    new cabin bolsters & LED rope lights

    The bosters screw straight into the fiberglass behind them. The fabric was stapled onto the wood from the backside. I didnt see the screws the first two or three times I looked for them. I actually posted here asking about them because I was having such trouble. They are very hard to find but...

    new cabin bolsters & LED rope lights

    I've been wanting to redo my cabin for a year or so now. I finally found a fabric that I liked for my cushions and bolsters to replace my old ones (they were getting a bit rough). I also added a 14' rope light around the back of the bolsters. I wanted to use spacers and have the lighting between...

    Removing the cabin bolster cushions

    Yes, I was talking about the V bunk cushions on the side. Would my Seafarer have the same cushions as a Marlin? I could swear there werent any screws in the seem down the middle. I'll check again. thanks

    Removing the cabin bolster cushions

    Does anyone know how to remove the bolster cushions in the cabin of a mid 90s 226? I cant find any screws or mounting brackets or anything. Maybe I'm over looking something....

    Hatch screens

    Does anyone know where I could find a velcro hatch screen? Everything I've seen online is a large screen that covers the outside of the hatch or something with mounting hardware. My dad used to have a couple velcro hatch screens on his old Sea ray weekender but I cant find anything like them...

    Remote Control Spotlight

    I bought my 226 used and it already had this installed on the hardtop. Might not be enough candle power for your use but it works well for me. I love having the flood light. I use it more than I thought I would. http://www.marine-electronics-unlimited.com/GUEST+503+Spot-Flood+Light.html

    fuel gauge inop

    Is there any chance that if it is the float it could free up on its own?

    fuel gauge inop

    I have a 1995 226 with a 200 Yamaha with the electronic yamaha gauges. I fueled my boat up Monday and the gauge did not adjust. I have no idea where to start with this problem. Is anyone familiar with these gauges? They are probably a fairly common set up, I had the same throttle and gauge...

    Small LCD tv for cabin

    yeah, I've seen some cheap 19" TV/DVD combos on best buys website. I'm wondering how I could mount it though. All those all brackets are pretty wide, I dont have that kind of room down there.

    Everyone VS Grady-White!

    The anonymity of the internet is the fools disguise. Sometimes its actually fun to read nonsense boards... sometimes it hurts your head. Personally I dont care what people think of my boat. I had the greatest time on the world on it yesterday. I love my Grady.

    STAMAS VS GRADY WHITE

    Yeah, isn’t that the truth! The internet is great for idiot advice givers because there are zero repercussions. I deal with it on a daily basis. “I ordered this because carwizardguy02 said it would fix my car and it didn’t.” Slightly back on topic, I dont know anything about Stamos boats but I...

    Truck for pulling a 228 Seafarrer

    I pulled mine from Northern Michigan to Detroit with my trailblazer SS. A Ram would be better for towing that my truck so I would think a 5.7 RAM would have no problems towing a Seafarer. How far and often are you trailering your boat? I keep mine in the water and only put it on the trailer...
