Grady-White Freedom 325: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Grady White Freedom 325 is the latest addition to Grady White's Freedom series, designed to fill a gap in this popular lineup. Featuring a CV2 hull, the Freedom 325 aims to deliver strong performance and versatility, making it suitable for a variety of boating activities including offshore runs and fishing.

Operational Features and Exterior Design

The cockpit is thoughtfully equipped with a battery management panel located at the starboard quarter, while the main electrical panel is housed in the starboard console, separating 120-volt and 12-volt systems for ease of use. The foredeck includes two 8-inch pull-up cleats and a flip-up navigation light that can be recessed to maintain a smooth surface during fishing. A turn and lock latch opens a hatch supported by a gas assist strut, revealing a pro fish windlass connected to a stainless steel through-stem anchor roller with a safety latch and cleat for securing the rode. Anchor controls are accessible both at the helm and on the foredeck. The tempered glass windshield extends fully upward without gaps, providing excellent visibility, and is equipped with integrated windshield wipers and washers built into the hardtop frame. Underneath a hatch in the deck lies a mechanical room with easy access to critical components including a 5kW Fischer Panda generator, dual engine start batteries, dual house batteries, bilge pump, and seacocks with handle extensions accessible via a removable deck plate.

Helm and Bridge Features

The helm station is well-appointed with a genuine compass aligned directly with the steering wheel, a soft-touch dash with an off-color panel, and ample space for electronics. Functional elements include two drink holders, Yamaha Command Link, trim tabs, rocker switches, a prominently colored horn button, a remote control for the Fusion stereo system, Helm Master joystick, Yamaha digital ignition controls, and a padded storage shelf with accessory plug and USB connectivity. The helm seat offers dual flip-up bolsters, electric fore-and-aft adjustment, a molded footrest, and a recessed fire extinguisher compartment. The steering wheel itself includes a knob and is mounted on a tilt base, enhancing control and comfort.

Dimensions and Performance

The Freedom 325 measures 33 feet 1 inch in length overall, with a beam of 10 feet 9 inches and a draft of 24 inches. The vessel's empty weight is 9,300 pounds, with a test weight of approximately 12,598 pounds including half fuel, two people, and test power. Powered by twin 300 horsepower Yamaha four-stroke engines turning 15.5 by 17 SWS2 SDS propellers, the boat achieved a top speed of 48.1 miles per hour at 6,000 RPM. The most economical cruise speed was recorded at 27.1 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, burning 17.2 gallons per hour and yielding a range of 409 miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the total 288-gallon capacity. The CV2 hull enabled rapid planing, reaching planing speed in 3.5 seconds, 20 miles per hour in 5.3 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 8.2 seconds, with approximately seven clicks of engine trim required to achieve optimal running attitude.

Handling and Ride Quality

The Freedom 325 exhibits a sporty and confident handling character. In moderate chop and crossing wakes, the hull demonstrated impressive performance by absorbing impacts solidly without pounding, while spray was kept low and wide. The boat's buoyancy allows it to lift smoothly over waves and re-enter the water gracefully, quickly stabilizing for a clean ride. Turning performance is exceptional, with the boat responding as if on rails, initiating turns with a controlled roll that counters centrifugal forces and prevents chine walk. The vessel rights itself promptly after turns, which is advantageous when navigating quartering seas. The high freeboard enhances offshore suitability by providing good tracking and stability. During hard turns, the boat digs in firmly, encouraging throttle application to maintain speed, while the steering system offers six and a half turns from lock to lock, ensuring steady and stable control even under aggressive handling. Docking maneuvers are simplified by the Yamaha Helm Master joystick, which allows precise, low-effort control with gentle stick inputs.

Conclusion

The Grady White Freedom 325 combines a versatile and well-thought-out design with strong performance and handling characteristics. Its operational features, quality construction, and advanced helm controls make it a capable and enjoyable boat for a variety of boating pursuits. The CV2 hull delivers a smooth, stable ride with responsive handling, while the layout and systems support both fishing and cruising needs effectively. Overall, the Freedom 325 upholds the brand's reputation for quality and performance in a stylish and functional package.
