That is exactly what I have with a waterproof zipper. Works great and leave it on if going on a lengthy trip.

John, there is a product called easy EZ strip all purpose remover that might be worth a try. Our low VOC Eco-friendly formulas clean up with just water providing The Safer Option for coating removal.

Consider installing a zipper in the centre about 2/3 of the way up from the floor. Had it done on mine making quick access tp the helm to put things under cover or retrieve something without undoing the the whole cover. Also for boat camping allows you to cover up the helm and cabin door...

Thanks John for the kind invite! Never been to Florida but what an opportunity. With the CD against the USD it gets a little too heavy for my pocket. Was thinking you just might bring your 228 up my way for a sea trial in the pristine waters off Vancouver Island. You would be welcome in my...

Good for you John, With the price of boats today you did well. Does not look that dirty from the pic. I have been wanting to upgrade from my 208 for years, but finding one for a good price is getting more difficult, especially in my corner of the country. Good luck and enjoy!!

Yes I have the same as Don, with a 1/4 inch aluminium backing plate under the gunnels.

Yes, this subject has been thrashed over time and I have been guilty of participating in the past. But......why in the Yamaha Engine specs for the 4 strokes they say WOT 5000 to 6000 rpms? Yet we seem to insist that in order to avoid engine damage we must be up around the 6000 rpm WOT. I am...

Thanks seasick, I will arrive!......eventually

Sorry guys, was practising getting pics onto the site. Which I did manage, then tried everything to remove the image just so I could. It looks like I did not quite complete the process. Having difficulty getting more than one pic at a time . Would like to post more pics so I am working on that...

seasick, sorry I was not clear. I purchased them some years ago and my note was just a reference of where they are available.

Ordered a set from Jacobsens Marine in Edmonds Washington. r

Regarding a kicker connection to the main. Easy to make... get appropriate length of "ss ready rod". Purchase the ball joint ends and connectors at any boat dealer. You will need a piece of stainless or aluminium angle to extend the angle of the rod on the kicker, so the connecting rod will...

I have an F 200 xb on my 208, after recently installing a 4 blade prop I raised the the motor to the last hole and works well in the conditions I float in. Not sure how it would respond in a big lump. May find out over the next few months.

Ruddyhair, just to be clear. The cabins on the 228 and 208 are the same but with the 228 you get a longer deck and a heavier boat, which will probably handle the lumps a little better. I have owned my 208 for 10 years and for what we do it is a perfect fit. Mostly just my wife and I, fishing...

I believe I mentioned this before,. I installed the Seaworthy scupper flaps on my 208 but only on the splash well drains (scuppers). They are flush a mount, so will not work on the stern deck scuppers. They appear to be doing the job, but so far do not get much salt water exposure being...

Mustang, apart from being "Great Grady Hunter.com", you must be fast on the keyboard. It would take me a good part of a morning to type out your valued responses to some of us who are of the slow fingered persuasion. But I never had a problem with my thought process keeping up with the...

It is beauty fish hunter, love the hull colour! Is the raised portion at the bow a raised cover? Could you post more pics of the interior. Do not get a chance to see too many new Gradys here on the island.

Not clear on what the issue is your dealer is referring to. The two control arms? do not touch each other with plenty of space between them to clearly operate either with no interference. I had never thought of it being cumbersome or otherwise, as they are distinctly two different controls...

Definitely a do it yourself, Reattach existing cables to the main and then push new cables through to the stern for the the kicker. Cut a bigger hole for the 2nd set of cables. Make sure your kicker cables are long enough so there is no pinching at the kicker placement. Also remote ignition...
