CALL NOW BEFORE SHE HITS THE MARKET🔥🔥🔥🔥 2008 GRADY-WHITE 330 EXPRESS-ONE OWNER • TWIN 2025 YAMAHA 300s • ONLY 23 HOURS🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

This is the Grady-White 330 Express buyers wait to find: a one-owner boat with exceptionally low-hour, late-model power and an extensive cruising, fishing and comfort equipment package.

The greatest value is hanging on the transom—twin 2025 Yamaha 300 V6 four-strokes showing only 23 hours. The important 20-hour break-in service has already been completed, giving her next owner modern Yamaha reliability without the cost or uncertainty of repowering an older 330. Extended Yamaha coverage is in place through 2030.

The Fischer Panda diesel generator received a complete service in August 2026, with receipts available for the new owner. The boat has also been recently detailed, all major systems are operating properly, and she is standing tall and ready to enjoy.

The Desirable Updated 2008 Design

The 2008 model belongs to the significantly updated generation of the Grady-White 330 Express. Compared with earlier boats, the 2008 redesign incorporated a raised cockpit and helm floor, a larger and higher windshield for substantially improved visibility, and a strengthened transom engineered for the heavier high-horsepower outboards entering the market at that time.

Built immediately before Grady-White’s 50th-anniversary model year, this boat combines those later-generation improvements with the company’s proven SeaV² hull—a continuously variable-vee design renowned for its soft, dry and stable ride.

The cockpit and cabin air-conditioning make a tremendous difference in Florida, while the serviced diesel generator allows those systems to be enjoyed away from shore power.

Most older 330 Express boats still carry aging, high-hour original power. This one has already received the expensive upgrade: twin 2025 Yamaha 300s with only 23 hours. Add the one-owner history, serviced Fischer Panda generator, dual Garmin electronics, radar, retractable shade and extensive comfort equipment, and the value becomes immediately clear.

She presents beautifully, stands tall and is ready to go for her new owner.

QUAD MERCURY 350 VERADOS • APPROXIMATELY 480 HOURS
TWIN 22-INCH GARMIN DISPLAYS • GENERATOR-FREE AIR CONDITIONING
NEW AQUA GRIP FLOORING & UPHOLSTERY

This extensively upgraded 2018 Blackwater 43 Center Console combines serious offshore performance, advanced electronics and yacht-level comfort in an exceptionally versatile platform. Finished in Blackwater’s distinctive light baby-blue hull color, she has recently received a fresh professional detail and presents with brand-new Aqua Grip flooring and upgraded diamond-stitched upholstery installed in June 2026.

BLACKWATER 43 OFFSHORE PEDIGREE

The Blackwater 43 has earned strong recognition from professional marine reviewers for its combination of offshore performance, range, comfort and intelligent use of space.

Florida Sportsman described the Blackwater 43 Sportfish as an “elegant offshore machine.” The magazine highlighted its substantial 11-foot-11-inch beam, 24-degree transom deadrise, abundant storage, protected helm and ability to combine a comfortable forward lounge with unobstructed fishing access.

In its quad-powered 1,400-horsepower test configuration—the same combined horsepower offered by this boat—Florida Sportsman reported speeds exceeding 60 MPH and a potential range of more than 700 miles. The reviewer noted that the boat could “run over 60 MPH and feel like you’re going 30,” emphasizing the composed and confidence-inspiring feel of the large offshore hull. Actual speed and range will vary according to loading, conditions and engine setup.

The professional review also praised the Blackwater’s ability to offer serious fishing space while incorporating comfortable seating, abundant below-deck storage and a genuine cabin with a berth, marine head, sink and vanity. The model has also received dedicated professional walk-through and motorboat-review coverage from BoatShowTV and The Boat Show.

QUAD MERCURY 350 VERADO POWER

She is powered by quad white Mercury 350 Verado outboards producing a combined 1,400 horsepower. The engines have approximately 480 hours, with the photographed Mercury SmartCraft instrumentation showing 481 hours.

