Inspired by the new, more powerful outboards and by customers' request for a bigger boat, Grady-White introduced the 36-foot Express 360 at the New York and Miami winter boat shows. With a triple engine outboard configuration, the Express 360 is the first and best alternative to inboards in the 35- to 50-foot range.
“ This Grady creates a whole new category of sportfishing boat...”
This Grady creates a whole new category of sportfishing boat, and comes with all the goodies on the wish lists of the owners, dealers and associates consulted during development—and almost all features are standard.

The entire cabin, from the vee berth captain's quarters to the 56" x 84" aft berth (both with privacy curtains), is zone cooled with a 16,000 BTU air conditioning unit. Clearance in the cabin is a healthy 6'8"! The bulkhead between the forward berth and the main cabin area has a teak divider with a glass etched blue marlin. The cabin centerpiece is a height adjustable teak dinette table with booth type seating for four. The galley features an electric glass top double stove, a refrigerator/freezer drawer like that found on custom yachts, a deep steel double sink, microwave oven and Corian® countertops. The entertainment center features a 15-inch flat screen TV with DVD, a stereo CD system and satellite radio capability. The enclosed, ventilated head area is well appointed and has a VacuFlush® system with a 10-gallon holding tank. Storage on a Grady is everywhere!

There has never been a helm area on an outboard that is so comfortable and easy to operate. The deluxe captain chair adjusts vertically and horizontally. Teleflex throttles are electronically programmable with engine synch mode, making the triple engines as easy to run as twins. The mechanically controlled electronics enclosure keeps equipment protected and at just the right height. The helm surround seating enhances social interaction, and a slide away side table is a nice touch.

The Express 360 is born and bred for big water and big fish. The great SeaV2® hull will take you where the fish are biting and back again in safety, comfort and faster than comparably sized diesel inboards. It is evident that a fisherman arranged the cockpit. Rod storage is plentiful, convenient and out of the way. There's a complete rigging station with freshwater sink, insulated bait box and lockable tackle drawers. There's a 48-gallon lighted livewell with a full column distribution inlet and 1100 GPH pump. The transom has a cavernous 269-quart refrigerator/freezer fish box; this and the 55-quart helm port box are controlled by separate digital thermostats. Refrigeration coils in the walls of these boxes greatly reduce the need for ice.

Ask your dealer to show you more about this awesome, breakthrough boat!
