Handling summary
The Grady-White Canyon 336 should be fairly easy for most boaters to handle. It is easy to slow and stop, and its two outboards can be used separately, which gives you more control at low speed. Wind can push this boat around more, so windy days take extra care.
Engine setup at low speed
The two outboards can be shifted independently, so opposing forward and reverse thrust gives real low-speed maneuvering control, with no thruster or joystick assistance recorded.
