State-of-the-art engineering
Grady-White’s patented SeaV2 hull features a continuously variable vee, which sharpens as it moves from transom to bow. At the stern, the angle of the deadrise (between the hull and the horizontal plane) is under 20 degrees, sharpening to around 30 degrees amidships. At the bow, the angle between the hull and the horizontal surface of the water is more than 50 degrees, a deeply pronounced vee that creates a sharp point of entry for the boat, cutting through the waves with ease while providing ample depth for stability.
Obsessive attention to detail
Every Grady-White boat is made by hand, with woven fiberglass forming the hulls and the deck. Grady White’s center consoles are more beamy than any other brand out there, adding interior space that accommodates more features while remaining highly functional.
Incredible safety and security
Grady-White boats are unsinkable, thanks to their foam-filled construction and self-bailing cockpit. All Gradys have basic foam flotation, and boats smaller than 20 feet have level flotation.
Excellent resale value
Many Cannons customers choose to keep their Gradys forever. However, if you decide you want to trade in or trade up, you’re guaranteed excellent resale value thanks to all the points outlined above—superior construction, top-of-the-line details and excellent safety.
