My Impressions of the 2022 Grady White Dual Console Series 285 Freedom
The marine industry continues to introduce innovative and impressive fishing powerboats that combine style, safety, and comfort. One such offering that has caught my eye recently is the Grady White Dual Console Series 285 Freedom 2022 from Grady White Boats.
Falling under the category of "Fiberglass Fish," the 285 Freedom encapsulates exactly what a premium vessel should be. It is solidly built with 100% hand-laid SeaV² hull and deck for high-level buoyancy and balance. Additionally, it's fitted with all necessary fixtures, including a lockable console with an integrated marine head and macerator, a 10-gallon holding tank, and drop-dead stylish composite cherry and holly sole.
Grady White has shown their consideration for every boater's needs with the thoughtful addition of a 32-gallon insulated raw water livewell with lighting, full column distribution inlet, and an OB drain. The 285 Freedom also offers a sizeable and robust 201-gallon fuel tank that ensures longer durations on the water, allowing for extended fishing trips with limited interruptions.
The boat includes various modern amenities like an accessory outlet, duplex USB port, and an impressive stereo system with AM/FM tuner, MP3 auxiliary audio connections/amplifier, Bluetooth, and a remote unit. This model also comes with the convenience of remote switches at the helm and bow for the anchor windlass, making anchoring a breeze.
Safety and comfort have not been overlooked in the production of the 285 Freedom. With essential safety features like two automatic bilge pumps, a low-profile 316-grade stainless steel bow rail and the upgraded Captain Grady digital boat systems and operations guide for iPad and iPhone, passengers can feel relaxed and safe.
One of the standout features in terms of comfort is the Deluxe companion seating with an electromechanically extendable lounge seat. This feature allows for added relaxation, especially after a long day of fishing. The seating also includes an integrated deluxe wet bar with a Corian countertop, sink, and storage drawers, paying attention to every indulgent detail.
The 285 Freedom includes plenty of storage spaces, rod holders, and storage racks. Flush mount electronics area ensures all the controls are in one place for a tidy cockpit. Moreover, with the hydraulic tilt steering wheel and other hands-on controls, piloting this vessel is an absolute dream.
With a base MSRP of $255,852, which might seem steep for some, it guarantees a high-quality vessel that will undoubtedly offer a joyful and rewarding fishing experience. Understanding what the dealer pays for the boat, in this case, an invoice price of $199,748, can significantly help in negotiating the best deal.
To sum up, the 2022 Grady White Dual Console Series 285 Freedom is a boat that goes beyond the simple call of duty when it comes to fishing and boating experiences. Balancing comfort, safety, and modern amenities with traditional boating requirements demonstrates Grady White's years of expertise and devotion to the marine industry.

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,
