    228 - making it water tight?

    If I lived on the west coast I would meet up for sure. Maybe someone in nj with a drone would do that would be cool

    228 - making it water tight?

    Idk about bone dry. That’s kinda a stretch. The rear cup holders drain into the bilge and the under gunwhale rod holders are open to the bilge. The cabin drain goes straight to the bilge too. Water also can get in the rope notch and into the top area and then into bilge.

    228 - making it water tight?

    Post some pics! Love to see a 2020 seafarer and congrats. Also I just got my 2005 and trying to work on the same thing when I get time here and there. I haven’t used the storage behind the seats for anything but deflated tubes and bumpers for the day. They go back in the dock box when I get...

    Windlass Installation

    I have a 2005 seafarer with the windlass on the pulpit. Now it’s a shallow drop into the anchor locker. Newer models the windlass is on the rope locker door. I found 8 plait rope to work best. Also cut down the inside bow eye down so rope can slide passed it and tie the end to a 2x or something...

    New guy here with a few questions about a 228 Seafarer

    The hull truth guys say the 225 is more like 208 prop power where as the 250 is more like 260. Take it for what it’s worth but they just have to be within 10% of the rated hood advertised power and the 225 is essentially a 200 with emm changes.

    New guy here with a few questions about a 228 Seafarer

    Yeah the 250 3.3L has variable cams and makes a huge difference in midrange torque. Test drive the two to feel it. Makes for better water sports or heavy fishing loads better. Lol just more power always better.

    New guy here with a few questions about a 228 Seafarer

    Lol my original boat I was looking for was a 2005+ 282. Then plans changed and got a seafarer. Don’t get hung up on the features and all what you want because most likely in five years you are going to get 2’itis and want something bigger lol.

    New guy here with a few questions about a 228 Seafarer

    Well 2002 and up is when they came with four strokes. If older and repowered then most likely hull has a lot of hours. Skip top mean hard top? If you prefer the hard top then best bet is to look for one with it. From what I have read it cost a lot to have one made. 2001 and up seafarer has the...

    New guy here with a few questions about a 228 Seafarer

    Yeah what you are looking for is usually in the very high 20’s if not 30k+. And if you go four stroke I would personally recommend a 250.

    Anyone used one of these?

    Sounds like water in fuel if both going off at same time. Take a fuel sample from the tank. Bet it’s crap gas u got a tank full of after sitting so long.
