2004 Grady-White 265 Express
Description
The 2004 Grady-White 265 Express is a popular 26-foot (approximately 25'9" to 26'9" hull length, 28'6" with pulpit) fiberglass express-style fishing boat known for its exceptionally wide 9'7" beam, which gives it the roomy feel and capabilities of a much larger vessel. t's a versatile "pocket cruiser" that balances serious offshore fishing with family-friendly overnighting. Owners praise its solid construction, spacious layout for a 26-footer, and reliable performance.
Owners generally praise the boat's heavy, solid construction (Grady-White's legendary build quality), excellent storage throughout, and versatility as both a hardcore fishing machine and a comfortable weekender. It's often called one of the best 26-foot express boats of its time for balancing fishability and livability. Some earlier hulls (pre-2003) had minor handling quirks that Grady addressed with hull updates around 2003, so 2004 models benefit from those refinements.
