I had a 89 19' tournament with a johnson 150. The boat had pleanty of power. i think that a 120 would be a litlte under powered. I have a friend with a 21 striper walk around and he has a 120 on his and that boat is slow, he has to run wide open all the time...
Good Luck,

I love my 228. I have been on a 226 many times and both boats ride the same. It takes a little getting use to to backing the boat up with the bracket. I like the idea of the closed transom and the live well. The 226 fresh water hose is on the port gunnel mid section. On the 228 it is on the rear...
They should just close the season and put the party boats and bait shops that rely on the fluke season out of business.
Whats NJ limits??? Same as last year. Same waters......

My boat is in the water from April to Nov. I painted my transducer with bottom paint, and it was as clean as the day it went in. And it always worked without a problem.
Hope this helps.

We went to the show last Saturday. It was a light crowd. My brother went on Sunday and said the same thing. Not crowed at all. I spoke with one Grady Dealer who i had bought my boat from and he said that as of Dec they only had 4 customers that ordered boats. Not sure which models.
Times are...
It was a sad day today. The boat was shrink wrapped this afternoon. I had a moment of silence after it was done. I will be on my cousins boat for the next few weeks until he has to pull his for the winter.
Next year can't come fast enough.

I fished in the tournament today with two buddys. We managed 1 Blue for our efforts.
A Kudos to all the gang at Spellmans for putting on the torney, The Kismet Inn, and Fishin Mission for donating their time and products.
See you next year.

That sounded like a real nice trip. But the Admiral said no way in our 228. Not her cup of tea. Maybe one day we will have that Marlin.
Until then our day trips will just have to do.

I used a product called ZEP mildew remover. I bought it from Home Depot. I cleaned the zippers on my Blue Canvas and they came out like new. I sprayed it on and let it sit a few minutes. Then i used a toothbrush on it. I then hosed it off. The mildew was gone and the color did not run.
Total...
I own a 228 and have been on a 226. To me the ride is the same. I like the closed transom of the 228 compared to the 226.
I also like the live well of the 228. The 228 is longer because of the bracket, but the cockpit is the same.
Good Luck,
Lenny
I bought ZEP Mildew remover from home depot. I mixed with equal amounts of water in a spray bottle. Spray it on and let it sit for a few minutes, use a brush to scrub lightly and rinse off. If it doesnt come off the first time do it again. The whole process took about 15 minutes. The cushions...
When i opened up the boat this year i found the port toe rail cracked right across the screw hole. :( I contacted Grady and they said that they dont warranty the part and i would have to contact a grady dealer to get the rail replaced.
Has anybody had the same problem? and if so how did you...
