2025 Grady-White Freedom 307

Ocean Mist Blue hull, ivory hardtop, Ocean Mist underside. This new 2025 Grady-White Freedom 307, stock #4613, is one of the more elegant colour combinations Grady offers, and it is specified with twin Yamaha 300 hp V6 Offshore engines rather than the 350s.

That engine choice is worth explaining rather than glossing over. Twin 300s give 600 horsepower on an 8,350 lb hull, which is entirely adequate: the boat gets on plane readily and cruises comfortably. What you gain over the 350s is a lower purchase price, slightly better fuel economy at cruise, and a little less weight on the transom. What you give up is top-end and some reserve when the boat is fully loaded. For most owners on the Lake of the Ozarks, the 300s are the sensible specification.

Everything else is the full-fat version. A factory-installed bow thruster paired with Helm Master EX joystick control and integrated autopilot, which together make a 30-footer with a 10-foot 7-inch beam genuinely easy to dock and relaxing to run. An Electric SureShade retractable cockpit cover that extends and retracts at the touch of a button. LED underwater lighting for evenings at anchor.

Underneath is Grady's SeaV2 variable deadrise hull, delivering the ultra-smooth, dry ride the brand is built on, and the boat is Yacht Certified for up to twelve people with 234 gallons of fuel aboard.

Why this is the right boat: you get the thruster, the joystick, the autopilot, the powered shade, and the offshore hull, with the engine package chosen for economy rather than bragging rights. If you would rather put the difference into a slip, storage, or fuel for the season, this is the smarter of the two 307s on our floor.

It is new and available at Kelly's Port in Osage Beach, family owned on the Lake of the Ozarks since 1977. We have factory-trained outboard service on site with a same-day service guarantee, plus slips, wet and dry storage, a ship store, and a gas dock.
