New Grady White Boats & Scout Boat Models now at Cannons Marina

Grady White 192 Dual Console

Grady-White’s newly reintroduced Tournament 192 is a decidedly family oriented dual console model loaded with classic looks, value and versatility.  It’s variable dead-rise hull, the Sea V2, features an 8-foot beam and a cockpit depth of 25 inches. With a top speed of 45 mph, fuel consumption of 4.6 mpg at 27 mph and a fuel tank capacity of 60 gallons, the 192 is built for a full day of fishing or just plain fun on the water.

The 192 is designed specifically to be matched to a Yamaha mid-range 4-stroke engine to provide top performance in a very affordable yet high-value package that is equally at home on lakes, rivers or inshore waters. As with all Grady-White boats, the Tournament 192 reflects their heritage of quality, safety, reliability, value and performance.

A new flush mounted radio box comes standard with an all-new instrument panel. There’s ample, easy to access storage for water toys, tackle, skis and pretty much anything else your crew may need. A true self-bailing cockpit and oversized scuppers means clean up and maintenance is a snap.

The 192’s bow features roomy seating plus a storage area on the port side and a 44-quart insulated cooler on the starboard. Grady’s trademark oversized cup holders are placed within convenient reach from every seat. The helm has comfy seating and easy-to-read backlit switches along with a heavy-duty stainless steel steering wheel. To top it all off, a Kenwood sound system with optional MP3/auxilary radio will have your onboard guests dancing on the deck.

Behind the cockpit you’ll find two jump seats, port and starboard, each with fixed backrests. All cleats are recessed and there’s a built-in swim platform with easy to grip handles and a telescoping swim ladder.

Grady-White 230

Grady-White’s brand new Fisherman 230 is the company’s tenth current center console model that includes new, well-conceived features and improved roominess that focus on a boating and fishing family’s needs. There’s an oversized aft cockpit. The bow sports a 72-quart removable cooler with cushioned top that does double duty as additional seating for two. Tucked into the console is a stand-up head and for shade they’re offering an optional T-top. The 230 clearly meets Grady-White’s goal for a model based on value, function and versatility.

A single Yamaha four-stroke engine, such as their super-efficient 250 HP V6, is a perfect match, and the 230’s wide-beam (8’6”), SeaV2 hull yields balanced stability at almost any speed and in just about any conditions.

There’s a 35-gallon, insulated live well that can be used as a cooler, a large storage box at the transom, practical helm seating and flush mounted electronics that are easily seen. In the bow, port and starboard 101-quart insulated fish boxes also double as seating and an optional insert changes the entire bow into a casting platform

The 230’s 120-gallon fuel capacity adds versatility that makes this winning inshore fishing boat as good a match offshore.

Ever wonder why Yamaha Motors are so superior to any other outboard engine?

Yamaha Motors New Marine Manufacturing Plant

As a Florida boat dealer I have always felt that the Yamaha outboard brand is superior.

Being a Yamaha five-star certified service center, we see very few issues with the Yamaha outboard motors and Yamaha parts. The word “reliability” is personified by Yamaha. Just ask any Florida fishing guide who’s fishing boat is powered by Yamaha.

Why flush your Yamaha motor?
