    My 1999 228g has wood trim problems

    Thanks a lot I’ve never worked on the wood on the boat if that sounds bad, I’ve always taken great care of it but haven’t done anything with the wood the only thing that’s holding up is the cabin door and that’s all dry and cracked, everything is structural sound and every time I go offshore...

    Grady white took some hard hits

    Ok, thanks I’m not very inexperienced but it just caught me off guard and shit my pants. But it sounds like everything should be fine. From what I could see at the dock everything was fine, no water was running in, nothing seems abnormal.

    Bracket leaking bad

    About 2 months ago I took out the bracket drain plug on my 1990 228g and a crap tone of water came out and it rode like a dream it felt like my Yamaha 200 was a 225. But it was sitting on a dry stack for a week and in the water for a day and then it feels like the bracket is full of water again...
