The Grady-White Canyon 336 2013 vs Grady-White Express 360 2008 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Grady-White Canyon 336 2013 at 33,5 ft versus Grady-White Express 360 2008 at 36,0 ft.

That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

Rated to 1 050 hp, the Grady-White Express 360 2008 has a 350-hp advantage over the Grady-White Canyon 336 2013's 700-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 35 gal and 37 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
