Nice job, I just made a lower section out of di-bonded material and 3D printed some custom backers with riv-nut inserts. Also 228, I like yours bette!

I pulled mine out in my 228. The lid comes out easy with 4 screws, then the actual livewell has screws around the top, then you have to reach in where the battery lid is to disconnect 2 hoses the raw water and drain hose those are a little bit of a pain.

Cool, this is exactly what I did but it was a new 250 yamaha. I'm in PNW and sourced my 228 from FL. I really like the boat, best of luch boat hunting if I see something I'll post it up here for you. Be sure to check FB marketplace

Your search on the west coast for a 228 in that price range will be tough. I bought my 228 last year from the East coast for about that and it needed new trailer and repower so I have way more $ into it now, prices were high last year and they are starting to come down a bit but I didn't care...

I totally agree, on my seafarer the gunnel is low. I too also had a north river and these Grady's are low. Fighting salmon in a mixed swell in cold waters is not something to play around with. I'm considering doing the same but most likley will have a fabracator build me something custom that...

sounds like you are after the 232, and if so i'd go twins!

I purchased a new to me 228 and put a brand new trailer under it to transport it from FL to OR. Its been great! I went with a 7K trailer and I think that's the minimum I would go. Ive upgraded the tires to goodyear endurance D1 load rating and its great. I went with surge brakes, but I tow with...

Salmon fishing is great! Head NW find baitfish, downriggers set to 180' - 220' in 320 FOW. I used my own black lure I 3D print paired with a 11" protroll chrome We nailed one first thing in the morning yesterday, then had to hunt around for the baitfish seemed like around 10am the bite came on...

WOW! awesome report I'm setting up to go hunt bluefin. I'm west of Portland, OR and we are thinking of going to Ft. Bragg early Aug. ~ Chris

I've only got 3hrs on the boat but so far the 4 blade is amazing!! can't wait to give it the beans, this weekend I'll get her out in the ocean and put some hours on it.

I'm a yamaha guy plus it's lighter

It's how I like to troll for salmon, especially in the rivers. I plan to order a minkota for the bow soon

I had Maxxum marine do the repower it was the best price and they had motors in stock with fast and professional service too! Total was $28,500 for 250 & 9.9 with new controls/ 2 props/replace seastar rear hoses/new filter. This is for mechanical controlls and the kicker is power tilt/start

Thanks I agree!!
