255 Sailfish

One of the most capable fishing boats in the business, the 255 Sailfish is one of only few 25-footers with a 9'6" beam, meaning she’s not legally trailerable without an wide permit. Not only was she good looking, but the Sailfish handled well in big water which is typical of all Grady-White boats. In a major redesign for 1990, the helm was raised a few inches for better visibility, the deckhouse was elevated for improved headroom below, and the cabin hatch was repositioned to the port side to allow for a wider helm. A first-rate fishing machine, the Sailfish came with a long list of standard features including an insulated livewell and fish box, tackle drawers, plenty of storage and wide walkarounds. Below, V-berths forward, an aft berth, small galley and a standup head complete the accommodations. Note that the Sailfish has polyurethane foam in the cavities between the hull and deck to provide flotation. A pair of 200hp bracket-mounted outboards will cruise the Sailfish in the mid 20s and reach a top speed of 36–37 knots. Note that the 272 Sailfish is the same boat with further updates.
