No, nothing is left in the hull. The part on the outside came out with my hand. The issue is, the barb (where the hose clamp goes) is still in the hose. Broke off flush with the end of the hose because the plastic was super brittle. And the part left in the hose isnt brittle, because it got no...

Not at all a bad lifespan. the stainless ones I am putting in should work better though! The part still in the hull was only the outside of the hull. The cracks are right at the fiberglass, so when it broke the nut came off with the hose. Then the rest disintegrated. I am gonna get after the...

Noticed a bunch of above water through hulls are cracked on my 93 226. Reached in through the access port, and it snapped off with little effort. Now the barb of the through hull is broke off inside the hose. Hose drains the livewell. Not interested in taking it out of the livewell, because I...

Halfhitch, Thanks for the concern! Have been cruising Georgian Bay and the great lakes since before I was born, and had many a harrowing trip back from wherever it was we were. Boat was a 36 cigarette for most of it, and had times when even in that we had no business being where were. This was...

Just trying to figure out picture posting!

The wife is wanting to get me a go pro for Christmas to record various shenanigans. Might be able to arrange that the next time!

Had a crazy blow Friday night. My spot on the bay has 70 miles of fetch, and depending on who measured we had fifty mph sustained for a good bit. Decided to take out the new (to me) seafarer 226 and give it a go. The wind was ripping the tops of the waves off in the gusts, lots of wind damage on...

And that's always a possibility, that it is worse than expected. I'll start by drilling some holes and see how widespread it really is. If it's bigger than expected, then larger fix could certainly be required. I re did A bass boat years ago. Split it and lifted the liner off of the hull. All...

Hello all, Was poking around my new to me 1993 seafarer. On the main stringer, about the middle of the front compartment even with the helm seats is about a dinner plate or slightly larger wet spot. Actually, one on both sides. Sounding with a hammer, and visually you can notice a different...

Thank you. Sent!

When I click the link, it says the page cannot be displayed. Is there an issue with it, or is it on my end for some reason?

Thanks, the previous owner had a piece of outdoor style carpet in the cabin floor, but i looked under that, and looked under the toilet. Ill check later in case I missed it, but that would be tough to do. I wouldnt put it past myself though.

ill second that in my new to me 226. I am 6' 2" also, and do fit. The wife is small, so all is good. Seems like enough room for the dog also. To those thinking about it, think backpacking tent, not kind size bed.

As far as i Know there is no difference between the 226 and the 228 in terms of cabin size right? I think that my 226 cabin would be better if I was a bit shorter, but will work fine regardless as I have a few inches of room above my head and below my feet.

Thats what I am saying. I have been all over that area and I cannot lay eyes on the front bilge. Cant even feel it.. I feel silly, but I cant find one. I hope this is me being silly and I am missing something, but cant find it. I can see the bilge hose disappear down into the bilge through...

Ky, it appears mine is missing the pry out access. I saw those tubes. I'll check for plugs.

Thanks doc. Appreciate the info. I haven't had the boat in any rough stuff yet. Someone said there was an access hatch to get at the forward bilge. I can't find squat. When I look in the forward compartment all I see is the flat surface the auxiliary fuel tank would sit on, and right at the...

This is a 93. Where would the plug be, if mine has it?

A plug under forward compartment? Just spent a half hr poking around. There is standing water, about an inch, under the forward compartment ahead of the fuel tank, I can see water down the drain in the cabin floor, and the same amount of water in the rear bilge. Try as I might I cannot find...
