I have a 1993 Grady White Marlin I brought up from Florida a few years ago. It is 280 it is essentially the same as the current 300. It has Merc 250 EFI's and I have spent a ton of money on it. Since I bought it I have done the following. I barely use it due to job commitments and a newer addition to the family. In the past 3 years I have done the following.
-Stripped the bottom to bare gelcoat,fixed all minor knicks,barrier coated it and new bottom paint.
-all new canvas, upholstery and curtains. Done in tasteful navy and beige sunbrella.
-brand new holding tank macerator pump and rebuilt the head
-Engines are 1997's and are around 300 hours total. One has new tilt motor. The other has new lower end and new tilt motor.
-All new seastar hydraulic steering including all hoses and fittings
-Raymarine electronics package -radar,gps,nav,depth sounder and dsc radio. $7,000 installed plus Clarion marine stereo.AM/FM CD (Satellite capable)
-Brand new (less than 5 hours) Kohler 5E generator professionally installed.
-New wash down pumps. Rebuilt live well pump. Brand new rear bilge pump.
-New alchohol/electic one burner stove.
-new Magma stainless BBQ side mounted on removable bayonet mounts.
- replaced a ton of fittings and latches for cosmetic purposes.
-two scotty Pro-pac extendable boom electric downriggers the best they sell. Outlets professionally installed
-3 batterys and switches less than 2 years old. look like new. Well serviced refilled reguarly with distilled water.
-Less than 30 hours on Merc 9.9 bigfoot saildrive kicker, linked sterring and quality powder coated aluminum mount. very clean install. (no power tilt I kick my butt).
-I use a huge (200 litres) $800 cooler with a nice cushion on top as a rear seat and fish box/beer cooler. Block of ice lasts a week it's so well insulated.
-Stored in a boathouse with a heater, hooked to shore power. I wash it every month and start it up every two weeks all winter. One touch starting.
Will look at interesting offers.
