Grady-White 27' Chase 273
The Grady-White 273 Chase is a popular 27-foot center console boat produced from the mid-1990s to around 2011. It is built on a solid fiberglass deep-V hull for excellent rough-water handling and stability
Overview
The 2004 Grady-White 273 Chase is a well-regarded center console fishing and family cruising boat from Grady-White, a brand known for rugged, high-quality fiberglass construction and excellent ride quality. Customers told Grady-White they wanted a low center of gravity when moving forward to fight a fish -the result is the redesigned Grady-White Chase 273. Access has been engineered all the way forward at one level. It's built for big-water use—serious fishing (inshore/offshore) combined with day cruising or diving.
Ride, Build Quality, and Owner Feedback
Grady-White's reputation shines here: Owners on forums like The Hull Truth and GreatGrady call it "built like a tank" with superb fit/finish, a thoughtful layout, and legendary durability. The SeaV² hull is a standout—smoother and drier than many comparables in head seas, with better stability than pure deep-Vs. It's praised for family versatility (bow seating, head, shower) without sacrificing fishing features.
Common positives:
- Excellent rough-water performance for a trailered boat.
- Low maintenance (when kept up) and strong resale.
- Versatile for inshore flats, bays, or coastal offshore.
