2022 Grady-White Freedom 235

Step aboard and you’ll notice how Grady used every inch of the 235’s footprint wisely. The deep, secure cockpit gives real peace of mind when kids or guests move around underway, while the wide walk-through windshield makes it easy to chase the sun or tuck out of the breeze. The convertible aft bench and portside lounge shift quickly from cruising to fishing layout, and the diamond-pattern upholstery still feels plush and supportive after a full day on the water. Stainless hardware, solid latches, and thick hinges remind you why these boats hold up so well. Add in the thoughtful touches—integrated swim platform, easy boarding ladder, and abundant drink holders—and it’s clear this Freedom was built for long, relaxed days afloat.

In these waters, conditions can swing from flat calm to choppy in a single afternoon, and the Freedom 235’s SeaV² hull is made for exactly that. The sharp entry and variable deadrise smooth out short, steep harbor chop while still feeling stable at rest for fishing or rafting up. With its generous freeboard and secure bow seating, family and guests stay dry and comfortable even on brisk shoulder-season runs. The dual-console layout offers real protection behind the windshield when afternoon breezes kick up, yet the open cockpit stays uncluttered for gear and coolers. It’s an ideal size for trailering to different ramps, yet substantial enough to handle open-bay crossings with confidence.