Although no verified comparison supports calling it the most fuel-efficient boat in its class, its massive 780-gallon fuel capacity and published potential range exceeding 700 miles demonstrate the serious long-range offshore capability for which the Blackwater 43 was designed. Actual speed, range and fuel economy will vary with loading, sea conditions, engine setup and operating speed.

PUBLISHED MODEL SPECIFICATIONS

• Length Overall: 43 feet
• Beam: 11 feet 11 inches
• Transom Deadrise: 24 degrees
• Approximate Dry Weight: 18,000 pounds
• Fuel Capacity: 780 gallons
• Freshwater Capacity: 90 gallons
• Maximum Combined Horsepower: 1,400 HP
• Yacht Certified

The helm is equipped with Mercury digital throttle and shift controls, SmartCraft engine monitoring, trolling controls, individual engine trim and four-engine start/stop controls.

The major 500-hour service has already been completed. An additional engine-oil and filter service is presently due, and Backwater Marine will perform that service for the purchasing client before delivery. This ensures the engines receive their currently scheduled maintenance before the new owner takes possession.

$25,000 GARMIN GLASS-HELM UPGRADE

The helm was completely transformed with a brand-new pair of Garmin GPSMAP 9222 22-inch 4K touchscreen multifunction displays installed September 15, 2026.

This documented $25,000 upgrade provides an impressive modern glass helm with large, bright displays and outstanding visibility. The installation was designed to give the helm a clean, factory-quality appearance while placing navigation and vessel information directly in front of the operator.

The NMEA 2000 network integrates compatible engine information and supports the vessel’s Garmin chartplotting, radar, sonar and autopilot systems. Compatible Fusion audio and onboard functions can also be accessed through the Garmin system, keeping navigation, vessel information and entertainment conveniently organized at the helm.

GENERATOR-FREE COCKPIT AND CABIN AIR CONDITIONING

One of this Blackwater’s most valuable features is its custom inverter-powered electrical system. The system operates both the cockpit air conditioning and the cabin air conditioning without requiring a generator.

This provides ice-cold comfort without the noise, exhaust and routine maintenance associated with operating a marine generator. Whether entertaining at the dock, relaxing at anchor or spending the night aboard, both the helm and cabin can remain comfortably cooled.

HELM AND HANDLING EQUIPMENT

A Side-Power bow thruster provides additional bow control while docking and maneuvering in close quarters. The helm also features Mercury digital controls, individual engine trim, SmartCraft instrumentation, Garmin autopilot, a polished stainless steering wheel, multiple stainless cupholders and dedicated cockpit air-conditioning vents.

Additional helm equipment includes:

• Twin Garmin GPSMAP 9222 22-inch 4K displays
• Garmin radar
• Garmin sonar
• Garmin autopilot
• NMEA 2000 network integration
• Mercury SmartCraft instrumentation
• Mercury digital throttle and shift
• Mercury trolling controls
• Quad-engine start and stop controls
• Individual engine trim controls
• Side-Power bow thruster
• SkyMate emergency/SOS communication panel
• Shadow-Caster/Wet Sounds multi-zone lighting controller
• Lenco trim tabs
• Forward spotlight controller
• Windshield-wiper system

UNDERWATER AND MULTI-ZONE COLOR LIGHTING

The boat is equipped with underwater yacht lighting along with a Shadow-Caster/Wet Sounds multi-zone lighting-control system.

The helm-mounted controller provides control over multiple lighting zones and offers selectable white, red, green and blue illumination. Separate zones can be selected individually or synchronized through the controller.

The system controls color-changing accent lighting throughout different areas of the boat, including interior and cockpit accent lighting and illuminated speaker locations. This allows the lighting atmosphere to be adjusted for evening cruising, entertaining or relaxing at the dock.

CABIN COMFORT AND AMENITIES

The bright, finished cabin offers air-conditioned accommodations with upgraded diamond-stitched upholstery and brand-new Aqua Grip flooring. Cabin amenities include:

• Separate cabin air-conditioning system
• Generator-free inverter operation
• Whirlpool microwave
• Stainless sink with faucet
• Enclosed marine head and shower
• Electrical distribution panel
• Storage cabinetry
• Electrical outlets
• Cabin seating and sleeping accommodations
• Fire extinguisher
• Finished fiberglass interior

The inverter and air-conditioning systems make the cabin particularly useful for overnight stays, extended cruising and comfortable time aboard.

