Grady-White Fisherman 236 Boats For Sale

The Grady-White Fisherman 236 is a single-engine center console built for offshore fishing that converts to family cruising, with a centerline length of 23 feet 7 inches and an overall length of 25 feet 7 inches including the swim platforms. Its 8-foot 6-inch beam, 18.5-inch hull draft, and roughly 4,135-pound hull weight keep it trailerable behind a mid-size truck or SUV with the right trailer, and bridge clearance runs 7 feet 9 inches. The hull uses the SeaV2 (CV2) bottom shape designed by C. Raymond Hunt and Associates, with a steep entry, four pronounced strakes, wide chine flats, a Carolina bow flare, and a 20-degree transom deadrise. The foam-filled hull contributes to the dry, stable ride and to the boat's reputation as a high-quality bluewater platform rated for 10 people.

Power runs from a standard Yamaha F250 to an optional Yamaha F300, and a 350-horsepower Yamaha became available for the 2025 model year, with 350 the maximum rating. With the F350, top speed reaches 51.9 mph and cruise sits at 29.8 mph returning about 3 mpg; the F300 turns 46.6 mph at the top with a 29.3 mph cruise and 3.02 mpg, so the practical difference between the two is mostly top-end speed rather than fuel economy. Independent testing of an F300 boat with a stainless 15.5-by-17-inch propeller recorded 48.5 mph at 5,700 rpm, a best cruise of 27 mph at 3,500 rpm burning 9.1 gph for a 307-statute-mile range with 10% reserve, a 4.6-second time to plane, and 30 mph reached in 9.4 seconds. The 100-gallon fuel capacity supports a range of roughly 300 miles, and the boat carried no cavitation through tight offshore turns.

Fishing features are the core of the layout. The transom holds a 15.5-gallon insulated, lighted raw-water live well with Grady-White's patented full-column distribution plenum to keep bait fresh, alongside a 160-quart insulated fish box that doubles as a cooler. Cockpit depth runs a consistent 25 inches, a foldaway half-bench transom seat seats three and stows out of the way, and a retractable spring-loaded ski pole sits between the boxes. Standard under-gunnel rod storage and cockpit tow rails secure anglers while fighting fish, with the transom door to starboard. The extra-long swim platforms extend aft on either side of the outboard, a four-step swim ladder aids boarding, and two insulated storage compartments are built into the platform, the starboard one sized for an auxiliary anchor.

The helm is left largely open for customization, fitted with a Garmin CL5 engine display and room for two 12-inch flush-mounted navigation and radar screens, plus a Fusion audio system with Bluetooth, digital throttle and shift, trim tabs with indicators, and a stainless steel steering wheel with an Edson knob. The optional fiberglass T-top package includes an extended windshield, radio box, dome light, spreader light, four rod holders, a radar flat, and outrigger plates, with the T-top frame molded directly into the console to save deck space. The deluxe leaning post adds a backrest, lockable tackle storage, and four rod holders on a powder-coated white frame, and a lockable electronics box in the hard top keeps a VHF and valuables secure. Hard-top lighting can be set to blue, red, or white. The head compartment, accessed from a starboard door, has full standing headroom, LED lighting, an opening port light with screen, and either a portable toilet or an optional Dometic head with overboard discharge, with the table leg stored inside.

In the bow, twin 89-quart insulated fish boxes sit beneath the port and starboard seats, a forward-facing seat against the console covers an insulated cooler, and the area converts to a large casting platform when the cushions come off. An optional center casting platform with a filler cushion doubles as the bow table, and a removable sun shade and sun pad turn the bow into a lounging area. A large anchor locker is sized for a Danforth-type anchor, two pop-up bow cleats handle the rode, and an optional Lewmar over-bow windlass operates from the helm or bow. Hardware throughout is upgraded 316 stainless steel, including latches, cup holders, gas-assisted struts, and pop-up cleats. Available across recent model years including 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, and current builds, the Grady-White Fisherman 236 has carried a price around $187,366 as configured in spring 2026, with used examples turning up well-equipped, such as a 2022 boat with a Yamaha 300 four-stroke, 51 hours, and an aluminum tandem-axle trailer.
