Grady White 254 Kingfish Sailfish

Description

Hello you are looking at a Grady White Kingfish/Sailfish 25'4 boat. This is an excellent fishing boat. It has aprox 150-160 hours on a NEW not rebuilt Mercuiser 5.7L engine. I have the receipt from EBB Tide marina in Greenwich CT showing the install...at a cost of $9,364.00.
Many new parts and always well maintained.New edelbrock marine carb installed this season NEVER USED yet.New batteries, tilt motor, trim motor, propNew headliner, and interior cushions all done by Amity Upholstery in Newburgh, NY - Cost 3kHull is in excellent condition. This is a DRY boat. 9.5 foot beam..nice and wide. Transom is in excellent condition.New radio.OLD GPS, Depth finder and fish finder. This boat will need a new one. The old one works but its from the late 80's. So I would put some new electronics in this boat. Buff out some of the scuffs on the side and you will have one hell of a boat. On the left hand side of the boat in the middle there is one three to four inch spot along the bottom of the rub rail where I bumped a pole on the dock and the gel coat will need to be fixed. Nothing major but it should be addressed at some point. One of the port windows is leaky needs a new seal or a new window...might just replace it. I had this boat winterized every year and it was always well maintained. The boat has a restored original teak wood swim platform it came out really really nice with ladder. The boat is in excellent condition for her age. Again Mechanically this boat is great. Engine, outdrive, hydraulics are new or reconditioned. The engine is NEW cost for the engine alone was 6,500 plus installation gets you too $9,364.00. Can send you a copy of the receipt if wanted. Also have a two inch thick folder of all work performed to the boat in the past say 12 years. When I purchased the boat the fuel line to the gas tank was drying out. The entire line was taken out. The fuel tank was removed and completely cleaned out. They did a pressure test and it was fine. It has an electric windlass anchor that was overhauled as well last year. I installed LED lights all under the top and all work was done by a professional it is great for night fishing. It has two bilge pumps (fore and aft) One was changed a season ago the other works well. There are three storage bins under the V berth. Great for storage. There is a porta potty. Life jackets etc all come with it. There is an older fighting chair it works well could be tightened up a bit. It also has a sink (currently not working never messed with it). It has a great hard top with 5 or 6 rocket launchers. 6 rod storage slots under the gunwales and 6 rod holders on the gunwales. There are three storage compartments on the rear top of the transom. One has a drain and can be used to store catch. The other two are good for dry storage. There is a water washdown pump and hose working uses water from outside of the boat. It has the expected red Perko switch to choose one battery or both or off.
It also comes with a newer 2003 or 2005 (can't remember) Ventura dual axle trailer. New master cylinder just installed this season. Brakes work well and I changed the nose roller. It is max 8,500 pounds (previous owner told me that) So heavy duty for sure. Great trailer...one of the fenders was hit by someone in the yard moving it around its not terrible but wanted to mention...
In summary is this an older boat YES. Will it break your wallet at 200k...NO If you want to look like you have a 200k+ boat...paint it baby blue like the new ones put some new decals on it or emblems and new electronics and you too can look like you have a brand new Grady. It is the same hull construction it is a solid dry boat. OH I also have in the box 1,000.00 of teak wood that I ordered I had the idea could be installed along the inside of the back of the boat. To make it look like one of the great Trojans or Viking boats. If the new owner would like it I will show you my idea. Some may or may not like this teak wood lining idea. It is cosmetic and of course preference of style. I will throw it in if you want it. I have a new coast guard kit comes with it as well. You can cruise at 18-20 knots all day long and can move at 30 knots around 3,500 RPM. It can do more for sure but I don't like to push it. The hard top is solid and helps extend the season during the colder months and keep the sun off you in the summer months. I can send video of it running if you get in touch. It has full canvas and plastic surround enclosure as well. However it is decent shape but not new...zippers are stiff but everything works. Boat always marina maintained and kept by myself and previous owner. It is currently at Hannafords Marina in New Windsor, NY. We can bring it to the Hudson River to test it out. Come check it out take it for a ride kick the propeller around. Happy to do so. No joy riders serious inquires for test rides only please. Don't waste my time or yours. Clear paperwork for the trailer and boat in hand. It is a super fun boat. Not too big and not too small. It has the desirable walk around as well. I only have one interior picture I never took others. We slept on it one night was nice. The cushions came out really nice. I need to get some more interior pictures. No loans or liens on the paperwork. Questions nine 1 7 87 3 7 zero 02 - Bottom line great value for the dollar. You wont find a better, drier, solid fishing boat for the money. I am even willing to give you the mechanics name and number at the yard if you want to speak with someone who has done a lot of work to this boat. I am that confident about it. Remember 150-160 hours (I cannot remember exactly what the hour meter says) on a NEW Merc engine. Not much more to say.
Why am I selling it....I just had my third baby and buying a new house away from the water and it kills me because I almost have it where I want it but now is not the time. Check my other listings selling a lot of my toys. I need kitchen cabinets and bathroom tile now! All are in great well maintained condition. There will be another time. This is your time to get a great fishing boat at a great deal. Fly into White Plains (HPN) or Stewart Airport and check it out. I'll take paypal if you must but really I prefer cash.
Check prices on the new Grady White Freedom and Canyon prices - You'll see for what your getting here its a steal. You could 100% paint this boat to make it look like a new one.
