I wouldn’t be to keen to drill 3 holes in the skeg and use stainless bolts to bolt on more stainless to the aluminium. Especially if it is a saltwater boat.The wings look likely to grab an obstruction and twist the motor while the skeg alone would bounce over it. It may stop damage from direct...

Another vote for Imar.

Same product but different formulations. Usually one for paint and gel coat, one for glass, one for vinyl and one for fabric, The misconception many people have is that Is maintenance free. I ceramic coated my boat but am just a diligent with cleaning after use as when I was waxing it. If you...

Coming from owning boats without trim tabs. I use the motor most of the time for bow up down. I Use trim tabs mainly to correct lean caused by wind. If heading into short chop I may use the tabs to get the bow down. Tabs usually all the way up in a following sea.

That does seem low. I recently did a cold compression test on my 2006 F250 with 1450 hrs. 5 cylinders were 175 psi and one was 170 psi. Have always run Yamaha Ringfree in the fuel. You might want to try a Ringfree shock treatment to see if the low values are due to carbon buildup.

I have a 2006 F250TXR and there are differences between the 2006 and 2007.

Ditto.

Spray where you are applying the stripes with soapy water. This will allow you to reposition the stripes if necessary.

Very good info on the “Boatworks Today” YouTube Channel.

Here are the plans for the 56 gallon auxiliary tank.

All hatches, insulated ice boxes are above the waterline so they can drain directly overboard instead of into the bilge where the water needd to be pumped out. No fishy smelling bilge and keeps it dry.

If the mountings bolts are far enough apart you could get brackets fabricated to fit around the hardtop tubing. This is how I mounted mine. They are anodised aluminium. Still need to trim the bolts.

They are Lee's OH277T bases. They don't make them anymore. I have a set on my boat.

Another angle.

Really recommend a survey. A little money spent now could save big bucks in the future.

The 228 for the full height transom and central live bait tank.

Great spot for a day trip. I usually launch from Spinnaker Sound on Bribie Island. What fish do you chase?

It’s a nice looking boat. I like the helm design with increased area for flush mounting electronics. No more folding transom well. Without motors it’s only 225lb more than the 208 with 5” more beam and longer. I would miss the overhead electronics box and the centrally mounted live bait well of...

Prices for used 228s here in Australia have increased significantly since the 228 was discontinued.

You would probably need a radar arch. Then you could mount the rocket launcher. See link. http://www.fishwrecked.com/forum/custom-radar-arch
