    Learned some stuff in my 228

    I have been going out the GGB for a long time and still consider myself a weekend warrior when it comes to seas over 3 feet. I would have gone out this weekend but my 228 has to get the bottom painted and it's time for an engine service. I have turned around times when the seas look lousy. On...

    Another COVID-19 Boat/Trailer Pick up thread

    I bought my beast ('04 228) about six years ago. The boat was towed from NY to Northern Ca by two guys with their pick-up truck. Used a reputable towing company. Never used the trailer again and its been stored for $100 a month. I need to get rid of the trailer but spend more time going...
