About the 281 Coastal Explorer
The 281 CE is packed with Grady’s latest functional, aesthetic, and ergonomic innovations that load this boat with fishability and luxury. It is equally perfect as a serious fishing machine as it is a sandbar chariot. An added bonus, customers will be excited to choose from a single or dual engine option.
A battle-ready fishing platform with loads of rod holders, livewell options, casting platforms, and big fishboxes ready to be filled, the 281 CE is the first model to include a new standard portside electric fold down dive platform with ladder – just one of Grady’s newest innovations being introduced on this boat.
