Hello everyone I hope someone can help me with some info on a gill bracket. I am mounting a 27" set back gill bracket on a 22 Seafarer and need to know how high above the bottom of boat should the cavitation plate be. The motor is a 25" shaft 225HP 2 stroke Yamaha. I have heard this should be...

Can you give me the number to that canvas shop. What does that include .

I am looking for pictures of 22 seafarer without a hard top. I am going to put a new top and curtains and back drop on. Looking for some ideas.

Great info that is what I was planning, not sure what to offer for the boat yet. What motor did you have and how was the gas consumption ? After you repowered did you enjoy the boat?

Good looking boat. I am looking at a 22 Seafarer with a 2.6 Litre OMC. Which is around 205-235 H.P. and was wondering what kind of fuel consumption do you use.

SINGLE motor, and the 2.6 litre is around 205-235 H.P.

The owner had said that the boat motor burns 15-20 GPH at 4,000 RPM. That is almost unheard off for a single motor. If that is the case then the repower would come soon.

Thanks NO PROBLEM for the article.The picture shows the exact boat. I have talk to numerous outboard dealer and they said that the Seadrive was over engineered and cost to much to manufacture, but they worked very well as what the article states. But the price of this boat still has to reflect...

This motor has a ducted breather system. Which means there is a breather tube that run under the gunnal so there is a 7" oval hole though the top area of the transom. all the other holes are 1/2" drilled holes for mounting of the sea drive bracket

yes you maybe right ,the price would have to reflect the work and risk.

The seadrive outboard appears to be the same as a regular outboard, but the mounting bracket is different. the mounting bracket does not look like it wieghs more than 35 pounds. If I have to repower all the brackets must come off and have to mount a grady mount for a regular outboard. I wonder...

Thanks for the gas tip. I will surely weight the repower into the price.

Thanks for the gas tip. I will surely weight the repower into the price.

You are right about not repairing the Sea drive. If the motor goes then I would have to repower. I was hoping that the motor would run a few years then repower. The gas consumption maybe the deal breaker I was told that these motors are very thirsty to the tune of 15 to 20 GPH @4,000 RPM. I was...

Looking to purchase my first Grady and was wondering about the ride of a 1986 22 Seafarer 2.6 OMC Seadrive. Does anyone have any info on this power system like fuel consumption. or any thiings I should looking out for before my purchase :?:
