The 2015 Grady-White 191 CE Coastal Explorer is a bay boat designed for those of us with size limitations. Sure, the 251 CE that Grady introduced last year is a magnificent beast of a bay boat. But many of us have small tow vehicles, use backwater launch ramps that can't handle a 25' long boat, or simply can't afford the boating budget it takes to buy and run the big boy. The 191 CE is an excellent solution—check it out and see for yourself.


You can get the full scoop on this boat by reading our review, Grady-White 191 CE Coastal Explorer: Mighty Mouse. And yes, of course you can also go to Grady-White and gather even more details. In the meantime, let us hit you with a few of the pertinent specs: 51 MPH top-end speed, with a Yamaha F200 outboard. Nearly five MPG at a 30 MPH cruise. Seating for seven. A 149 quart overboard-draining insulated fishbox. Twin (optional) livewells. And a 48 quart insulated cooler.

Grady-White 191CE first look videoIf you've been shopping for a bay boat, you're probably thinking that these specs look like those from a much larger version. Say, a 22' to 24' footer. Well, you're right. Even though the foot-print of this boat is significantly down-sized from the 251 CE, Grady-White's designers have managed to roll an awful lot into this little package.
