DESCRIPTION

The Grady White 254 Sailfish is one of the most iconic and reliable fishing boats ever built by the American yard. This 1992 unit has been fully refreshed in 2022 with major refitting works: hull brought back to zero, complete new electrical system, and above all, a brand new original Volvo Penta engine and stern drive.
Powered by the latest generation Volvo Penta V8 380 CE-P/DP (380 HP), featuring closed-loop liquid cooling, this engine offers the perfect blend of reliability, smoothness and performance. With just 167 running hours, it provides powerful acceleration, efficient cruising, and excellent fuel economy (approx. 2.2 liters per nautical mile). The electronic throttle delivers a sharp, sensitive response, giving the boat a completely renewed and enjoyable driving experience.
Equipped with the Volvo Penta DualProp drive, performance and handling are remarkably improved. Dimensions: 8.22 m length, 2.88 m beam, draft 0.5 m (up to 0.8 m with drive down) — ideal for shallow waters.
Main features include a fighting chair for offshore fishing, rod holders, Garmin GPS + fishfinder, solar panel for battery maintenance, and a large hard top with a protected helm position. Fully equipped for offshore navigation (beyond 12 miles), except for the life raft.
Main works carried out in 2022: – Hull completely stripped and redone – New engine and transmission – New electric windlass, chain and anchor – Entire electrical system replaced – New fuel tank float
The exterior is in fair overall condition, hull is sound and ready for use. The interior is functional but could use some refreshing.
A solid, seaworthy and versatile boat, perfect for serious fishing or day cruising on the Adriatic. An excellent opportunity for those seeking a reliable fishing vessel with modern performance without spending too much. The new Volvo Penta engine, low consumption and refined handling make this Grady White truly come alive on the water.

Available for visit and sea trial by appointment.

FRENCH
Le Grady White 254 Sailfish est l’un des modèles les plus emblématiques et réputés du chantier américain. Cet exemplaire de 1992 a bénéficié en 2022 d’une remise à niveau complète : carène reprise à zéro, installation électrique neuve, et surtout moteur et embase arrière Volvo Penta neufs et d’origine.
Le Volvo Penta V8 380 CE-P/DP de dernière génération, refroidi par liquide en circuit fermé, offre une combinaison parfaite de puissance, fiabilité et confort d’utilisation. Avec seulement 167 heures de fonctionnement, il procure des accélérations franches, une navigation souple et des consommations très contenues (environ 2,2 litres par mille). La commande électronique des gaz rend la conduite extrêmement réactive et agréable : la sensation en navigation est tout simplement transformée.
La transmission DualProp Volvo Penta assure des performances optimales et une excellente maniabilité. Longueur : 8,22 m, largeur : 2,88 m, tirant d’eau : 0,5 m (0,8 m embase abaissée), parfait pour naviguer aussi en eaux peu profondes.
Équipements principaux : fauteuil de combat pour la pêche hauturière, porte-cannes, GPS + sondeur Garmin, panneau solaire pour l’entretien des batteries et grand hard top avec poste de pilotage protégé. Équipé pour la navigation hauturière (au-delà de 12 milles), sauf radeau de survie.
Travaux réalisés en 2022 : – Carène reprise entièrement – Remplacement complet du moteur et de la transmission – Nouveau guindeau électrique, chaîne et ancre – Installation électrique neuve – Flotteur de réservoir remplacé
Extérieurement, la coque est saine et prête à naviguer ; les intérieurs sont fonctionnels mais méritent un rafraîchissement. C’est une unité solide, rapide et marine, idéale pour la pêche sportive ou les sorties côtières en Adriatique. Une excellente opportunité pour qui recherche un bateau de pêche fiable et performant sans investissement excessif. Avec son moteur Volvo Penta neuf, ses faibles consommations et sa commande électronique, ce Grady White offre des sensations de navigation incomparables.
