Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Grady-White Canyon 456 2022 vs Grady-White Chase 273 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Grady-White Canyon 456 2022 vs Grady-White Chase 273 2010 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 500 hp, the Grady-White Chase 273 2010 has a 50-hp advantage over the Grady-White Canyon 456 2022's 450-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Grady-White Canyon 456 2022 carries 616 gallons versus 205 gallons in the Grady-White Chase 273 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Grady-White Canyon 456 2022 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Grady-White Chase 273 2010 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Grady-White Canyon 456 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Grady-White Canyon 456 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 45,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Grady-White Chase 273 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
