THE VERO BEACH GRADY BUNCH is Grady-White’s oldest Owners’ Club, getting its start back in 1988 by sponsor Vero Marine Center, Vero Beach, Florida, as a fun way to introduce folks who bought Gradys from the dealership to the pleasures of Florida boating. They enjoy adventurous trips to destinations such as Savannah, GA, the Bahamas, the West Coast of Florida, the Keys, and all points in between. There are also day trips to local restaurants and beaches. Here’s some of the Bunch, along with Grady-White’s Eddie Smith, Kris Carroll, David Neese and Joey Weller,at the home of John Chianis in Man-O-War Cay.
