2025 Grady-White Freedom 325

Coastal Fog Blue hull, ivory hardtop, matching Coastal Fog underside. This new 2025 Grady-White Freedom 325, stock #4612, is 31 feet 2 inches of very well specified dual console, with twin Yamaha 350 hp V6 Offshore engines and a factory bow thruster.

The bow thruster is the detail worth leading with. Factory-installed thrusters are uncommon on outboard dual consoles, and combined with Helm Master EX joystick control it means a 9,300 lb boat with a 10-foot 9-inch beam can be placed exactly where you want it regardless of what the wind is doing. Anyone who has fought a crosswind at a fuel dock in front of an audience knows what that is worth.

Helm Master EX also brings integrated autopilot, so the long run home becomes a matter of setting a course rather than steering it. The engines are the DEC digital-control versions, giving instant, silent shifts and precise low-speed control.

Underneath is Grady's SeaV2 variable deadrise hull, which changes shape along its length to give a sharp entry forward and a stable platform aft. It is the reason Grady-Whites are known for a dry, soft ride, and it is what lets this boat handle a rough Lake of the Ozarks Saturday and then trailer to the coast for genuine offshore work.

Equipment includes an Electric SureShade retractable cockpit shade, which extends at the touch of a button and retracts for running, LED underwater and cockpit lighting, a Fusion Bluetooth audio system with JL speakers, and a ski pylon so watersports are covered. It is Yacht Certified for up to twelve people, with 288 gallons of fuel.

Why this is the right boat: this is the most complete family-and-fishing package Grady builds at this size. Joystick and thruster handling, autopilot, powered shade, offshore hull, twelve-person capacity, and a ski pylon. There is nothing meaningful left to add, and it will do everything from a morning offshore to an afternoon at the sandbar.

It is new and available at Kelly's Port in Osage Beach, a family-owned full-service marina on the Lake of the Ozarks since 1977. We have factory-trained outboard service on site backed by a same-day service guarantee, plus slips, wet and dry storage, a ship store, and a gas dock. Call 573.348.3888 to see stock #4612.
