Hey,

The Trophy's are regarded as pretty poor quality in the states. I personally don't have any issues with them.

The Grady's are VERY expensive. You will find that out. Whether they are worth it is your choice.

I personally have owned a Seaswirl Striper 2301. In my opinion a much better quality boat than the Trophy for less dollars than the Grady.

Make sure you check them out also.

Regards

Darren

I think overall we should be supporting the aussie made boats lets face we all have jobs and if you buy u.s made product that does not help our fellow working aussies.

go the striper (but I am biased)

if someone chooses a usa built boat over ours, its for a reason. more bang for your dollar. maybe our builders might want to pick up their game a bit .sid

I might do that sometime...but based on last 2 boat purchases, I would take a lot of convincing.

When the Aussie manufacturers of glass boats can match the bang for the bucks and the delivery times..AND...be able to tell an accurate delivery time..I might consider it..until then..no chance.

Spot on mate, my Striper 2300 cost just over $46,000 landed in Brisbane, good luck finding anything similar built localy for that price.
