If you had your choice between a 33' Grady express and a 31' Albemarle which one would you choose and why?

are they the same age/year? grady is probably outboards adn the albie is probably inboards correct.
you know those grady's are a piece of nuts so go with the other.

Anything becomes a piece of nuts if "MATEY DRIVES" LOL
Within two years and $15K of each other.
I know the albe is heavier by 4000#, but what would I expect to get in gas mileage difference?

If the albe is T/IB or IO gas - and depending on the 33GW's power (4Stroke?) feed some specs and it would help... other things to look at... Does the albe have a tower? do you need sleeping room? generator? hours?

Yeah this isnt really a question.... 600hrs is NOTHING on a diesel let alone Yanmars. I have over 800 on my LP's and the biggest expense so far has been a new water pump.
31 Albe with twin LY's is gonna run d**n hard.
Now - just remember you need to have a place to keep it
