The canvas works but it would be better to have a starboard piece that hinged away or fit in a slot. The canvas is a pain to deal with.

I answered your pm, no I don't have rope chafing but after looking at the picture my motor is bracket mounted so it may be slightly different. I would go to the dealer and confirm the length. They are relatively expensive also. I am in the mountains right now so I can't check but my recollection...

I have on on a tournament 225 it works great.

I just went through this on two boats, mine and the one that I am buying. In addition to the GW I have been running a 38 convertible that was built by a local boat builder 10 years ago. The surveyor was a 67 year old man that has been in the business for almost 50 years both on build side and...

I am in negotiations to buy a Fleming 55 trawler, it currently has a 13.5' Nouverina rib. I am giving up a competant 38' sport fisher that has been my primary fishing boat except when I am alone (when I use the 225t). I boat primarily in Puget Sound but would anticpate going north fairly far on...

I have an 08 225 tournament with 250 yamaha plus 9.9 kicker. The scuppers are below the water but the floor drains are generally dry, even with several 200 lb guys working the lines. I would buy some sandbags to simulate the weight and see how it looks. FWIW I jokingly asked about putting a new...

I wax both of mine once in the spring and once in the fall. The 225 stays on a lift from Feb to Nov and the Lindell is in the water 12 months per year. I always clean them or get the salt off after every use. My 38' looks very good 10 years later and the Grady still looks like new. I use 3m...

I have a T225 and it has the F-250 and a 9.9 on the back. It may be a northwest thing to have a "kicker" but we spend lots of time trolling for salmon at 2 knots or so and it is common to have a trolling moter here to keep the hours on the big motor down. It also is a little bit of safety if you...

I am currently struggling with this. How do you defeat the breaker?

Best milage I get with 2008 Tournament 225 with Yamaha 250 is just above 3 mpg.

If you are doing mostly recreation boating I would recommend the Tournament series, much more flexible for adding folks on a nice summer day to your cruise or water sports activities. If you are doing offshore fishing the cuddy or walk around do have some decent advantages. I have several...

I have owned Sea Ray 185 Dual Console, BW 20' Outrage (CC) and 225 Tournament as well as 38' Convertible. The 225 is a very useful boat as I am sure the 19 and 20 GW DC's are. The 225 has the length and weight to ride in most anything Puget Sound has to offer and still is a reasonable cruising/...

I have a t225 with 250hp four stroke plus 9.9 kicker. Runs well, top speed around 48. Most of my running however is around 30. I think either engine is fine.

Gauges GW replaced both of mine in an 08 T225 under warrantee. They were not accurate and had LED elements missing

Ed, you will enjoy your T 225. Best runabout I have ever owned. Your top end will probably exceed 50 MPH and the scuppers will be well clear of the water! My T225 is an 08 with a 250 and a 9.9 kicker so I can see the water in the floor drains but just below the floor. Good all around boat, I...
