"do it all boat that the family can ski and tube behind on a lake but I can still use for salt water fishing" yep, that's a dual cosole, and Grady makes the best - I'll gladly trade a less-flat wake for less pucker factor when facing a real chop.... like rounding the breakwater/point/etc and...

I've pulled a tube behind the 225. Clearly plenty of wake for that, especially horsing around doing figure-8's trying to get the tow-ee airborne. I've skied behind a 192 and 205, and I guess the wake is just something to play on. Certainly not a ski boat trying not to make wake. with a yammy...

Thanks for relaying the experience. 9" screen would certainly be an upgrade from what's there now. Which generation do you have? (Live, Gen3, Gen2...) Works OK for navigation? If you have one of the long transducers, guessing you have it under the OB bracket? stays in place ok? Tempting to...

^^^ Ha! I was thinking of doing the same, but thought it maybe too crazy an idea. Guess it works OK! Is it then just a challenge of minimizing stress on the cables? and, did you consider keeping the bottom hinges instead? I had wondered if that would be a little more ergonomic. Hinges up...

Does anyone have a 12" or so GPS mounted in the "glovebox" of their 225? What's the biggest you've tried to stuff in there? I've measured, figured, head scratched... and I think an HDS12 would fit. anyone with that setup? Pix? Suggestions? Assuming the doors would be open while in use, IE...

^^^ motivation to scrub and polish the grungy old ones that came with my boat. helps with the GPS fund. :)

What did you end up using to clean up the seat cushions? I have some with stubborn mildew stains. And, the bolsters / coaming pads have screws on the bottom, then with those undone, the pads lift off? Looks like great progress! gonna look like a new boat!

Where did you get the hatch spring? I think the starboard one (livewell) is questionable at best. Curious, where was yours advertised? I bought the listed on boat trader, in Marion, MA. "Flygirl"

^^^ You, sir, Rock. https://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-964-StowAway-Organizer/dp/B0009YF5ES out of production? One expensive option - https://www.boatoutfitters.com/tackle-box-with-4-plano-trays My red part is fine and it sounds like yours is too, but maybe the surround in the above thing...

Not to hijack, but does it look like this?

Ha! subscribed. I've been... Tearing into our new 2006 Tournament to try and get everything right before spring. :) I didn't realize that new switch covers were available (didn't really have an answer for that, other than goofy labels) My tackle box cabinet has exactly one actual plastic...
