    When did the 22-8 come with 300 hp.

    Anyone know what year the 22-8 or 22-6 was built to take a 300hp? Looking for reviews. Thanks-

    towing a tender

    I have a 22-8 with a 225 yamaha. I wondered the same thing, towing a 13 whaler tender with a 30hp. I have yet to try it on a calm day just to see what or how it reacts. I will post in the next week to see how it goes.

    228 Upgrade Seat Options?

    I had a little bigger guy coming with me on a trip so I took the arm rest off to make his transition to the cockpit a little easier (did it before he showed up of course). I know what you guys are talking about. I looked at the companion seat and the only thing I can think of is Grady White...

    Cutting swim platform resealing the core

    Brian, with what material and where do they want to do the reinforcement. I'm now looking at the swim step mount that is made through "adventure" products. The model 10000.

    Cutting swim platform resealing the core

    Brian- I have a single where I think you might have twins. It seems that most of the guys with twins do infact attach the kicker to the swim platform after some type of reinforcement. Most guys on the great lakes prefer the transom mount because of the short chop waves we experience. This...

    228G Radar Installation

    The GW dealer went from the display box through the support pipe into the overhead box and then up into the hardtop. They usually fish a line/string through the pipe first by using a vacuum and pull the large cord. Make sure you start at the proper end.
