MY LUCKY WEEKEND> I sold this boat and my overpriced radar dome to two different buyers this wknd!
************SOLD************ Thanks for looking.
Looking to sell my 96 Grady White Strike Center Console. Boat has a single Yamaha 250 outboard with 732 hours as of 8-18-06. Comes with a Furuno FCV 600 and a Raymarine C70 plotter plus Standard Horizon VHF. This is my first fishing boat and it is currently in Ocean City, MD in dry stack . I have a 2003 tandem trailer, aluminum, with disc brakes. I am the third owner. I fish offshore up to 60 miles and am looking to move up to another center in the 31-35 range with another motor. I have 8 gunnel mounted rod holders as well as 4 on the leaning post and 4 on the t top as well as gunnel mounted outrigger bases. Motor runs fine. Had lower unit serviced and pressure tested and replace plugs yearly with thermostats and block zincs . Can be viewed at Sunset Marina with advance notice. Call Joe @ 240 674-7476 with questions. Boat raises fish well.

I have had a ball with it. Caught a white marlin on our second trip out and couldnt believe it. It really raises fish well. Took my wife out last year to the Jackspot, off OC and caught 11 Bft and 17 large bluefish in 2 hours. Shes ready to move up in the world as am I. Thanks for the reply.

Mine is a 96 as well, I made a typo when placing the ad. It show some signs of being 10 years old but most of it was on the boat before I bought it. I try to keep it out of the sun and weather all year. Hate to sell it but want to go bigger. Common male problem I think!

There is two different colors of bottom paint, one dark, on top and the lighter blue under. The top coat is wearing off on the hull and the lower unit. I dont paint the bottom. It is kept in dry storage.

Hello,
Past Grady Marlin and Salifish owner here and would like something I can trailer. How does the whole package trailer and what type of truck do you pull it with ?

Trailers like a dream. My trailer is awesome, tracks straight and true and no bounce at all. I was towing with a Chevy Tahoe which struggled a bit but I now have a GMC duramax that has no problem at all, you cant tell its with you.
