Grady-White 232 Gulfstream Boats For Sale

The Grady-White 232 Gulfstream is a walkaround offshore boat measuring 23 feet 5 inches in length overall with a 9-foot-3-inch beam, built around Grady-White's SeaV2 hull for cutting through chop while staying stable at rest and slow speeds. The wide beam makes the deck steady enough that walking side to side barely moves the boat, which helps with fishing, docking and day-to-day handling. From the tip of the bow pulpit to the back of the engines on the motor bracket the hull stretches to about 30 feet, and on the trailer it runs roughly 33 feet long, 10 feet wide and needs 13 feet of height clearance for garage or pole-barn storage. It suits a mobile family that wants a capable nearshore and offshore fishing platform that one person can rig, launch and run alone.

Most examples carry twin Yamaha F150 four-strokes, and the boat is rated for up to 400 horsepower with a 150-gallon fuel capacity. Grady-White Gulfstream 232 weight comes in around 4,538 pounds with the single-engine setup and about 4,605 pounds for the twin version. Rigged with a single Yamaha 350-horsepower V8 four-stroke, the 232 Gulfstream reaches a top speed of 51.1 mph, climbs onto plane in 4.4 seconds and passes 30 mph in 7.5 seconds. Best cruise on a test run was 28.1 mph at 3,500 RPM, giving a range of 356 miles, and it stayed quiet at a maximum of 93 dBA. Hulls fitted with the twin F150s keep fuel costs modest for a heavy offshore boat.

The helm is set up for single-handed operation, with a tilting wheel that rotates fore and aft to clear the knees of taller operators. Examples are commonly fitted with Garmin electronics, including a 12-inch display and VHF, plus a Yamaha 5-inch LCD touchscreen and illuminated rocker switches. Yamaha's digital electronic controls (DEC) drive the fly-by-wire throttle, shifting the gears electronically rather than through a maintenance-prone cable, and the electric-steering F150s keep the transom clean of hydraulic hoses. A sturdy hard top with multiple uprights holds nine rod holders without blocking sightlines, and Dual Deluxe captain's chairs (Pompanette seats) swivel and feature flip-up bolsters.

The cockpit covers 56 square feet, roughly 7 feet wide by 5 feet long, surrounded on three sides by optional coaming bolsters paired with a toe rail for a secure fishing stance. Storage is built into molded steps: a 36-gallon aerated live well, a 265-quart insulated fish box that drains overboard, and a larger center fish box (listed up to 297 quarts) with a replaceable cutting-board top. A Lewmar power windlass can be worked from the cockpit, the deck is 100% self-bailing through scupper drains, and battery switches sit in an easy-access hatch. Rod storage runs under the gunwales, two rods per side, with four more holders aft and a tackle compartment for two lure trays. Raw-water and freshwater wash-downs, the patented stow-away stern bench seat, and a port-corner swim platform with telescoping ladder round out the deck.

Below deck, the Grady White Gulfstream 232 cabin is more than a token space, running a little over 7 feet long and averaging about 39 inches wide. A V-berth sleeps two adults, and a third filler cushion raises into an over-and-under bunk arrangement on straps. The compact galley includes a sink, an ice box and a portable stove, fed by a 12-gallon freshwater tank, while a built-in head sits to starboard with a 10-gallon holding tank and Macerator pump. A forward hatch and port and starboard windows with screens provide ventilation, and rod racks keep gear stowed inside.

Build quality shows in the heavy fiberglass layup, high-grade stainless fasteners, and guttered, draining hatches. When shopping the Grady-White 232 Gulfstream for sale, common options to look for include the hard top, bow pulpit with windlass, coaming bolsters, outriggers and radar; many listed and owner boats are 2001 through 2012 model years. Points worth weighing are limited factory rod-holder count, which owners often supplement on top of the hard top, the very large fish boxes that suit big offshore fish better than small catch without an ice divider, and modest factory tackle storage.
