OVERVIEW

Presented for your consideration by AMP Marine Sales of Joplin, Missouri, this 2018 Grady-White Freedom 235 is a superlative example of one of the most respected and versatile boats on the water today. Finished in the elegant and desirable Coastal Fog White, this dual console cruiser stands as a testament to exceptional design, uncompromising build quality, and meticulous ownership. The Freedom 235 is renowned for its remarkable ability to seamlessly transition between a serious offshore fishing machine, a comfortable and safe family day-cruiser, and a capable platform for watersports and weekend adventures. Grady-White's legendary SeaV² hull design ensures a ride that is famously soft, dry, and stable, instilling confidence in conditions that would send lesser boats back to the dock. This specific vessel, bearing Hull Identification Number GRYAB123J718, is a turn-key package that combines robust performance with luxurious comfort. Powered by the maximum-rated Yamaha 300 HP four-stroke outboard with a remarkably low 300 hours of use, this boat has been lightly enjoyed and professionally maintained to the highest standards. Its excellent overall condition, from the gleaming gelcoat to the pristine upholstery, reflects a history of care and pride. For the discerning buyer seeking a premium, do-it-all vessel without the new-boat price tag, this 2018 Grady-White Freedom 235 represents an unparalleled opportunity.

ENGINE & PROPULSION

At the heart of this Freedom 235 lies the formidable and highly sought-after Yamaha F300 4.2L V6 Offshore outboard engine. Delivering a potent 300 horsepower, this engine represents the pinnacle of Yamaha's four-stroke technology and is the perfect power match for the 235's hull. This engine is celebrated throughout the marine industry for its bulletproof reliability, smooth power delivery, and impressive fuel efficiency. The 4.2-liter displacement provides immense torque throughout the RPM range, allowing the boat to plane quickly with a full crew and accelerate with authority. The "Offshore" designation signifies its robust build, designed to withstand the rigors of saltwater environments and long runs to the fishing grounds. With just 300 hours logged—which translates to only about 60 hours per season—this engine is merely broken in and promises countless years of dependable service. A key indicator of its excellent care is a recent and comprehensive fresh engine service, including oil, filters, and a full systems check, ensuring it performs to factory specifications. The engine is paired with a durable stainless-steel propeller, optimized for this specific boat and engine combination to provide an ideal balance of acceleration and top-end speed. The Yamaha Digital Electronic Controls provide silky-smooth, fly-by-wire shifting and throttle response, eliminating the clunkiness of traditional cable systems and enhancing the overall driving experience.

PERFORMANCE & FUEL

The combination of the efficient Yamaha F300 and Grady-White's legendary SeaV² hull results in a performance profile that is both exhilarating and economical. This Freedom 235 gets on plane with minimal bow rise and settles into a comfortable and efficient cruising speed of approximately 28-30 MPH, where the engine is purring quietly and consuming fuel at an impressive rate. At these cruising speeds, passengers enjoy a stable and exceptionally dry ride. When conditions allow and speed is desired, a push of the throttle will bring the vessel to a top speed approaching 50 MPH, showcasing the true performance potential of this package. The ample 115-gallon fuel tank provides an extensive cruising range, easily exceeding 300 miles on a single fill-up under typical conditions. This capability eliminates range anxiety and allows for full-day offshore excursions or long-weekend coastal explorations without the constant need to plan for fuel stops. Whether you are running out to the canyons, cruising the intracoastal waterway, or towing the kids on a tube, the performance of the Freedom 235 is designed to impress and deliver. The boat's handling is precise and predictable, carving through turns with confidence and remaining stable both at speed and at rest.

