Grady-White Canyon 271
Already an agile center-console sport-fisher with big-boat features, the popular Grady-White Canyon 271 now boasts a port cockpit side door and dockside power.
These amenities join fishing-friendly standard features such as lockable rod storage, deluxe full-feature lean bar, and a trio of fish boxes: two of 85 quarts each in the bow and one of 196 quarts in the cockpit, which also features a 32-gallon insulated livewell with full-column distribution.
A bench seat faces a helm with a large, flush-mount electronics panel, Yamaha Helm Master EX digital electric steering, and hydraulic trim-tab controls. The large, scratch-resistant windshield is incorporated into the painted aluminum-framed T-top, which boasts rod holders and outrigger plates, among other attributes.
Comfort features include Grady-White’s patented foldaway aft bench and a console with a tinted side window and ventilated head. A transom door makes boating large fish or accessing the swim platform easy.
Options include a leaning-bar upgrade, Command Elite helm chairs, stainless-steel outriggers with carbon-fiber poles, a Yamaha Helm Master EX full-maneuverability package and/or bow thruster, and an electrically retractable hardtop sunshade with Sunbrella canvas.

Editor Says
Grady-White became best known for its superlative walkarounds, but over the last two decades, the Canyon series has changed that. Built on the company’s smooth-riding SeaV2 hull, you can reach the offshore grounds while remaining dry and comfortable. -Joe Albanese, Executive Editor Salt Water Sportsman
