    Reply Had a '90 25-5 Sailfish with twin 200's. Ran like a top. Never had an issue but in following seas I never became comfortable with it. Rear end seamed heavy under 25kts. Bought a 20-4 (too small) and after a season went back to my original first boat size 22'. Bought a 22-8 and cannot...

    Water intrusion???? 228 Seafarer

    reply This occurs within 5 minutes of putting the boat in the water at the ramp. No spray from washdown, rough water, or any thing else other than sitting in the water which tends to make me believe it has something to do with the water pick-ups under the boat which run to the wash down and...

    Water intrusion???? 228 Seafarer

    When I pull the boat out of the water it seams to have a lot of water coming out of plug (approx 2-3 gallons). The bilge pumps work but even after being in the water a few days they won't kick on. I can't figure it out if it's excess water from the pumps? It's a 1997 and not sure if it's...

    1988 Grady White 228G

    Pic Nice pic! What do you have for power and how does the boat handle with the kicker. I have a '97 22-8 and thinking of putting on a 9.9fs yamaha but a little concerned about porposing (I do have the trim tabs). The top really completes the fine lines!!!
