    Another prop post + performance question. 2005 Seafarer 228 with F225

    2006 Seafarer 2006 F250. SWS2 15.5x 17 I think. Top speed 41-42mph. Easily planes at 20mph. Max revs 5500-5600. When you say it won't stay on the plane under 20mph is this flat water? If things are at bit lumpy at 20mph especially in a following sea you will find it is falling off the plane as...

    **Removing sealer like Poli Glow

    PoliStrip is most probably the best option then. Even if it isn’t PoliGlow there is a good chance it will remove whatever it is.

    06 Hull Striping - where to find?

    There was a hold-up on the ultra gold. Stripes were sent the day after the ultra gold arrived. There are specific widths of striping so you need to work with that. What I ordered was so close you wouldn’t notice the difference. They use 3M and Avery vinyl. USD $95 per 50ft roll of premium vinyl.

    **Removing sealer like Poli Glow

    Compounding (cutting) should remove any sealant.

    So that’s what that pipe is for.

    Cover for Fresh Water Shower

    If you are after the stainless steel cap google Scandvik 12153. I got mine through Essen Bay Marine eBay store for $39.95. Don’t have one listed at the moment. It is listed as a new design and you may need to enlarge the hole in the transom. I upgraded from a plastic cap and had to make the hole...

    It's official - 228 is no more :-(

    I suppose it shouldn’t be a surprise. If you Google Grady White you get “Grady White Dual and Centre Console Saltwater Fishing Boats”. Over here in Oz the 228 is the largest Grady you can tow without a wide load permit and all the restrictions that come with it. I’m glad I got mine when I did...

    Rhodan on a 226 Seafarer

    Have been thinking along the same lines of a GPS anchor and deep dropping with electric reels. Running 5x12v batteries on a Seafarer. Are you needing to top up the charge from shore power or is the motor enough?

    Trailer options for a GW 228 Seafarer

    I went with aluminium Loadrite bunk trailer. Kodiak s/s brakes on both axles. Torsion axles. Vortex hubs. Radial tyres. Alloy rims. Led lights. Dual spares. Made the mistake of not going s/s hardware. Here in Australia galvanised hardware is standard which is fine. My trailer has a random mix...

    First started thinking of importing a Grady back in 2010 when the Aussie dollar was at parity with the USD. But didn’t have the money for a newer boat with a 4 stroke. Frequent visitor to the site back then. Then the AUD dropped. Finally joined in 2015. Gave up trying to find something here in...

    Bait Rigging Table

    Done. Late model used LCs are going for more than new over here. The much loved V8 is going extinct. All remaining stock of 200 series have been sold and no date as yet for the new 300 series. So people are going a little crazy.

    Bait Rigging Table

    Yes. Saw the video. That boat is for sale for AUD $239,000. https://www.boatsales.com.au/boats/details/2019-grady-white-seafarer-228/OAG-AD-19573727/?Cr=4

    Bait Rigging Table

    I like a solid one. If it is a rough day I lean against it watching the lures/baits.

    That's the AUD $5000 one.

    228 Hard top

    Unless you can find someone with a 2003 I would be to contact Grady to find out what years the design changed. I can give you measurements from my 2006 but there is no guarantee my design is the same. What measurements do you want. Distances between the mounting feet?

    GW Decals?

    I don’t think you will have much luck with Grady as they no longer have any decals or hullstripes for my 2006 228.

    No Water from Pee Hole, 1994 Yamaha 200 2s

    On my F250 it won’t pee with muffs which feed both sides. Will only pee in a tub if the water level is higher than the water pump. Don’t know if relevant to your motor.

    Fuel bladder

    I didn't think about putting one up there. Out of the way. Weight forward and should gravity feed to the fuel tanks.
