2026 Grady-White Freedom 285

The 2026 Grady-White Freedom 285 is a 28-foot dual-console bowrider built on the brand's hand-laid SeaV² fiberglass hull, known for reliable performance across varying sea conditions. Powered by twin Yamaha F300XSB4 outboards with Helm Master joystick control and Yamaha autopilot, the boat combines offshore capability with open-water versatility. The Sage Gray hull features an underside hardtop color match, and the boat arrives equipped with a Magic Tilt trailer.

The cockpit is organized for both comfort and function. It includes a wide beam, self-bailing design with four drains, and a port-side door with integrated boarding ladder. Seating spans an electromechanically adjustable helm seat with extendable aft lounge, a deluxe companion bench with facing lounge extension, bow cushioned seating, and a foldaway aft bench. The hardtop frames the space with LED spreader lights, recessed tri-color lights, side-mounted rod holders, and outrigger plates. Additional amenities include a cockpit freshwater shower, 17 stainless steel drink holders, and a Corian countertop at the helm.

The boat is comprehensively equipped for fishing and water sports. An aft 185-quart insulated fish box with light, a forward 118-quart insulated box, and a 32-gallon livewell with full-column distribution and 1100 GPH pump provide storage and live bait capacity. Rod storage includes three horizontal racks plus five fixed holders positioned around the cockpit and transom. A lockable head in the port console offers a marine toilet with electric flush, 10-gallon holding tank with macerator, and deck pump-out option.

Standard safety and operational systems include hydraulic trim tabs with retractor, automatic bilge pumps totaling 2,600 GPH, anchor windlass with remote controls, dual battery setup with select switches, and full stainless steel hardware throughout. The sun platform insert comes with cushions; additional options fitted include underwater lights, a three-piece enclosure, aft curtain, and forward bow sunshade.
