The low entrance to the aft cabin which lies
under the helm is probably more comfort-
able for children but once inside, you have a
spacious sleeping surface and with the air
conditioning running at night, I suspect
many owners prefer to sleep there instead of
in the forward vee which can be left set up
as a dining area.
console for radios and other electronics.
There is lots of space for electronics
directly ahead of the driver too. Our test
boat had the Yamaha Command Link
digital instrumentation along with tilt
wheel, footrest and big compass. The
upholstery and fiberglass gel coat are all
the same Grady-White French vanilla
colour. That is a lot easier on the eyes
than stark white. With the new hardtop,
the optional 12,000 BTU bridge air con-
ditioning unit makes a lot more sense
and a 12,000 BTU system is standard in
the cabin.
Especially in the head, the fiberglass liner
will be easy to keep clean and will ward off
odours. The Vacuflush MSD is a great feature too. Cabin air conditioning is standard
but opening the hatches keeps things fresh.
Grady-White includes a 15” flat screen
TV, Kenwood stereo and Toshiba DVD
player for entertainment. A 4 kW diesel
generator is included to keep you comfortable away from shore power.
The galley features a storage locker
and three drawers under the Corian
counter and a storage locker with built-in
racking and mesh nets above. A Contoure
microwave is included as is an Isotherm
refrigerator and a two-burner ceramic
cooking surface. We liked the large,
round stainless-steel sink. Most parts are
in plastic or composite material for
strength and long life and the interior has
a full fiberglass liner.
The head is a usable size and again
has a Corian counter, handheld shower
and a Vacuflush MSD.
While all the virtues of the 330
Express seem to still be there, Canadian
buyers are sure to agree that the new
Grady-White 330 Hardtop makes a great
boat even better!
