I would buy it again, it was priced well and it is stocked well with supplies. I'm sure it would be a bit of a struggle to get in, but hopefully we will never need to find out. You might vacuum pack some clothing items and keep it in your ditch bag as opposed to messing with the life raft.

Lucky, Here is the life raft I have Ocean Safety Standard Offshore 4 Person Liferaft- Valise Packed. I purchased it at BOE Marine. I stow it where the porta potty goes to help keep it out of the way, but very accessible. I only bring the porta potty when the kids are on board, otherwise I...

If you go off shore at all, it would be wise to have all your safety precautions. I fish in close for rockfish and as far as 60 miles off the beach in Oregon in my 228. If you go down and you do not have an PLB or EPIRB you are going to be tough to find. That being said, I carry a life raft...

Yep, never allowed on my boat.

I have almost a 1000 hours on mine and it has been nothing but great. I see around 1.7 mpg loaded and I she goes another 1000 hours.

I installed the same unit on my 228. I put installed it on a Scanstrut 6" Aluminum Powertower F/2kw & 4kw Raymarine, Garmin & Navico

On my friends 258 with twin yamaha 150's, top speed loaded was 42 mph according to the gps. I have no clue on how it compares to the 232.

Not bigger than the 232, longer deck space on the 228 than the 258 but 6” narrower.

I wonder if your fiberglass person still has the mold? I’m sure he could sell several, I would love to get one. Looks great

I own a 228 but regularly fish on the 258. The 258 is a great boat a rides really well in most conditions. I have only been on a gulf stream once, and it is big for the size. I will say the deck space is adequate on the 258 but the deck space on my 228 seems bigger. Either way you can not...

I used the Buff Magic Compound followed by the Pro Polish Wax. I used the Makita 9237 7" polisher with the makita pads for applying the compound and wax. Super easy to use, hard to mess up your gelcoat and a great end result. I used 1 bottle of wax for my 228 and have some compound left over.

I used the Shurhold system and it worked fantastic. I did not used their buffer as I already own a makita.

My boat has burnewiin on it and you can install their mounts, I have 2 of their mounts on the stern. Installation was a pain, but I have them there if I need.

What one did you get? Thanks

I have a 1999 228 with a hardtop and a pulpit, and my boat has a ox66 225hp and it is plenty of power. I usually fish offshore with 3 guys and we have put over 30 albacore on the boat with around 300 lbs of ice and all the gear and 145 gallons of fuel and the boat has no problem getting on...

I had something very similar to what you are having on the same exact motor. Everything worked fine on #2 but the engine would not fire. I ended up replacing my battery switch and all is good now. Never figured out what the problem was but for me replacing the switch worked. Good Luck

KY, I am wondering if you would not mind sharing how much the 228 enclosure cost? Thanks, Brad

Get a set of Burnewiin's, you can mount them and the rod holder itself can be stowed while not in use.

I mounted mine on the port side as it seemed to balance the boat better.
