Our Thoughts

This 2007 Grady-White Bimini 306 represents a well-documented example of one of the brand's most capable mid-sized center console platforms, maintained under professional marina and Grady-White dealership care since 2014. The 30.5-foot hull combines proven offshore capability with practical coastal cruising functionality, backed by comprehensive service records and a purposeful repower investment.

The 2017 twin Yamaha F300NCA DEC four-stroke engines deliver modern reliability and fuel efficiency while maintaining the performance envelope the Bimini 306 platform was designed for. These engines represent a significant ownership upgrade, transforming the boat's operational economics and reducing long-term maintenance burden compared to original powerplants of that era.

Electronics have been thoughtfully updated with twin Simrad NSS12 Evo3S 12-inch multifunction displays, providing integrated navigation, sounder capability, and system monitoring across the helm station. The Simrad RS40 VHF radio, AC42 autopilot, and dome radar round out a modern, cohesive electronics suite that supports confident offshore operation and extended cruising. Fusion audio integration adds practical entertainment value to extended days on the water.

Functional upgrades reflect real-world boating priorities: the bow thruster enhances docking precision in tight quarters, taco telescoping outriggers expand fishing versatility, and the casting platform insert accommodates anglers and sight-casting opportunities. The recently replaced isinglass enclosure preserves weather protection and visibility around the hardtop, extending seasonal comfort.

Lift-kept since new with no bottom paint, the boat has avoided osmotic stress and sustained the hull integrity that defines Grady-White's construction reputation. The 306-gallon fuel capacity supports extended range cruising, while the shallow 1.58-foot draft permits access to protected waters and coastal exploring unavailable to deeper-draft designs.

This is a turnkey center console positioned for confident offshore fishing, family cruising, or mixed-use boating without the capital outlay of newer comparable models. Located in Pompano Beach, the boat is accessible for inspection and sea trial.

