Grady 282 Sailfish Review As usual, Grady has built a superb offshore pocket fisherman. I'm a tad too large to take advantage of the living quarters, but those smaller than I could weekend on it comfortably.Schools of finger mullet came out of Spooner's Creek with the regularity of waves hitting the shore. With no current to speak of and calm winds, we barely drifted while throwing the cast net into the shallows. A dozen throws filled our baitwell, and we moved off to a wreck about 5 miles west of Beaufort Inlet. Anytime you have a deepwater channel surrounded by shallows with lots of water moving through, tide changes can spawn some pretty choppy conditions. Grady-White's 282 Sailfish with its SeaV2 hull moved us through the bumpy inlet like it was nothing, and just like that we were on our way out to hammer the Spanish mackerel on light tackle. Performance Running in and out the inlet, the Grady 282 displayed absolutely no idiosyncrasies. It neither swerved running down-sea nor slammed running up-sea. Throughout the day, nary a drop of spray made it onto the windshield. Trolling speeds produced a clean wake with minimal surface white water. Twin Yamaha 225 four-strokes ran quietly at cruise and silently at idle. Top speed at 6,000 rpm turned out to be 45.6 mph not blisteringly fast but certainly plenty for a family walkaround, especially considering the 40-gph fuel consumption at that speed. You can cut that by about one-third (26 gph) by dropping the speed back to 37 mph at 5,000 rpm. At that rate, expect a range of approximately 284 statute miles figuring a 10-percent fuel cushion. ADVERTISING We fished, like so many families do, drifting and anchoring up on a wreck. Drifting, the 282 rolled a fair distance but without a snap roll, so you can securely negotiate movement around the boat in a beam sea. Anchored, the 282 came to, solid as a dock with very little yawing on the rode. One thing you should be aware of: Grady's SeaV2 hull really grabs the water, which gives terrific control, but I wouldn't recommend cranking into a hard-over turn at cruising speed.
