Our Thoughts

The 2005 Grady-White Express 330 represents a thoughtfully maintained offshore fishing platform that combines the builder's proven Sea-V2™ hull design with a comprehensive 2015 repower and systematic modernization program. At 35.83 feet in length with an 11.58-foot beam and shallow 1.75-foot draft, this express-style center console delivers the stability and shallow-water capability that define the Grady-White brand while remaining trailerable in many markets.

The most significant upgrade to this vessel came in 2015, when the original powerplants were replaced with twin Yamaha F300 outboard engines, each rated at 300 horsepower. These fuel-efficient four-stroke outboards have logged only 904 hours, providing a meaningful head start on engine life and service intervals. The installation includes stainless steel three-blade propellers optimized for performance and a new Yamaha Command PLUS electronic control system, giving the operator precise throttle and trim management across both engines.

The 2015 repower extended well beyond the engines themselves. Fuel lines and gauges were replaced to factory specifications, and a 350-gallon fuel capacity supports extended cruising range for offshore fishing applications. Supporting systems received equal attention: a new 14-inch Furuno TZT touchscreen multifunction display provides integrated navigation, sounder, and chart plotting; a Furuno autopilot handles long-distance cruising; and climate control upgrades—new air conditioning and heating—ensure comfort during shoulder-season fishing trips and overnight anchoring.

The helm station was completely refreshed with a new helm chair installed in 2016, and a Fusion stereo with integrated amplification delivers entertainment throughout the boat. The 50-gallon water capacity supports the onboard head and freshwater systems.

Recent fishing-specific additions reflect active use by an angler-focused owner. A 2018 center rigger mast supports trolling operations, while 2017-vintage teaser reels and a chill plate/kill box and drink box package in the cockpit optimize the working space for serious game fishing. New Aquatraction non-skid decking throughout improves safety and footing in wet conditions.

Interior accommodations include a well-appointed head compartment for longer outings, and the 2015 cushion and bolster replacements, along with new isinglass, maintain comfort and weather protection. The overall condition reflects an owner who invested in systematic upgrades rather than cosmetic quick fixes—a meaningful distinction for buyers evaluating long-term reliability and resale value.

Located in Toms River, New Jersey, this Express 330 is positioned for immediate access to the Atlantic offshore grounds and inlet fishing that characterize the Jersey coast. At $133,500, it offers a repower-equipped, electronics-upgraded offshore fishing platform with documented service history and proven Grady-White construction.

