2025 Grady White FM 325

Thirty-seven hours on a 2025 Grady-White Freedom 325. Stock #4968 is a Coastal Fog dual console with twin Yamahas making 700 horsepower and Helm Master EX joystick control, and it has effectively not been used.

The dual console format is the most family-friendly way to own a serious offshore hull. You get the protected walk-through layout, a proper windshield, and a genuinely usable bow seating area with a removable table and convertible lounge, rather than the exposed bow of a center console. Underneath is Grady's SeaV2 hull, which is widely regarded as one of the softest and driest rides in the class, and that is not marketing: the progressive V lets the boat knife into chop instead of slamming across it.

The equipment list is thorough. A lockable portside console berth with storage gives you a place to change or let a child nap, and there is an enclosed head compartment with sink, storage, and shower capability. An electromechanically extendable companion lounge, a wet bar with refrigerator, sink and Corian counter, and foldaway aft bench seating handle the entertaining side. For fishing there are integrated rod holders, a livewell, and insulated fish boxes throughout.

The signature AV2 hardtop with integrated windshield and a SureShade retractable shade system is what makes long days comfortable, because you can extend shade over the cockpit at anchor and retract it underway. Dual swim platforms with a boarding ladder, a portside boarding door, and a transom access door make water access genuinely easy.

At the helm there are dual Garmin touchscreens in a full glass cockpit with GPS, radar, sonar, depthsounder, autopilot, VHF, and digital switching, plus Yamaha Helm Master EX, which gives joystick docking on a 9,300 lb boat.

Why this is the right boat: with 288 gallons of fuel and a SeaV2 hull, the Freedom 325 handles anything the Lake of the Ozarks produces and will trailer to the coast for a serious fishing week. With a head, a berth, a wet bar, and joystick docking, it is equally happy carrying twelve people to a cove. At 37 hours, it is a new boat without the new-boat premium or the wait.

She is at Kelly's Port in Osage Beach, family owned since 1977, with factory-trained outboard service, storage, and a gas dock on site. Call 573.348.3888 to confirm stock #4968 is available and get aboard.
