What happens when Garden & Gun and Grady-White get together?  Plenty of good fun, lots of good cooking, and good times on a great boat.  This past week, Garden & Gun’s David DiBenedetto and Brittney Forrister met with Grady-White’s Joey Weller, David Neese, and Justin Wallace to explore Bath, North Carolina, by boat.  Our home base was a very swank house on Bath Creek owned by Grady-White President Kris Carroll.

After checking out historic Bath, our group toured the 2,900-acre hunting plantation owned by Grady-White CEO Eddie Smith—one of the sweetest spreads we’ve spent time on.  Our ride for the day was Grady’s new Tournament 307 (http://gradywhite.com/307/).  A new entry in the dual console market, the boat has the chops (and hull) to run offshore and fish in snotty conditions yet can be equally at home during a barrier island picnic.  No surprise, the 307 has been a hot ticket at fall boat shows.  Our favorite feature was the grill hidden beneath the Corian countertop (not to mention the tuna kabobs we cooked on it).  To check out photos of the trip, see below.
