    Grady actually recommends using plastic to better match the hull. Did they tell you that? :huh

    Is this enough trailer?

    Assuming your boat actually weighs 5500# (no way to know unless actually weighed): - Do the numbers work? Yes, if you're comfortable with a 10% margin. - Yes - Yes - OK Bottom line, you don't know what the boat weighs. Maybe you have a 15% margin under max gross weight, and maybe you only have...

    Flotation

    If the news report is correct and the boat did indeed sink, the basic flotation didn't function as designed. Am I missing something? :uhm I believe upright, level flotation is only required on 20' and smaller, don't know what Grady with their larger boats. Or something like that ...

    Power for a 22' Seafarer

    The Minimum recommendation for power *in 1993* was 200 HP. Might want to re-check, what I'm seeing (Grady brochures) is 280 both years. I have a earlier Tournament 22 of similar weight, with a 225 Honda. It is NOT too much horsepower ...

    Attacked by Grady White bashers

    I trim the motor for max RPM under conditions, then drop tabs for the ride, if needed at all. I did some comparisons and on my 22' the engine trim is what affects GPH the most. The vent plate (and the prop shaft underneath) is gonna be pretty much parallel to the water at cruise no matter what...

    Bimini Bracket Frozen on Adventure 208

    Get a small 'easy-out', drill the bracket screws and remove. Unless the brackets are stainless (zamac is about worthless, nylon is pretty weak), that's what I would replace with. That, and some preventive maintenance ... :wink:

    How do i access my rear bilge pump on 1992 seafarer?

    With or without a gas tank, there will be a solid bulkhead blocking access to the bilge. I replaced the pump in my T-22 (I can barely reach the hull, too) using a long handled screw driver, and a long claw pick-up for retrieving/placing stuff. When ready to reinstall, super glue the screws to...

    1992 seafarer - frozen /broke seacock lever

    This isn't my set-up, but the only picture I have of the valve. I had a similar placard made at a trophy shop and mounted it on the cockpit side of the same bulkhead showing orientation of handle position to function. Also had one made for the battery switch, which is on the starboard side...

    1992 seafarer - frozen /broke seacock lever

    I broke my valve also, ordered a replacement and it was so tight it was just a matter of time until it went. I re-plumbed my washdown/baitwell to include this Groco bronze valve. Mounted mine on the interior bulkhead just under the port hatch lip, similar to this. Handle works in a horizontal...

    Trailer choices ( old question I guess )

    Make sure the numbers you quote are actual capacity and not maximum gross weight trailer rating, one is actual load capacity and one includes the weight of the trailer (about 1K #). Your 228 is gonna gross out near 5k ... :wink:
