Grady-White Fisherman 216: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Grady White Fisherman 216 is a versatile and elegant 21-foot center console boat designed with both fishing and family-friendly cruising in mind. Available in seven colors plus the classic Grady White, it features the distinctive Raybovich Shirline that makes it easily recognizable. With an overall length of 23 feet 3 inches including platforms and a hull length of 21 feet 3 inches, the boat offers a beam of 8 feet 6 inches, a shallow hull draft of 16 inches, and a rated capacity for eight passengers. Its design incorporates pronounced Carolina flair in the bow, which effectively throws water to the sides to keep the deck dry in rough conditions.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The Fisherman 216’s hull is hand-laid using fiberglass, composites, metal, PVC, and foam, with no wood used in the construction. The robust stringer and frame system is foam-filled to ensure buoyancy even if compromised. Freeboard measures 38 inches forward and 28 inches aft, with cockpit depths of 25 inches aft and 34 inches forward, and 22 inches of clearance on each side of the console. An optional T-top is highly recommended for serious anglers, providing shade, four rod holders, life jacket storage, lockable storage, and lighting both over the helm and facing aft. The T-top’s supports are designed to maximize deck space and maintain clear forward visibility. The boat features long swim platforms on both port and starboard sides, each 28 inches long and 24 inches wide, ideal for water sports and swimming. A four-step telescoping ladder on the starboard side facilitates easy reboarding. Forward-facing jump seats at the transom swivel to allow passage to the swim platforms and cockpit, enhancing water access. Additional features include a freshwater shower wand fed by a 10-gallon tank and raw water washdown in the gunnels.
Interior and Helm Layout
The helm console is thoughtfully designed with an offset wheel to port, allowing a companion to sit comfortably to starboard. The throttle is positioned for ease of operation while standing, and Bennett trim tabs are conveniently located. The dash accommodates two navigation screens but typically features one multifunction display to save space. Additional helm amenities include a 12-volt charging plug, a padded tray for devices, a compass, Yamaha digital diagnostics, accessory rocker switches, a red horn button, and a Fusion stereo control. A molded footrest enhances comfort during operation. To starboard of the console is a lockable door leading to the head compartment, which offers 4 feet 8 inches of headroom and measures 36 inches wide by 27 inches deep. The head includes a standard portable toilet with an optional pump-out upgrade, recessed lighting, and an opening port light. Access hatches provide entry to the instrument panel and an optional 10-gallon freshwater tank.
Seating and Storage
The bow area features a 34-inch wide plush seat with a high soft back integrated into the console, flanked by lounge seats measuring 24 inches wide and 48 inches long with 13-inch high swivel seat backs. An optional filler cushion converts this area into a large sun pad, while removal of cushions creates a spacious casting platform. Beneath these seats are insulated coolers—two 81-quart units with overboard drains and a 28-quart insulated box forward of the console—usable as ice chests or fish boxes. The helm seating includes flip-up bolsters and comfortable backs, with four rocket launchers and a cabinet for tackle storage. The optional leaning post seating, as featured on the test boat, includes a 25-gallon lighted livewell under the companion seat, three tackle drawers, and four rocket launchers. Additional angler-friendly features include multiple rod holders in the gunwales, six-rod racks, tow rails, 7-inch pull-up cleats, and a dedicated anchor locker designed to accommodate a Danforth-style anchor.
Power and Performance
During testing on a warm summer day with light wind and calm water, the Fisherman 216 was powered by a Yamaha F200 outboard with a 14.5 by 15 Reliance SDS propeller. The test weight was 5,063 pounds, including half fuel, full water, two people, and gear. The boat achieved a top speed of 42.5 miles per hour at 5,800 RPM. Its most fuel-efficient cruising speed was recorded at 3,500 RPM, delivering 20.2 miles per hour while consuming 5.4 gallons per hour, equating to 3.7 miles per gallon and a range of 269 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve from the 80-gallon tank. Higher speeds included 26.4 miles per hour at 4,000 RPM and 31.5 miles per hour at 4,500 RPM, the latter burning 9.4 gallons per hour. At a trolling speed near 6 miles per hour, fuel consumption was 1.3 gallons per hour with a fuel economy of 4.5 miles per gallon. The boat planes quickly, reaching planing speed in 4.8 seconds, 20 miles per hour in 6.4 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 10.2 seconds.
