    Thinking about air ride seats for my 228

    I had an 85 Seafarer it was a good but it did give the body a beating in choppy waters. I have had a chance to ride on my nephews Seafarer that has the SV hull and there is an incredible improvement from what I remember of 85 Seafarer hull. The 85 is till running strong with a new owner. Is you...

    272 Sailfish re power

    I had a GW dealer tell me that it was not necessarily a weight issue (may be in some cases) but from an engineering POV, it was the amount of thrust, particularly from the 4 strokes. As some said earlier the f225 are a very good match for that boat with plenty of power.

    You could run the wire down the pipe attached to the overhead box to the lower box. Lower box - follow wires to the wall behind the aft cabin(should be an access panel in the aft berth). This is the area where your head holding tank, macerator and fresh water pump are installed . From there...

    Battery Recommendation and DYI installation

    I get 5 years with AGM - as stated above wire those each terminal group of wires and the job is much easier. if you don't one wire is always sure to slide down in back and then when you find something not working it a not so fun project figuring out where the missing wire is hiding!

    Sunglasses

    Maui Jim for my choice - expensive but great customer service - send them to maui Jim for new lenses and in a very few days they are back fully restores with lens and arms as good as new - flat fee covers the repair. Tough to beat theeir visual performance .

    Sailfish 255 Vent Window Wanted

    Went through this search a few year ago. I just removed the other vent and brought it to a glass shop. The shop sent the template of the window out to a supplier that does tempered glass and 5 day later back in business - not cheap around 125 buck as I recall but it fit perfectly.
