The Foundation: Stability & Pure Performance
SeaV2® Hull Excellence: Grady's signature variable-degree deadrise hull ensures that even at 18 feet, you get a soft, dry entry and the tracking stability usually reserved for much larger boats.
Stable 7' 5" Beam: The Fisherman 180 provides a rock-solid platform at rest, making it safe and comfortable for family cruises or working a fish around the cockpit.
Optimized Yamaha Power: Command the water with a reliable Yamaha F150. This configuration provides the perfect power-to-weight ratio for effortless cruising and the torque needed to handle the choppy conditions of the Eastern Sound.
Elite Tech & Navigation
The Fisherman 180 features a clean, intuitive helm designed for total control. This inbound unit is rigged with the latest technology:
Digital Command Center: The helm is perfectly sized for a Garmin 9-inch or 12-inch 8600-series touchscreen, putting your CHIRP sonar, navigation charts, and engine data right where you need them.
Precision Maneuverability: Features hydraulic tilt steering for a smooth, responsive feel, whether you are pulling up to the sandbar or navigating back to our Niantic docks.
Enhanced Utility: This model includes a factory-installed T-top with integrated rod holders and a spreader light to provide shade and a professional offshore look.
Premium Fishing & Comfort Packages
Angler Ready: Features a standard 11-gallon insulated livewell, two large insulated fish boxes, and horizontal rod storage, ensuring you're ready for the spring striper run.
Intelligent Seating: Includes a reversible lean bar with a backrest and 360-degree walk-around space, plus comfortable bow seating for family outings.
Family Comfort: Equipped with a swim platform with a ladder and a freshwater shower to transform your fishing machine into the ultimate afternoon swim platform.
