I have the chance to get a 1970 21Ft Gradywhite cuddy, that was converted from an I.O. to an outboard. The Boat has an outboard on it now>>>a 85Hp. <br />I have not seen this yet>>>just talked briefly with the owner on the phone. He is selling it without an engine. I have a 1971,18ft Westwind with a fresh 1978 115Johnny & would be pulling the engine off the WestWind to put on the Grady.<br /><br />Does anyone know anything about the 1970, 21ft gradys??? Are they fiberglass hulls??? I aked & he said it was glass & wood>>>I don't know if he meant wood substructure, or wood hull with glass skin??? Its a lapstreak hull from what I see in the newspaper add>>>>I just can't get to see it until later in the week.<br />IS ANYONE FAMILURE WITH THESE BOATS??? And could you give any advise??? <br />I am looking to upgrade for inshore ocean fishing instead of always being in the bays. I LOVE my WestWind, shes in great shape>>>but it is only 18ft with 7 1/2ft beam & a modified Vee>>>bangs in rough water!<br />THANKS!!!