2007 Grady-White Bimini 306: A Well-Maintained Offshore Center Console with Twin Yamaha Engines and Modern Electronics
Overview
The 2007 Grady-White Bimini 306 represents a proven offshore center console platform built for serious fishing and coastal cruising. At 30.5 feet in length with a 10.58-foot beam, this vessel combines the shallow-draft capability and fuel efficiency of the Bimini series with the seaworthiness Grady-White is known for in the mid-sized center console category. This particular example has been meticulously maintained under professional marina and Grady-White dealership care since 2014, with a complete repower in 2017 using twin Yamaha F300NCA DEC four-stroke outboard engines—a significant investment that extends the operational life and reliability of the vessel. The boat's lift-kept storage history, absence of bottom paint exposure, and documented service records provide transparency into its condition and upkeep.
Layout and Deck Design
The Bimini 306 layout emphasizes functional fishing access and comfortable day-boating capability. The center console design keeps the helm station forward and unobstructed, with the console providing full 360-degree visibility and helm control. The bow area features fishing access with a casting platform insert, allowing anglers to position themselves for sight-fishing or light tackle work. Taco telescoping outriggers have been added to the vessel, expanding its capability for trolling and offshore game fishing applications. The cockpit aft of the console provides a working deck for fighting fish and managing tackle, with the transom positioned for easy boarding and water access. The shallow 1.58-foot draft of the Bimini 306 is a significant advantage for fishing shallow flats, coastal estuaries, and inland waterways while maintaining the hull strength and sea-keeping qualities needed for offshore conditions. This draft-to-length ratio allows the vessel to access areas that larger express cruisers and flybridge models cannot, making it ideal for the Florida Gulf Coast and Atlantic inshore-to-offshore fishing grounds.
Helm and Electronics
The helm station has been upgraded with modern Simrad electronics that provide navigation, fish finding, and vessel control capabilities expected in contemporary offshore fishing vessels. Twin Simrad NSS12 Evo3S 12-inch multifunction displays (MFDs) serve as the primary navigation and sonar interface, offering redundant chart plotting, real-time weather overlay, and integrated sonar display across networked screens. These touchscreen units support Simrad's full ecosystem of digital charts, including NOAA coastal charts and advanced mapping layers relevant to Florida coastal and offshore fishing. The Simrad AC42 autopilot integrates with the MFD network, providing hands-free steering for long cruises and precise positioning during fishing. The Simrad RS40 VHF radio with integrated DSC (Digital Selective Calling) ensures reliable communication and emergency capability, standard equipment for offshore operation. The Simrad dome radar adds collision avoidance and weather detection capability, particularly valuable for offshore transits and night operation. Helm ergonomics benefit from the center console design, with the steering station positioned to allow the operator clear sight lines to the bow, transom, and surrounding water. The addition of a bow thruster enhances maneuverability in tight docking situations and anchoring, a practical upgrade for a vessel of this size and length.
Power and Propulsion
The 2017 repower with twin Yamaha F300NCA DEC four-stroke outboard engines represents the modern standard for mid-sized offshore center consoles. These naturally aspirated, 300-horsepower-per-engine units deliver 600 total horsepower, providing sufficient power for the 30.5-foot hull to achieve planning speeds and maintain efficient cruise capability. Yamaha's four-stroke technology reduces fuel consumption, noise, and emissions compared to older two-stroke powerplants, and the DEC (Digital Engine Control) variant integrates with compatible helm systems for electronic throttle and shift control. The dual-engine configuration provides redundancy—if one engine requires service or develops an issue, the vessel can continue operation on a single engine at reduced speed. For a vessel based in Pompano Beach with access to the Gulf Stream, Bahamas , and extended offshore grounds, this reliability margin is operationally significant. The 306-gallon fuel capacity supports extended range, with the efficiency of modern four-stroke outboards extending the cruising radius compared to older two-stroke or gasoline inboard configurations.
Comfort and Convenience Features
The recently replaced isinglass enclosure modernizes the bow area, providing weather protection and wind reduction for forward seating or fishing station use. This upgrade extends the comfortable operating season and protects electronics and deck gear from salt spray and weather exposure. The Fusion stereo system provides entertainment during leisure cruising and dockside time, a practical amenity for a day-fishing and weekend-cruising platform. The helm station layout supports extended time at the wheel, with the center console design offering a commanding view of the surrounding water and natural ventilation.
Service History and Condition
The documented service records available through the dealership provide a transparent maintenance history spanning nine years of professional care. The 2017 repower is the most significant service event, with engine replacement representing a major capital investment in the vessel's future. Lift-kept storage eliminates the osmotic blistering and bottom paint degradation associated with wet storage, preserving the hull's structural integrity and reducing long-term maintenance costs. The absence of bottom paint exposure is an advantage, as the hull has not accumulated the typical growth and corrosion issues common in moored or trailered vessels in saltwater environments.
Why This Vessel Represents Solid Value
The 2007 Grady-White Bimini 306 occupies a practical middle ground in the offshore center console market. It is large enough to handle rough water and extended offshore transits, yet compact enough to deliver good fuel economy and operate in shallow-draft coastal grounds. The modern electronics suite and recent engine repower eliminate the two largest sources of uncertainty in purchasing a 17-year-old vessel—navigation and propulsion reliability. For buyers seeking a proven fishing platform with documented care, modern electronics, and the shallow draft advantage of the Bimini design, this vessel offers transparent value. The lift-kept history, complete service records, and professional dealership oversight reduce the typical risks associated with used boat purchases. The addition of the casting platform insert, outriggers, and bow thruster reflects owner investment in fishing capability and operational convenience. The vessel is priced competitively for a repower example with modern electronics in the current market, and its location in Pompano Beach provides immediate access to the Atlantic, Gulf Stream, and Bahamas grounds that define South Florida boating.

What is a Grady-White Bimini 306 and what type of boating does it support?
The Grady-White Bimini 306 is a 30.5-foot dual-console cruising and fishing boat built for coastal and offshore operation. The model combines a spacious cabin with a functional cockpit layout, making it suitable for families who want comfortable overnight cruising alongside fishing capability. The Bimini design offers excellent visibility from both the helm and a forward cabin area, with a hardtop providing weather protection. This vessel class is popular for weekend getaways, fishing trips, and extended cruising in moderate sea conditions, particularly in Florida waters and the Gulf Stream.
What engines power this 2007 Grady-White Bimini 306 and how were they upgraded?
This boat is equipped with twin Yamaha F300NCA DEC four-stroke engines, installed during a 2017 repower. These 300-horsepower-per-engine outboards deliver 600 total horsepower, providing strong acceleration and cruising efficiency for a 30-foot vessel. The DEC designation indicates digital engine control, which integrates with modern electronics for coordinated throttle and trim management. The 2017 repower means the engines are relatively recent and have been maintained under the care of a Grady-White dealership, with documented service records available.
What electronics and navigation systems are installed on this boat?
The vessel features twin Simrad NSS12 Evo3S 12-inch multifunction displays, which are recent upgrades that provide chart plotting, sonar integration, and advanced navigation features. These are paired with a Simrad AC42 autopilot for hands-free steering, a Simrad RS40 VHF radio for marine communication, and a Simrad dome radar for weather and target detection. A Fusion stereo system provides entertainment. This integrated Simrad suite allows data sharing between systems and supports modern marine connectivity, making the boat well-equipped for both day trips and offshore cruising.
Does this Bimini 306 have a bow thruster, and how does it improve boat handling?
Yes, this boat is equipped with a bow thruster, which is a lateral propulsion unit at the bow that allows the captain to move the front of the boat sideways without using the main engines. This feature significantly improves docking and maneuvering in tight spaces, marinas, and when anchoring in wind or current. For a 30-foot dual-console boat, a bow thruster reduces the physical effort required during low-speed maneuvers and increases confidence when operating in crowded anchorages or narrow channels.
What fishing-specific features and equipment does this boat include?
The boat is outfitted with a casting platform insert, which provides a dedicated space at the bow for sight-casting and fly fishing. Taco telescoping outriggers are installed to deploy and retrieve fishing lines at distance, helping to cover more water and reduce line tangles when trolling. These features indicate the boat was set up with fishing in mind, though the vessel's primary design is cruising-focused. The cockpit layout and cabin comfort make it suitable for anglers who want to fish during the day and enjoy comfortable accommodations at night.
What is the cabin layout and sleeping arrangement on the Bimini 306?
The Bimini 306 features a forward cabin with sleeping berths and a dual-console layout that separates the helm station from the cabin area. This design allows one person to navigate while others rest or prepare meals below. The cabin includes standing headroom and storage, supporting overnight trips and extended cruising. The exact berth configuration and cabin amenities are typical of the Bimini 306 class, though specific cabin details should be confirmed during a vessel walkthrough at the Pompano Beach location.
How much fuel capacity does this boat have and what is the cruising range?
The boat carries 306 gallons of fuel capacity, which is substantial for a 30-foot vessel and supports extended offshore cruising. With twin 300-horsepower engines, fuel efficiency depends on cruising speed; running at moderate cruising RPM typically yields better range than wide-open throttle operation. The 306-gallon capacity allows for day trips with fuel reserves and multi-day cruising when fuel consumption is managed. Specific range calculations should account for sea conditions, load, and cruising speed preferences.
What recent upgrades and maintenance has this boat received?
The boat has been under the care of a Grady-White dealership since 2014 and includes extensive documented service records. Recent upgrades include the 2017 twin Yamaha engine repower, newly updated Simrad NSS12 Evo3S electronics, a recently replaced isinglass enclosure for weather protection, and added features such as the bow thruster, autopilot, radar, and outriggers. The vessel has been lift-kept since new, meaning it has been stored out of the water on a lift rather than in the water, which reduces bottom growth and extends hull life. No bottom paint is present, confirming the lift-keep maintenance approach.
Is this boat suitable for family cruising and overnight trips?
Yes, the Bimini 306 is designed for family cruising with a cabin that provides sleeping berths, a galley for food preparation, and a head (marine toilet). The 32-gallon freshwater capacity supports basic washing and cooking for overnight trips. The dual-console layout keeps the helm area separate from the cabin, allowing the captain to operate the boat while family members relax below. The hardtop and isinglass enclosure provide weather protection for the cockpit. This combination of cabin comfort, cockpit functionality, and modern electronics makes the boat well-suited for families planning weekend getaways and coastal cruising.
What are the physical dimensions and draft of this vessel, and where can it operate?
The Bimini 306 measures 30.5 feet in length with a 10.58-foot beam (width) and a 1.58-foot draft (water depth required). The shallow draft allows operation in coastal areas, shallow bays, and rivers where deeper-draft vessels cannot venture. The compact beam makes it easier to fit in standard marina slips and allows the boat to navigate narrow channels. This combination of size and draft makes the boat suitable for Florida coastal cruising, Gulf Stream fishing, and Bahamas cruising, where shallow-water access is valuable. The boat is currently located in Pompano Beach, Florida, a prime location for accessing offshore and coastal fishing grounds.
What trailer options are available and how is the boat currently stored?
The boat does not come with a trailer, but the dealership is a Magic Tilt dealer and can provide a custom trailer quote based on your specific needs and preferences. Currently, the boat is lift-kept, meaning it is stored on a dry-stack or marine lift system rather than in the water. This storage method preserves the hull and reduces maintenance. If you plan to transport the boat or store it on a trailer, the dealership can help configure an appropriate Magic Tilt trailer that matches the boat's dimensions and your intended use.
