2003 Grady-White 282 Sailfish in Excellent Condition! Many Upgrades! Low Hours!
This 2003 Grady White Sailfish 282 is a 28' walkaround in Hemphill, Texas.
A legendary brand, this Sailfish 282 is among the most popular and best-selling walkarounds in history and is a complete fishing machine!
Not your typical 2003 model, the seller has gone to great expense to bring this boat up to modern standards, starting with (2) Honda VTEXC 225HP 4-stroke outboards, which had only 164 hours on them as of 05/10/2025.
Other upgrades include two dash-mounted Garmin units with down scan, 2D sonar, and mapping options, but he has also maintained the original Garmin unit, which is still hooked up and running.
To keep you under control, digital trim tabs and a Garmin VHF radio have been installed.
The insulated raw water livewell with full column water distribution inlet will keep your fish or bait in excellent condition. When it comes to fighting big fish, you will appreciate the upholstered side bolsters underneath the gunwales.
Down below, you have a comfortable forward V berth with a functional kitchen and a fully pressurized private head.
If the big water is calling and you are ready to bring in the big fish, like this seller has with this proven vessel, the Sailfish 282 is a terrific choice.