2005 Grady-White Express 330: Twin Yamaha Offshore Fishing Yacht with Modern Electronics and Comprehensive 2015–2018 Upgrades
Overview
The 2005 Grady-White Express 330 represents a proven saltwater fishing platform enhanced through a systematic modernization program spanning 2015 to 2018. At 35.83 feet in overall length with an 11.58-foot beam, this center console fishing yacht delivers the stability and seaworthiness Grady-White is known for, backed by the manufacturer's signature Sea-V2™ hull design. Originally built on a fiberglass foundation engineered for offshore conditions, the vessel was comprehensively repowered in 2015 with twin Yamaha F300 outboard engines—each rated at 300 horsepower—providing 600 total horsepower. With only 904 hours logged since the engine repower, the propulsion system remains in early-use condition. The boat's location in Toms River, New Jersey, positions it within the Mid-Atlantic's premier fishing and cruising grounds, where its shallow 1.75-foot draft and responsive handling characteristics prove advantageous for coastal and near-offshore operations.
Hull Design and Construction
Grady-White's Sea-V2™ hull geometry distinguishes this Express 330 as a serious fishing and cruising vessel. The V-shaped bow entry transitions into a progressive hull bottom designed to reduce pounding in choppy seas while maintaining directional stability at cruising speeds. The 11.58-foot beam provides adequate interior volume for a 35-foot center console while preserving the narrow waterline footprint that supports fuel efficiency and responsive steering. The fiberglass construction, combined with the hull's geometry, delivers the kind of sea-kindly motion that allows anglers to fish comfortably during extended offshore runs and enables cruising families to enjoy longer passages without fatigue. A 1.75-foot draft permits operation in shallow coastal waters, inlets, and near-shore fishing grounds where many comparable offshore vessels cannot venture.
Propulsion and Performance
The 2015 repower with twin Yamaha F300 outboards represents a significant investment in reliability, fuel efficiency, and modern engine management. The F300 is Yamaha's flagship four-stroke outboard, engineered for saltwater environments with integrated corrosion protection, variable valve timing, and advanced fuel injection. Each engine delivers 300 horsepower, yielding a combined 600 horsepower—sufficient to propel a 35-foot center console to respectable cruising and planning speeds while maintaining the operational efficiency of modern outboard technology. The stainless steel three-blade propellers are matched to the engine package for optimal thrust delivery and fuel economy across the throttle range. The Yamaha Command PLUS integrated digital throttle and shift system, installed new in 2015, provides fingertip helm control with synchronized engine management, electronic trim and tilt, and real-time engine diagnostics displayed at the helm. This system reduces operator fatigue during long runs and enhances docking precision through independent engine control. With 904 hours of operation since repower, the engines remain in the early-use phase of their service life, and the fuel lines and gauges were replaced in 2015 as part of the comprehensive repower process.
Helm and Electronics
The helm station underwent significant modernization in 2015–2016. A new helm chair installed in 2016 provides ergonomic seating with bolster support for the captain during extended runs. The centerpiece of the electronics suite is a new 14-inch Furuno TZT touch-screen multifunction display (MFD) installed in 2015, offering integrated charting, sonar, radar capability, and real-time vessel data in a single intuitive interface. The Furuno autopilot, also new in 2015, enables hands-free navigation during cruising and reduces helm workload during fishing operations. The Yamaha Command PLUS throttle controller integrates seamlessly with the Furuno systems, presenting engine parameters, trim position, and fuel consumption data at a glance. Upgraded Fusion audio with amplification, added later, supports entertainment and communication throughout the vessel. This electronics package positions the Express 330 firmly within modern recreational and professional fishing standards, where situational awareness, navigation precision, and helm integration directly influence safety and operational efficiency.
Fishing Features and Cockpit Design
The Express 330's cockpit is configured for serious saltwater fishing. A center rigger, installed new in 2018, provides outrigger support for trolling applications and spread-line fishing techniques. Teaser reels, added new in 2017, enable the deployment of teasers and live bait presentations without requiring dedicated rod holders. A new chill plate and kill box system, installed in 2017, provides dedicated fish processing and storage immediately accessible from the cockpit, a practical feature for extended offshore trips targeting pelagic species. A drink box, also new in 2017, maintains beverage temperature and crew hydration during long fishing days. New Aquatraction decking, added in 2018, improves slip resistance in wet conditions—a critical safety feature on fishing vessels where crew members move frequently across the deck. The 350-gallon fuel capacity supports extended offshore range, while the 50-gallon freshwater capacity serves the galley, head, and crew comfort during multi-day trips.
Cabin and Interior Comfort
Below deck, the Express 330 provides refuge and rest for overnight cruising and fishing expeditions. A well-appointed head with marine toilet and sink offers essential sanitation facilities. The cabin accommodations, while modest by cruising yacht standards, provide a functional sleeping berth and storage for personal gear and fishing equipment. New cushions and bolsters installed in 2015 refresh the cabin seating and sleeping surfaces, while new curtains and new isinglass (2015) improve weather protection and visibility. A new refrigerator installed in 2015 enables food storage and cold beverage service, essential for crew comfort during extended trips. New air conditioning and heating systems (2015) provide climate control, allowing year-round operation in varying seasonal conditions and ensuring crew comfort during idle periods or overnight anchoring.
