Grady-White Freedom 235

Typical used values

Ranges interpolate 3 hand-anchored years at 5%/yr depreciation off-curve. Hours and saltwater service further adjust; a full Deal Report scores those for a specific listing.

Known issues to check (2)

• Medium Single Yamaha F300 is the near-universal rig; the engine's documented service history is most of the purchase decision, as with every Grady.
• Low Dual consoles get family use on top of fishing use: check bow seating hatches, head compartment plumbing, and canvas/enclosure condition — the items pure fishing boats don't wear out.

Pre-purchase inspection checklist

1. Yamaha dealer service pull by serial — non-negotiable at this price.
2. Enclosure canvas and isinglass condition (replacement quotes are high).
3. Standard Grady checks: fuel tank age on earlier hulls, transom and bracket condition.

Typical engines (1)

• Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300) outboard · gas · base score 90/100 · high-use ≥ 150 hrs/yr

  The benchmark for outboard reliability and resale. F150 and F300 routinely run 2,000+ hours with routine service. Top-tier buyer trust — a Yamaha-powered hull sells faster than the same boat on any other brand.

  100-hour service intervals; 10-year/1,000-hour anode and water-pump attention. Saltwater units: check the bus bar and starter solenoid behind the powerhead for corrosion.

Resale liquidity (87/100)

Grady's best-selling dual console — the family-plus-fishing crossover done by the brand the resale market trusts most. Documented examples sell fast at strong numbers.