HULL & DIMENSIONS

The foundation of any Grady-White is its exclusive SeaV² hull, a design that has set the industry standard for ride comfort and performance for decades. Unlike conventional single-deadrise V-hulls, the SeaV² design is a "continuously variable V" hull that features a sharp, narrow deep-V at the bow to slice through chop, which gradually flattens to a wider, more stable section at the transom. This unique geometry allows the Freedom 235 to cut through waves like a much larger vessel while providing rock-solid stability when drifting or at anchor. The result is a peerlessly soft and dry ride that minimizes fatigue and maximizes enjoyment for everyone aboard. This 2018 model has a substantial Length Overall (LOA) of 23 feet and a generous beam of 8 feet 6 inches. This wide beam contributes significantly to its lateral stability and opens up the interior to create a remarkably spacious and usable deck area. The hull has a deadrise of 20 degrees at the transom, a crucial element of its offshore capability. A shallow draft of just 20 inches (1 foot 8 inches) allows for exploration of coves, sandbars, and inshore areas that are inaccessible to many boats of this size. The dry weight of approximately 4,050 pounds is a testament to its robust, hand-laid fiberglass construction, which provides a solid, planted feel in the water. The beautiful Coastal Fog White gelcoat is not only aesthetically pleasing but also notoriously durable and easy to maintain.

HELM & ELECTRONICS

The helm of the Freedom 235 is a masterclass in ergonomic design and technological integration, providing the captain with complete command and situational awareness. Dominating the dash is a top-of-the-line Garmin 8612xsv 12-inch multifunction display. This large, sunlight-readable, high-resolution touchscreen serves as the nerve center for navigation, fish-finding, and engine monitoring. It comes preloaded with highly detailed BlueChart g3 coastal charts and integrates a powerful CHIRP sonar, providing crystal-clear target separation and depth readings. The "xsv" designation means it is also capable of SideVü and DownVü scanning sonar for photorealistic views of structure and fish beneath the boat. The Garmin unit is networked with the Yamaha engine via NMEA 2000 protocol, displaying all critical engine data such as RPM, fuel flow, temperature, and hours directly on the screen. The hydraulic tilt steering ensures effortless control, while the deluxe helm chair with flip-up bolster provides comfortable seating for long passages. All switches for lights, pumps, and accessories are marine-grade, backlit, and protected by circuit breakers for ultimate reliability. The entire helm area is protected from the elements by the wraparound windshield and the factory hardtop, creating a comfortable and secure command station for all-weather boating.

COMFORT, SEATING & INTERIOR

The dual console layout of the Freedom 235 is ingeniously designed to maximize comfort and versatility for all passengers. The boat's upholstery is in pristine, showroom condition, showing virtually no signs of wear and retaining its supple feel and vibrant color. The seating arrangement is incredibly versatile: a deluxe, fully adjustable helm chair for the captain; an innovative port lounge seat with a sliding, reclining backrest that can face forward, aft, or create a full-length lounge; a patented fold-away aft bench seat that quickly stows to open up the cockpit for fishing; and comfortable V-shaped bow seating with plush cushions and surrounding bolsters. One of the most significant features for family comfort is the enclosed head compartment located within the port console. This surprisingly spacious compartment features a discreet porta-potti, interior lighting, and ample storage, a feature that significantly extends the usability of the boat for full-day trips. The boat is equipped with a 20-gallon freshwater system that supplies a cockpit shower at the transom—perfect for rinsing off after a swim—and a sink. A generous 30-gallon holding tank manages waste, allowing for environmentally compliant multi-day excursions. Every detail, from the drink holders to the grab rails, is placed for convenience and safety.

EXTERIOR, DECK & STORAGE

The exterior of this Grady-White is defined by its timeless lines and functional, high-quality components. The factory-installed fiberglass hardtop is a major upgrade, providing essential shade and weather protection. This robust structure features a painted aluminum frame, an integrated overhead radio box, fore and aft-facing LED spreader lights for nighttime visibility, and four "rocket launcher" style rod holders. The accompanying Eisenglass enclosure panels are in fantastic overall condition, offering clear visibility and the ability to fully enclose the helm area, effectively extending your boating season into the cooler months. The deck is finished in a safe, molded non-skid pattern, and the cockpit is self-bailing with oversized scuppers to quickly shed any water that comes aboard. All deck hardware, including cleats, bow rail, and hinges, is high-grade 316 stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance and longevity. Storage is abundant and intelligently integrated throughout the vessel. There is a large anchor locker at the bow, cavernous storage lockers beneath the bow seats, a lockable console storage compartment, and a massive, oversized insulated fish/storage box on the port side. This thoughtful approach to storage ensures that all gear, from fenders and lines to safety equipment and personal items, can be securely stowed, keeping the decks clear and safe.

