Owner Experience Review

Owners of the Chase 273fromGrady-White Boatsuse it widely for offshore fishing and family day trips, citing a ride that is "very balanced, not a go fast boat but comfortable and very sea worthy." The deep-V hull and sharp entry deliver a soft, stable run in chop, and owners praise its predictable seakeeping offshore; several report regular bluefish runs and say it "also raises fish."

Layout is practical for mixed use: an uncluttered deck with wide walkways, a leaning post, transom livewell/fishboxes, and a foldaway stern seat make it easy to fish yet friendly for family cruising. The console head is compact but usable, and several owners say it is generously sized for a boat this length. Day charters and short overnights are feasible, but accommodations are limited for anything more than quick stays.

Performance is moderate by design; with Yamaha 225s, spec reports put top speed around 45 knots, but owners emphasize comfortable cruising and range over sheer speed. On upkeep, owners consistently flag console wiring and fuse panels for inspection or upgrades, watch corrosion on sending units and fuel/shore connections, and note that older Yamaha 4-strokes may face typical mid-life service or repower.

Pros and Cons

• Soft, stable ride offshore with a deep-V and sharp entry that owners trust.

• Practical fishing and family layout with livewell/fishboxes, wide walkways, and a foldaway stern seat.

• Compact but usable console head that works well for day trips and short overnights.

• Not a go-fast boat; owners prioritize a comfortable cruise over top-end speed.

• Limited overnight accommodations; fine for short stays but not for extended liveaboard use.

• Older boats may need wiring clean-up and corrosion attention, and some see mid-life service or repower on Yamaha 4-strokes.
