    222 ride quality

    Yes trim tabs are a must. If it is a newer model they were standard I think.

    Engine Failure - 2005 Yamaha F250

    200 hours since last service? I change my LU oil when I change my engine oil at 100 hours. No chance of an insurance claim due to it being a failed seal. They won't cover mechanical failures. Glad it was not the power head.

    222 ride quality

    The 222 will do fine in that chop. I had an 07' and it was a nice ride. Much heavier than that sea Pro. Will be night and day difference IMO.

    222 fisherman vs 225 Tournament

    Walleye Bill this one is in my wheel house. I have owned both in the past two years. A 2007 222 Fisherman and a 2006 225 Tournament both with Yamaha F250s. The 225 Tournament rides better.

    skeg repair.....what is the best option?

    You may not have enough skeg left to get the skeg guard to adhere properly. Take it to a prop shop they can weld a new skeg on.

    Took the 225 Tournament out for a pre season shake down

    I have some new pics of it running in the Gulf I will post soon. I can't tell you how pleased I am with this boat. It has exceeded my expectations. I know it is the same hull as my 2007 222 Fisherman I had but something about the bracket and the weight distribution makes it ride better. Over the...

    Anybody seen or got pics of the new Grady Hull colors?

    Was on the Grady website poking around and saw the new choices of hull colors. Wondered if anybody has one yet. Really hate to see them to go this actually. Something about that classic off white gelcoat that I love.

    How much do you tip a dock hand when docking or getting gas?

    At my marina they help tie me up and hand me the pump. They get me a barrel of ice as well so I tip $5. Usually $10 for getting me frozen bait and the ice. Like others have said attitude is everything. Ofcourse it dose not hurt that they are usually cute girls in tight shorts. 8)
