After a long but enjoyable process the detailing is finally completed. Compounding, with areas of wet sanding has bought back to original gelcoat colour. Replaced all decals and hullstripes. The ceramic coat has given it a great gloss and hopefully long term protection, considering the boat is...

I have both. I often fish solo. PLB on me in case I go overboard. EPIRB in in ditch bag.

I know your pain. Same issue with my 228. Haven’t worked out a solution yet.

NO! NO! NO! That's not how you do it. You buy the boat you spend what you need to keep the boat. You never work out the annual cost of ownership. That will leave you in a deep, deep depression. If you are foolish enough to work it out never, never tell your partner.

Is that the 98 Bimini top for $91,990? Good luck with that.

After a bit of back and forth with Grady, this what I think is needed.

I am going to add a cleat for the anchor rope. The 232 has one factory fitted but not the 228.

That’s Grady’s price.

If you have a bow pulpit, do you use your Skene Bow Chocks? They are about AUD$90 a pair. I'm not sure I would use them.

I’m waiting on a quote for the above will let you know. I would expect your price to be cheaper than mine in Australia.

Did they say what sort of fiberglass work is needed? Is $3700 fitted as the Bow Pulpit + U Bow Rail + 2 x Stanchions come to about USD$1700. Even with the Hardware Kit, Bow Roller, Chock Skenes and Stanchion Bases I can't see that getting anywhere near $3700. 10-557 Tubing 7/8” OD x 16 Ga...

“Luckydude“ got the info directly from Grady White and the 228 is no longer listed on the Grady White website.

Bit the bullet and just ordered mine through the local Grady dealer. Coming in July with the next shipment of boats. Saves paying for the horrendous freight charges. In Australian dollars 07-165 @ $1853.00ea U-rail @ $250.00ea 2 x Stanchion @ $44.00ea

Ditch bag x 3. Everything all together.

With the discontinuation of the 228 does anybody know from past experience how long parts will be available? I have plans to add a bow pulpit to my 228 but I was going to wait until after an electronics upgrade, autopilot and auxiliary fuel tank. May be I should be moving the pulpit up the...

I like it. Add a couple of seatbelts and you have the perfect solution for those rough days when you need more weight forward.

Bronze wool. Like steel wool but any pieces that fall off won’t rust.

If you are transporting live bait any distance you need some water circulation to keep them alive. I’m wondering how the water is getting into the bilge from the live bait tank. Under the transom seats? Will check it out next time I’m at the boat.
