2004 Grady-White Marlin 300

What really stands out on this Marlin 300 is how thoughtfully the cockpit and helm are laid out for long days on the water. The wide beam gives you a deep, stable work area at the transom, with room to spread out gear without stepping on each other. Grady’s signature bolstered coamings and recessed hardware keep the cockpit clean and fish‑friendly, while the hardtop and full enclosure offer real protection when the weather turns. At the helm, clear sightlines and well-organized controls make running at speed feel relaxed instead of tiring. Down below, generous storage, rod racks, and smart lighting mean the cabin works just as well as a gear locker between trips as it does for an overnight escape.

This Marlin 300 shines in waters where conditions can change quickly from calm to steep chop. The deep‑V hull and weight distribution help her track straight and land soft, turning bumpy runs to the grounds into comfortable cruises. The protected helm and sturdy hardtop suit cool, damp mornings, while the wide side decks and secure bow rail make anchoring or working the foredeck feel secure even in a swell. With efficient twin outboards, you can cover the distance to offshore humps or inshore banks with confidence, then tuck into sheltered coves and use the cabin for a warm, dry base between tides.
