Sorry but I don't consider Grady's to be all that well built. They are way over rated. A very good hull for offshore rough water, but not put together as well as the price would suggest. I would put them in the upper average in quality of materials and components. They are popular because there is so much used inventory down south that they can be brought up here cheap. You don't see many guys buying new ones for full pop.
You joking right... what would you consider top of the line then? There built like tanks and there fit and finish is unsurpassed (unsurpassed = there are other boats like regulator, carolina custom, contender, buddy davis, pursuit, etc) that have a similar finish. Have you ever owned or been on one? My best friend bought a brand new jenkins marina boat (sea sport knock off) for 120k two years ago, and my 89 grady puts its fit and finish to shame already - both in quality and functionality.
Best bang for your buck? NO - its like buying a mercedes or bmw - a honda does the same thing but your paying a premium for the name.
