Patented Cockpit Step Allows Easier Boarding

Here is another great feature now available on most Grady-White models 23 feet and up, not including those equipped with a cockpit side door.

The innovative, patented cockpit step allows easier access into and out of the boat. The step eases boarding, and then securely locks in place when folded back into the gunwale area.

The cockpit step is standard on the Canyon 306 and Freedom 307. The feature is optional on the Freedom 235, Fisherman 236, Freedom 255, Fisherman 257, Canyon 271, and Freedom 275.
