When I had my 222 I loved those seats. When I bought the boat new they were a $900 option. That being said I wouldn't have owned the boat without them. I always thought it was a ridiculous price for them though. Without them there is nowhere for passengers to sit as the seat in front of the...

Ok good info and things I will look into, thank you. I have the Yamaha fuel management system which I can't help staring at while running. I did add a t top 3 piece enclosure with wings which I'm sure now probably slowed me down.

Ok guys I recently got a 283 Release with dual F225s. I LOVE this boat but the fuel is killing me. I'm using the hell out of it and trying to keep my speed down, that being said I'm lucky to get 1.4-1.5 mpg. I try to keep it under 4000rpm. Recently I went to MTK twice, 72 miles round trip...

Another cop here. 16 yrs Long Island. I'm gonna need some more overtime to keep fueling my 283 Release. Love love the boat but man she uses some fuel!

Hey fellas. I just got an 04 283 and I need some more music. I have a Fusion head and 2 fusion 6inch speakers mounted just forward of the rod holders on the gunnels. Where else can I mount at least 2 more speakers? Thanks guys.

Ok thanks guys. I always thought if I trimmed the engine way up I would have even less control. I will have to try that. I have had the boat a long time and can deal with it but I always meant to ask why and kept forgetting to post here.

Not sure why I haven't asked before but my 222 with an f250 will not track straight from 0-1500 rpms. The skeg and prop are both fine. Whenever I'm at those speeds I have to turn slightly right and left to try to keep straight. Any thoughts on why this is?

Sorry for the crappy pic. It's stainless just a little blue from the heat.

I hated so badly that if my first mate wanted the foot rest down and I wanted to stand the damn thing banged me in the leg. I finally took it to my welder and had him split it and make a new bracket. $150 later and I have the perfect solution. :praise Why didn't Grady think of this? Wasn't...

I'll help ya here! I can help you with this as I have the boat with the F250 and my best bud has the same boat with the F225. Both boats bought new in 2006. I have to say there is a big difference in the performance and I know he agrees. My top end is 49mph and his is like 43-44. The torque is...
