I can listen to Mr.Sorenson for hours. His courses on piloting boats are excellent. Grady picked a great spokesman in Eric Sorenson!

If I hit the Power Ball Lottery, I'm getting a Grady White and then do You Tube videos featuring these beautiful machines!

I can listen to Eric Sorensen all day ... I'm a real fan. Every time he contributes to (or puts out) a video I learn an immense amount. Nice to see him working with G-W on this and other instructional videos. Keep up the fine work, Eric.

I spent a LOT of miles and hours in Grady Whites in the Gulf of Mexico off Naples Florida. They are everything he says they are.

I’ve been around boats, and studied hulls along time, I learned quite a bit! Great knowledge 👏😎⚓️🇦🇺🦘

Brilliant! Most comprehensive description ever produced.

Well,,, when you put it that way... you have the right guy explaining it! easy to see why this brand hull is so popular.

Lifting strakes also greatly increase structural integrity.. Really good video....I learned a lot...Thanks!!.

Great video!!! Informative, nice rhythm and simple to understand. Good job 👍

Really good video....I learned a lot...Thanks!!

Wow, Thank you so much for that Great Vid it makes so much Sense , and now All my Expectation will be incorporated in my next hull ..

Great , informative video. I am a big fan of Grady White's and have made it my "dream" boat.

Grady's do handle the seas off NJ very well. The 33 Marlin's are typically what I've experienced. A 26 Regulator is as good or better IMO. The biggest issue with GW's is access to components like bilge pumps, fuel tank accessories, batteries, raw water pumps, etc... but that's true for these style of boats in general. I have a 27 May-craft which has a pilothouse towards the bow of the boat and it will beat you up compared to a GW. Great video on hull design, especially the deadrise explanation. I'm that guy that only asks about the stern deadrise and never stopped to consider the midship deadrise.

Great video. I love my GW! Best hull you can buy!

Very informative. Well done.

Thank You for the Explanation, Quality information there.

You guys just covered properly so I can understand better these complex shapes CHEERS excellent. Oh Gradys handle Haulover better 💪🏻 too I’ve noticed

Eric & Sam Excellent ☝🏻

ThnkU, very good to know.

Thanks

Brilliant video n easy to understand. Thanks . 👍 for this one

I'm sold.

Nice explanation

Axopar boat shows the new technologies development design,,,,, as many other new boat ,yacht on the market ,,,,, the hall design change a lot the last few tears ,,,,,

To Eric Sorensen: I just saw your presentation, filled with experience and knowledge. It was excellent, BUT, I also design and build very nice hulls for commercial fishing, recreation, and for comfort in rough seas. But I have another excellent feature or two which I don't see on any boats I observed/experienced which I know you will find very interesting? I commercially fished the North Atlantic 1997-1992, and was disappointed how slow todays hulls go to and from the fishbanks. They take more time going and returning then they spend fishing. I left fishing to become a P. Eng., but I never did leave my desire to produce a most efficient boat. I spent many years trying to get more speed, more comfort and least HP installed, and I did run alongside your Grady White off Vancouver, B. C. in my 25' hull, using a single Yamaha 200 . We both ran side-by-side in some chop, for several miles to the fishing grounds. We did not test who was fastest. They were my very good friends. I would like to share some items you did not cover in your great presentation. I learned some new info from your presentation also. May I ask if we could upgrade our knowledge so you may possibly consider use of what I have. I'm getting old now, and trying to make my design known to designers and builders. My 36' fishing boat with 270 Hp Gas 403 Olds Marine at 4600 revs, gave a 35 MPH speed in SW 15-20 MPH chop. It also went airborne off a 6-8' wave when I tried to outrun an increasing storm. It landed so smoothly, that there was very little impact. I am certain you, like me, love to run smoothly in rough stuff,using much less HP. Your article heading SEVEN SECRETS, caught my attention, since I also have quite impressive secrets you will ge surprised to know. Possible you know McKesson's presentation on High Speed Cargo Ship Trends 1996. He liked what I was doing, and what could possibly improve faster ship designs while reducing power consumption? I have a 5.86' model which was pull tested to 12-14 MPH , from my 36' hull mentioned above. You know well for my 14,500 lb hull with 270HP , what that could mean. Your Grady White hulls are very impressive and well known, and proven. My 36' hull runs with an attitude of about 2 degrees above waterline.

Perfecto👍

Nice learn a lot in design of a boat or ship for speed too... ;-D

Grady White magic

okay. where was this video before I purchased my last boat

I am surprised nothing was said about weight, Gradys tend to be heavier and I have to believe that weight helps in rough seas.

if i was to buy a boat i would buy it from that man.

I wish this grady hull guy would walk around boat shows and review how good or bad hull designs are.

Wow I’m sold. Now let me get back to you with 500k. In all seriousness, Grady’s are the shit.

Best boats hands down!!!!!

Wow That guy really know what he was talking about

I have a 99’ Grady White 300 Marlin and want to know if the hull design is the same as a new Marlin.

Beautiful boat, unfortunately it is a bit out of my budget, but man is it fun to look.

Lifting strakes also greatly increase structural integrity.

Does Grady use balsa wood core?

good stuff. who's your major competitor your allude to? lol.

Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 GOOD information. Being a die hard Donzi Magnum Cigarette family I can attest to a WET hull ! Hehe 👌 🏄

One Quick question, that's been Puzzling me; GradyWhite designs consider stating the deadrise angle from keel to the inner Chine line or is it Keel to the outer chine line ?

Grady White Vs Scout Vs Sailfish. What one and why?

Between a Grady and a Pursuit? Im looking at both. Pursuits seems more luxurious, family oriented and less fishable (down side for me)……but what about hull design for high seas? Thoughts?

"One of our major competitors"...Boston Whaler?

where is this boat show held? i like to see in person

Every design feature was born from the Bertram 31 🙏

How does rounded keel make the ride softer? I get that it prevents bow steer but...

Will someone Please make a Sorensen statue!?

What competitor is he talking about regarding the strakes?!? Very Curious

I'm on my second Grady White first was a 226 Sea Farer and now a F26 Tiger Cat. Love Grady Whites, BUT!! when you call them or e-mail them they have no clue what you want and where to direct your call!! Answer this Grady White!!

I work at Grady white

Player Hydrofoil entered the game ...

A lot of great information… fire your video editor for putting the music in the video it ruined a what could have been a great video

Why hasn't someone invented giant airbags inside the cabin's to stop your pride and joy sinking to the bottom of the oceans. Then you can limp back to shore, knowing you're not polluting the oceans. Have a safe fun life and safe journey God bless ❤️

This Man talks more st than a Christmas turkey

Old thinking. I know this guy is selling what he has but huge advances have been made since this hull was initially designed.

It’s too bad that Grady white boats are so expensive,You pay for what you get!!!

Good boat but costumer service is not helpfull

What's wetter than wetter? Wetter.

Grady white and great hull design don't go together.....js

No. 1. should be: It's gotta be water-tight! Ok, stupid joke, sorry.

none of this actually talks about design, he is just saying "Pick my boat, because reasons..." Just a sales pitch. No theory, no evidence. Not a good video.

strakes make for a harder ride, the entry is superb, deadrise is steep at section two as are my designs, deadrise aft should be shallow not steep, some top game boats have mid and fwds sections like this is but only 10,12 aft, fore stability at rest and for ease of planing and fuel economy

Also this hull just looks right, I don’t like bows that curve down luke a searay or midnight so ugly and they plow
