For years I bought stainless steel pliers and yes, they still only last a season at the most before they start rusting and corroding. Most of the time, as mentioned above, they're the cheaper 304 stainless steel and don't last long at all when exposed to saltwater. Titanium I've heard work...

The title of the post says the boat is a 2006 GW 228 Seafarer, which only comes with a single outboard, I imagine it's likely a single F225-F250. As stated above, if the boat is wired up similarly to mine, it should have two Group 24 batteries on the port side rear of the boat underneath the...

I believe he's looking for recommendations as to what batteries he should replace his current ones with. To the OP, if your current setup works for you as is, I'd just replace the old ones with the same size/style of new ones. I bought my boat back in October of 2021, ran the batteries that came...

I was going to say, I thought that Port of Egypt had a pretty good reputation. Glad to hear that they told you about the issue over the phone before you made the drive out there to see it in person.

$25k for a boat that needs a new outboard, has very old electronics, no radar and doesn't come with a trailer? Yikes. Also kind of odd that they don't mention anything about the outboard on the Boat Trader posting or on their website. The only things that the listing talk about are essentially...

What happened with the 2004 in NY that I linked before?

I will say that if you do repower, Suzuki/Mercury are usually always the less expensive options when compared to something like Yamaha. Looking at the Yamaha price list, an F250 with digital controls start at $30k a piece, whereas the Suzuki is over $10k less at just under $20k. Sometimes you...

Good looking boat. Always nice seeing another Puget Sound Grady White owner. Only 10 messages on here since 2006 though? :oops:

If my math is correct, I went out around 15 times this season just for fishing. With crabbing and cruising, it's probably slightly more than that at around 20 total. I'm similar though in that I don't have to make long runs or anything like that as I've got a mooring buoy out in front of our...

I'm a numbers guy, and most of the time the numbers have the biggest influence on something for me. How much did you pay for your boat? How much do you think you could sell it for? What would be the difference in price between what you think you could sell your boat for and what you'd spend on...
