[gw204]

REDUCED to $22,500/obo

Here's an opportunity to own one of the finest fishing boats ever produced by Grady White. The 252G Sailfish has long been one of Grady White’s most popular models. The large cockpit, spacious cabin, enclosed head and generous amounts of storage make it an excellent choise for those seeking an affordable, family-friendly fishing boat. Her SeaV2 variable deadrise hull makes for a smooth, efficient ride and a stable drift. The full transom w/ bracket provide an increased safety factor while maximizing cockpit square footage. The deep, wide walkaround gives excellent access to the bow and the cabin provides overnight accomodations for 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 small children.

This boat is ready to have the new owner install their power of choice. Engines and all associated rigging has been removed and sold separately.

A set of 200 Optimaxes would be perfect for this boat 8)

A little food for thought...

I've been doing a little casual engine shopping to see what it would take to get her powered and ready to go again (either for me or for any interested parties). So far, these are the best numbers I've gotten...

Yamaha 200 HPDIs - $27,500 for brand new engines w/ command link rigging. That didn't include the cost of props, the required throttle and control cables or installation through. I already have props that should work and I would rather use the Teleflex TXtreme cables that are less expensive (but said to have smoother operation) that OEM Yamaha cables.

Mercury 200 Optimaxes - Approx. $27,100 for brand new engines installed. I am pretty sure that could be negotiated down a bit as well as I have worked with this dealer before. The same dealer also has a pair of certified pre-owned 2003 200 Optis for $7995/each. Those had under 400 hours and came with a 1 year factory warranty. They have also been meticulously gone through (not because of a failure) by Merc. and anything that wasn't up to new specs was supposedly replaced. With the cost of rigging...and a little negotiation....they could probably be on the boat for $15K to $16K. I need to call these guys back and see what they can really do on either pair of engines though.

Suzuki 200s from Ed's Marine - Approx. $28000 + installation (I think I Suzuki will allow the customer to install) if memory serves.

Suzuki 175s from Ed's Marine - Approx $24,500 + installation.


If I end up repowering it myself, I will probably go with those '03 Optis. The cost and the performance I have seen from my buddy's 225 Opti make them a very attractive choice. The 175 Suzukis are
also very tempting... I image that with either you would have a very
efficient rig at any speed. Also, none of the above require the bracket to
be changed, they can all be mounted on 26" centers vs. the 29" that Yamaha 4-strokes require.

Like I said, something to think about...

Took these pics last week. This is a big 25'er and would be an awesome rig with a pair of DFIs or 4-strokes.

 

[gw204]

Maybe I could hook you up w my Merc source

Those must be the first F225s that Merc bought from Yamaha and then repainted...

Perfect hull for a hobby guy to power up just the way he wants it. :wink:
