This boat has so much space, and so many features, that it will find fans from the cruiser, family boater, and Bahamas traveler, along with great features to satisfy the fisherman in the family. The dual console layout has become popular to many boaters who seek the full gunnel to gunnel sun protection of an Express, but who do not feel the need to have a full below deck cabin system. The 335 combines the benefits of both, by giving you all the possible amenities of a traditional cabin model, but available on deck in this dual console layout. In the same way the advent of open concept kitchens allowed the whole family to stay together in the home, the 335's layout allows a myriad of boating activities, with no one feeling separated from the fun. The 335 also has a spacious open aft cockpit, with multiple hide-away seating configurations, making it ideal to entertain a group of people, or to have multiple anglers fighting fish offshore.

Grady-White may consider the 335 Freedom part of their dual console lineup, but they may have in fact invented a whole new category of "quad console" boats. We already mentioned the two forward consoles housing a cabin and head, but there is still more to talk about. Topsides you'll discover the generous L-shaped lounge area, with a very cleverly designed mechanical fold up table port side. Behind this is a electric fold out seat, with built in storage area. When the seat is retracted the backrest folds out and down into a solid countertop area perfect for serving snacks, drinks, or for filling your plates for a meal at the other seating areas. That brings us to the starboard side, which houses the helm, and generous padded electric adjusting helm seat with flip up bolster. Behind this is the wet bar area, with pull out trash bin, drawer storage, sink, and optional electric smokeless grill and stainless drink refrigerator. You can put together a pretty serious meal when considering the optional temp-controlled transom box and below deck microwave.  This is a all around perfect boat to entertain friends and family. Also, the boat can be ordered with helm air conditioning, great refreshment during a hot summer day. With the full curtain package the entire interior area can be quite comfortable, especially great for inclimate weather. 

Moving into the cockpit, besides the aforementioned aft fishbox, and fold away seating, as well as a hot and cold freshwater shower, this Grady has two brand new features. The first is an electric Sure Shade sun cover that extends from the hard top to provide shade for the cockpit both at anchor, and even up to a reasonable cruising speed. The second is a side dive door. Grady's dive door has a fold-in design with a bracket mounting attachable ladder. This allows optimum use for the door both for getting in and out of the water, and use at the dock or transom of a larger vessel. While we are talking about the cockpit lets talk fishing again. We are in the Sportfishing Capitol of the World, so even the cruiser in the Keys wants to be able to fish on occasion. The 335 Freedom has a surprisingly large blue colored transom 39 gallon livewell, with full column distribution and lighting, rod holders on the legs of the painted hard top frame, and hard top mounted optional telescoping outriggers. With all of that available there is no reason you can't troll a couple of lines on the way to your next destination while those less inclined to fish make use of the many other areas of this spacious vessel. This boat is, of course, powered by the ever reliable and capable Yamaha 350 Horsepower Four Stroke outboards.