ENTERTAINTAINMENT & AUDIO

To complement a perfect day on the water, this Freedom 235 is equipped with a premium marine audio system. The system is centered around a marine-grade stereo head unit, likely a Fusion or similar brand, featuring Bluetooth connectivity for wireless streaming from your smartphone, as well as an AM/FM tuner and auxiliary inputs. Sound is delivered through multiple marine speakers strategically placed throughout the cockpit and bow area, ensuring rich, clear audio for all passengers. Whether you're enjoying a relaxing playlist at anchor or energizing your crew with upbeat music, this sound system enhances every moment aboard and adds to the boat's overall appeal.

WATERSPORTS / FISHING FEATURES

The "Freedom" name truly reflects this boat's dual personality. For the avid angler, it is a highly capable fishing platform. Features include the previously mentioned oversized, insulated 26-gallon port side fish box that drains overboard, a 16-gallon insulated raw water livewell with a light and full-column distribution inlet located in the transom, multiple gunwale-mounted stainless steel rod holders, and four additional rod holders on the hardtop. The deep cockpit and high gunwales provide excellent safety and leverage when fighting a fish offshore. The Garmin 8612xsv's advanced CHIRP sonar is a powerful tool for locating game fish and structure.

When it's time for family fun, the boat easily converts for watersports. The powerful Yamaha F300 has more than enough torque to pull skiers, wakeboarders, and tubers with ease. The integrated swim platform features a heavy-duty, four-step telescoping stainless steel ladder for easy re-boarding from the water. A convenient transom door provides safe and easy access between the cockpit and the swim platform. The fold-away aft bench seat quickly disappears to create a massive, open cockpit for gearing up.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Safety is not an option on a Grady-White; it is a core design principle. This Freedom 235 is built with basic foam flotation, making it unsinkable. The self-bailing cockpit, high interior freeboard, and abundance of stainless steel grab rails ensure crew safety in all conditions. The vessel is equipped with an automatic bilge pump, high-water alarm, USCG-approved LED navigation lights, a horn, and a fire extinguisher. The robust construction and use of premium materials throughout provide a sense of security and durability that is palpable. This boat meets or exceeds all applicable standards set by the U.S. Coast Guard and the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA).

TRAILER

Included in the sale price is a heavy-duty, tandem-axle aluminum trailer, making this a complete, road-ready package. The aluminum construction resists corrosion, making it ideal for both fresh and saltwater use. The trailer is equipped with disc brakes, submersible LED lights, a durable bow winch, and side guide-ons that make launching and retrieving this 23-foot boat a simple, one-person job. The inclusion of a quality, properly fitted trailer adds significant value and convenience, saving the new owner the time and expense of purchasing one separately. It allows for easy transport to new boating destinations and simplifies off-season storage.

MAINTENANCE HISTORY & CONDITION

This 2018 Grady-White Freedom 235 is in truly excellent condition, a direct result of diligent maintenance and light use. With only 300 hours on the Yamaha F300, it has been used sparingly and cared for professionally. As previously noted, the engine has just received a comprehensive service, ensuring it is in peak mechanical running order. Cosmetically, the boat is stunning. The Coastal Fog White gelcoat retains a deep, rich gloss and is free from any significant scratches or oxidation. The upholstery throughout is soft, clean, and shows no signs of sun damage, rips, or tears. The hardtop, aluminum framework, and stainless steel hardware are all in fantastic shape. The Eisenglass enclosures are clear and pliable. This vessel presents much newer than its 2018 model year and has clearly been washed, flushed, and covered after use. This is a top-tier, pre-owned boat that requires nothing but a new owner. The Hull Identification Number is GRYAB123J718.