DECK, FISHING AND CRUISING EQUIPMENT

The Blackwater 43 provides a large open deck layout designed to accommodate offshore fishing, entertaining and family cruising. Equipment includes:

• Power-operated aft sunshade
• Outriggers
• Windlass and anchor system
• Freshwater system
• Twin baitwell pumps
• Twin macerator pumps
• Cockpit sinks
• Washdown system
• Multiple insulated storage compartments
• Numerous rod holders

Her wide beam, deep-V hull, protected helm, true cabin, extensive storage, seating and fishing equipment allow her to function equally well as a serious offshore fishing platform, an island-running machine or a luxury family cruiser.

2020 BARLETTA L-CLASS L25QCSSA COASTAL EDITION-SPORT ARCH • YAMAHA 300 • ONLY 220 HOURS
$49,995

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a heavily optioned, low-hour Barletta flagship for genuine wholesale money.

Powered by a Yamaha 300-horsepower four-stroke with only 220 hours, this L25QCSSA combines Barletta’s Quad-Lounge layout, co-captain’s chair, Sports Stern and expensive Sport Arch. At 27½ feet overall, she is essentially a huge floating apartment with comfortable seating and entertaining space from bow to stern.

Her ride reminds me of a 1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille easing over a speed bump—smooth, cushioned and remarkably composed. When heavy yacht wakes, larger-vessel traffic or choppy water approach, the triple-toon hull settles in and eases through them instead of delivering a harsh ride. Passengers remain comfortable and secure from the front seating to the stern.

The boat is offered at $49,995. A 2024 custom-built Rocket Marine pontoon/tritoon trailer is available separately for buyers who need one. Speak with us about an attractive package opportunity for the boat and trailer together.

ORIGINAL RETAIL-VALUE BREAKDOWN

The published 2020 factory pricing demonstrates how substantially this Barletta was equipped:

* L25QCSSA base boat with Sport Arch: $85,853
* Yamaha F300XCA 4.2L four-stroke: +$29,025
* Yamaha digital pre-rig: +$3,135
* Engine rigging with stainless-steel propeller: +$1,493
* Triple-Toon Package with in-floor storage: +$6,165
* Coastal Edition package: +$1,193
* Interior RGB Lighting Package: +$1,793
* Factory exterior underdeck/underwater lighting: +$1,193
* Eight-foot Power-Pole with installation and rigging: Approximately +$1,200

* ESTIMATED ORIGINAL EQUIPPED RETAIL: APPROXIMATELY $131,050

The Sport Arch alone represented approximately $18,000 over the comparable non-arch L25QCSS. That value is already included in the L25QCSSA’s base MSRP and has not been counted twice.

TODAY’S MARKET COMPARISON

Current-generation Barletta L25QCSS and L25QCSSA models are advertised well into the $150,000 range, frequently without a trailer. A used 2020 non-arch L25QCSS is currently advertised at approximately $67,900.

Based on its low hours, flagship equipment and Sport Arch configuration, we estimate that this boat in excellent cosmetic condition could reasonably fall within the mid-$80,000 range. Adding the 2024 custom trailer would place the potential value of a properly restored package at approximately $90,000 or more, depending on workmanship, mechanical condition and the market at that time.

POWER, PERFORMANCE AND CONSTRUCTION

This Barletta is powered by a Yamaha 300-horsepower four-stroke with only 220 hours and a stainless-steel propeller. It has the $6,165 Triple-Toon Package, full-length lifting strakes, hydraulic steering, a 48-gallon fuel tank, large in-floor storage locker, full underbelly skin, extended activity/swim deck and the $1,193 Coastal Edition package. An eight-foot Power-Pole shallow-water anchor is also installed.

SPORT ARCH AND EXTERIOR

The factory Sport Arch represented approximately $18,000 over the non-arch model and provides extensive forward and aft shade coverage. Additional exterior features include black-and-pewter paneling, LED docking lights, navigation and anchor lighting, stainless-steel stern boarding ladder, exterior rail fender hangers, dedicated fender storage, watersports/tow cage, stainless-steel pop-up cleats and a rear swim platform with Yeti-ready cupholders.

