I've owned both. The 192 last 1 season before I said "too small." The 223 with a bracket is ideal, preferably SV2 hull. Prices have come down on older models (1990's) to the point where if you find one with a good hull, it can still make sense to repower with a newer motor. They hold their...

Thank you Sean. As for the two other replies (Dennis & Ekea). Im sorry I hurt your feelings by asking why you are providing no useful information and wasting everyone else’s time. The internet can be a tough place when your own self-worth is so low that you depend on getting validation for...

So basically you're not familiar with this model, but chimed in because you have nothing better to do with your life than hang out on an internet forum to make yourself feel useful. Wow. I know up in Maine some folks still think the Earth is flat, coming from a state lead by Janet Mills, but...

Yes it has the option. Its an older person who doesnt remember and I havent seen the boat yet. Where is it, that was the question. Thanks for answering my question with a question. On 228 models its clearly on the transom gunnel. Again, I cant find any pics for the 226 model location, and...

I am considering buying my 5th Grady, a 1999 Seafarer 226, but I cant find any pictures on the interwebs that show where a cockpit shower is located. Havent seen the boat in person yet. Help or pics are great. TIA

Where are you located? I have an older Seafarer that is rated for higher HP than the newer SV2 Hulls, and put a 300 on it with no issues. Motor barely has to work and if I need to get somewhere in a hurry regardless of load I can, which is helpful especially if entering or leaving inlets with...

Cuts just fine with my chop saw amd no it doesnt scratch. Also cleans up easily in case of grime. Get in the truck and drive to look at it. Kind of splitting hairs here. Already explained how well it works. Gave you a solution and you already have made up your mind what you want to do...

Yeah they have it in the exact same dimensions and thickness in the trim isle. Some even with wood pattern.

Ive replaced this on 3 different 1990’s GWs using composite trim from Home depot. All costs less than $100 for the entire boat, looks great, lasr forever amd cheap to replace. Thats what the newer models use anyway.

I have a 1996 248 Voyager, and you guessed it I need new blades. Anyone have advice on where to get the rubber refills. I can probably take an automotive blade and macguyver it to replace the entire bracket, but would rather stay original if possible. Any recommendations on where to find...

affordableboatcushions.com did mine for my 1993 22' tournament. They came out great and were well below the cost of typical upholstery places. And frankly a lot easier to deal with. They have cushion templates for most boats, and I actually sent them my expired bow cushions with which they...

I replaced the existing one since it was original to 1996 and looked worn out. I kept the rest of the existing plumbing (changed a vulcanized water hose was hard as a stone). You can still get the original faucets, which are pretty much the only ones that fit, but they arent many left as they...

I make these custom and have a few in stock right now. Go to ebay at this link to see photos and description. https://www.ebay.com/itm/306107409820?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=FQsjAQFASvW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=FQsjAQFASvW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I just had a post about this for my 1996 Voyager. Those faucets are still available if it is the same one I have, but they are usually sold with a separate pump with switch built into the faucet. The original one just had a knockout cap where the switch would have gone. You can find them as a...

I purchased this boat last year and have been slowly fixing it up. It looks like the windlass on this boat is not original to the boat and was added by somebody. Question - did this boat originally have an anchor locker, and if so, was there a flip open cover for it. My boat looks like...
