As a maritime enthusiast and an avid fisher, it is my privilege to share my thoughts on one of the most promising boats from the 2022 Grady White Boats line-up - the 2022 Grady White Center Console Series 257 Fisherman. This model has been generating immense curiosity within boating communities since its launch due to its iconic design, advanced features, and impressive specifications.
The 257 Fisherman, belonging to the 'Fiberglass Fish' category, truly embodies Grady White Boats' commitment to crafting the perfect fishing machine. Conceptualized and constructed with utmost attention to detail, the model promises an unparalleled fishing and boating experience.
Touted as a flagship of safety, the boat boasts of two automatic bilge pumps and basic flotation, ensuring any water that unwantedly enters the boat is promptly dispatched. Complementing its focus on safety is a state-of-the-art console with modern amenities, including an accessory outlet, an integrated compass, drink holders, and ample storage space among others.
What needs special mention is the livewell of the 257 Fisherman - a 32-gallon aft insulated raw water livewell, complete with light, full column distribution inlet, and OB drain. This is not a feature you find in just any boat; it's an essential for serious anglers. This feature further underscores 257 Fisherman's appropriateness for fishing adventures.
Exterior aspects impress as much as the interiors. The boat is equipped with a hydraulic trim tab with indicator and retractor, a cutting board, and a generous fuel capacity of 135 gallons. It further offers a unique Seating - lean bar complete with a footrest, backrest, tackle trays, knife and pliers holders, and lockable storage, to name a few.
When it comes to performance, the impressive specifications reveal solidarity. From its comprehensive beam amidships of 8'6" to the hull draft specification of 20", every detail points to a steady and stable ride, even in the most challenging waters. Another significant attribute is its passenger capacity of 10 persons, making it perfect for group outings.
All said and done, the 2022 Grady White Center Console Series 257 Fisherman is a mighty contender in the segment of Fiberglass Fish boats. It defines what a fishing boat should be, thanks to its grand design, safety arrangements, and superior specifications. Featuring in the 2022 line-up, it reaffirms the commitment of Grady White Boats to provide extraordinary on-water experiences.

The See Dealer Cost Story
When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
