1995 Grumman 1749

What stands out on this 1749 is how much utility Grumman squeezed into a compact footprint. The broad, stable beam makes it feel bigger than its length when you’re swinging a net or working a fish at the rail. High, safe sides give confidence when the chop picks up, and the straightforward deck layout makes it easy to hose down after a muddy day on the flats or at the ramp. Skippers appreciate the simple, no-nonsense rigging—fewer frills, fewer headaches. It trailers easily behind a mid-size vehicle, tucks into modest storage spaces, and launches without drama at shallower ramps, making it a genuinely practical “fish-anywhere” hull.

This 1995 Grumman 1749 suits local waters where you might jump from skinny creeks to open stretches in a single outing. Its moderate size makes winding channels, tight marinas, and smaller ramps far less stressful, while still giving enough hull under you for choppy afternoons. The efficient outboard keeps fuel stops and running costs under control when spots are spread out. With its open work area and straightforward systems, weekend anglers can spend more time on the bite and less time on maintenance. For a crew that wants a solid, easily handled fishing platform tailored to varied nearby conditions, this model is a smart fit.
