    Power Assist Installed on 228 w/F250

    I've been making changes to my 228 I bought last November and finally have it pretty much where I want it. The last item was the Sea Star Power Assist Unit and WOW!! It's definitely not a requirement for a boat this size and it is expensive but my wife has shown interest in going out like I...

    want general advice on 22 seafarer

    I juuuust bought an 08' 228 last month so may know where you're at in trying to understand the terms, etc.. I'll tell you this, after only a few trips out since bringing her home, I understand why many folks do not buy anything else but a Grady after owning one. Mine is the 228 with Yamaha...
