    Grady white 228g soft spot

    I also don’t have very much money and was wondering about the whole boat in general because I have noticed that it likes to sink down in the back on a full tank but I have put that to the heavy motor and I don’t know much about what a core is I’m hoping it’s just the hatch is rotten the bilge...

    Grady white 228g soft spot

    I have a 1990 Grady white 228g and at some point the previous owner put a single 80 gallon tank in it, the boat originally came with two tanks, on the floor in the middle of the back of the boat there is a huge hatch I think it was for the other fuel tank but nothing is in it now and the hatch...

    The trailer is aluminum and is like new it’s a 2004 I think but it has good brakes they just have a problem with them that they don’t engage I am probably going to take it to my buddy he does a lot of work on cars so I’m thinking he might be able to get something done

    Towing a 1990 seafarer 228g

    I’m talking about low gear on the tranny it locks it in 1st and I have a lot more low end torque and I’m probably going to get the trailer brakes fixed I can tow it without breaks but without a boat on the trailer

    Towing a 1990 seafarer 228g

    I meant no working brakes on the trailer the dry weigh on the boat is 3000 so I think I should be fine I also have a low gear on the truck if I need more power out of it, it has a 4.7 liter v8 in it so should work

    Re Power

    I personally think I would go Yamaha I have a 1990 seafarer 228g with a 2003 Yamaha 4 stroke 200 they seem to be worth the bigger price I’ve rode on boats that have has outboards from Johnson’s to yamahas and yamahas are my fave in my opinion

    A couple questions about a 228 Seafarer...

    I have a v1 hull 228g with a 2003 Yamaha 4 stroke on it, but a 200 will get you around with some power leftover. I've ran with 6 people on it and 80 gallons in the tank and it got up, fine no problems with a 200hp.