FACTORY COLOR-CHANGING LIGHTING

The factory-installed RGB system includes color-changing illuminated cupholders, interior accent and mood lighting, under-seat lighting, courtesy and floor lighting, arch/Bimini lighting and color-changing underwater stern lights. The lighting system can display multiple colors, including blue, red and orange. The interior RGB package represented a $1,793 factory upgrade, while the exterior underdeck/underwater lighting package added another $1,193.

ELECTRONICS AND ENTERTAINMENT

Equipment includes a Simrad 7-inch GO7 XSE chartplotter/multifunction display, premium Hertz marine stereo, six marine speakers, subwoofer, 1,500-watt amplifier, Bluetooth and auxiliary audio connectivity, USB charging ports throughout, premium Barletta gauges, integrated cellphone storage and charging area, oversized helm glovebox and an additional helm storage compartment with a drain.

LUXURY QUAD-LOUNGE INTERIOR

The huge Quad-Lounge interior includes a dedicated co-captain’s chair, Sports Stern configuration, premium cream/beige upholstery with black quilted accents, high-back reclining captain’s chairs, swiveling and sliding helm seating, folding armrests, Yeti-ready cupholders throughout, woven marine flooring, stow-away table, integrated wastebasket, integrated pet food and water dish, ventilated under-seat storage and an in-floor stern cooler/anchor compartment with a bilge pump.

2024 CUSTOM TRAILER AVAILABLE SEPARATELY

The boat did not originally come with a trailer. For buyers who need one, a 2024 custom-built Rocket Marine tandem-axle pontoon/tritoon trailer is available separately.

* Custom multi-bunk configuration designed for this Barletta
* 7,000-pound GVWR
* 6,000-pound stated cargo capacity
* Current estimated value of $5,000+
* Approximate new purchase price of $8,000

The trailer is not included in the $49,995 asking price. Speak with us about an attractive package opportunity for the boat and trailer together.

HONEST COSMETIC-CONDITION DISCLOSURE

Backwater Marine & Yacht Brokerage stands on integrity. This boat is being represented exactly as she sits—the good, the bad and the opportunity. The cosmetic flaws have been deliberately pointed out and photographed so prospective buyers can clearly see what they are purchasing. The damage shown in the photographs has not been digitally removed or concealed.

The upholstery remains soft, pliable and usable. The vinyl’s outer finish has visible surface checking or crazing, but it is not dried out, brittle or suffering from dry rot. There are several isolated damaged areas, including one substantial hole and tear that appears to have begun as a cut and opened further over time.

The exterior paneling also has cosmetic damage and will eventually benefit from replacement. These needs are reflected in the wholesale asking price.

This is not an interior that must be replaced before the boat can be enjoyed. A value-minded buyer can use the boat as she sits and complete the cosmetic refurbishment later. Depending on the buyer’s expectations, use and care, the upholstery could potentially remain serviceable for another one to three boating seasons.

THE WHOLESALE OPPORTUNITY

We estimate approximately $20,000 for new exterior panels and a completely renewed interior. That work is not included in the asking price, but it demonstrates the opportunity:

* Boat asking price: $49,995
* Estimated future cosmetic refurbishment: Approximately $20,000
* Estimated total boat investment after refurbishment: Approximately $69,995
* Estimated excellent-condition boat value: Mid-$80,000 range
* Optional 2024 custom trailer value: $5,000+
* Potential restored boat-and-trailer package value: Approximately $90,000+

These figures are estimates rather than guaranteed future values, but the value is clear. Even after budgeting approximately $20,000 for a complete cosmetic transformation, the buyer would remain substantially below the estimated value of an excellent-condition example.

This is a genuine low-hour diamond in the rough: only 220 hours, a Yamaha 300, factory Sport Arch, Triple-Toon Package, Coastal Edition, extensive RGB lighting, premium electronics and an eight-foot Power-Pole—all offered at a price that gives the next owner room to enjoy the boat now and improve her over time.
