About this Boat:

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.
