventional 2 smokers 4 years ago.If you don't believe that,try selling a boat with them.
I totally disagree with you AC
I have a set of 250 OX66's and they still run great.. a lot better than the last pair of 300 hpdi's I owned... there are still a lot of guys that would rather have those motors over the newer ones.
Thats like saying that a boat with Detroit 671's isn't worth anything. Bullsh1t

I will say that the GW 330 Express is one awesome boat with or without ox66 engines and I would buy that boat with those engines with no problem if I could.
actual fuel burn with a middle grounds load (basically tournament loaded for you tourney guys) 350 gal. of fuel full 52 of water 1400 lbs of ice and 6 people in 2-3 foot is exactly one mile to the gallon, 200 gallons on the way back in little lighter and a following sea we get 1.2
