Thank youI think you will find the build quality inferior to the Pursuits you were thinking about. Not a slam on GW just an observation of the two.

I have nothing against GW, but in our search for a new boat I looked at a bunch of GW 232s and some other models and was actually surprised at lack of quality in their finishing. Same goes for the brand new GW up at parksville boat house. Again, I’m not knocking Gradys it’s just the facts.
That would be a really big trailer....Sounds like you need a Commander
The 282 is a big mother to tow as well. That has to close to 11,000 lbs loaded up. So you came from Washington to look at a Canadian boat? It’s usually the other way around.That would be a really big trailer....

Then there’s that 30% discount thanks to the $CDN.yup. Gotta go where the boat lives! A nice trip. Border and ferry crossings treated us right.
Waiting for the ferry at Duke point and thought I’d share my thoughts after inspecting and testing the 282.
fit and finish on this boat was very good to excellent. Boat had new Suzuki 300s fly by wire. Easy power. Controls touchy. Boat handles well but had minimal seas (2’ chop).
Headroom was good (I’m 6’2”) in cockpit and cuddy. Layout seems REALLY tight for a boat if this size. Tough getting through the captain/navigator seats. Would not be able to sleep on this boat (my 20’ trophy has a bigger v berth.). Dance floor very nice.
probably not the boat for me.
Not so sure about that,I've seen a few Seasports for sale in the Seattle area in the $30-$40K range that I'd like if I got 30% off. Depends what your looking for I guess,quality boats go for quality prices.There’s really no discount. The currency difference is already built in. A boat that is priced at usd$30k down here is listed at cad$40k on your side of the border.
