The octagonal landing would be my choice. Either replace bench on left and sit on dock box or place it to the right as you come down steps.

Looking good.

Don't let them talk you out of the FBW. It's fantastic. I didn't go electronic steering, kept it SeaStar hydraulic. Maybe he's sitting on a mechanical F250 and wants to off load it onto you. I questioned the FBW throttle/shift longevity with my dealer in Charleston before I ordered mine and...

Biggest question I would have is, do you plan to keep your boat at least 3-5 more years or do you have the itch to go newer? If you're going to keep it, then consider new motor in the 250 range. Grady's are fairly heavy for their size and more HP is always a good thing. Don't have to use it all...

The vinyl has worn out or the backing? I had A&J replace my vinyl a couple of years ago and it turned out just like factory.

Your buddy is correct. Goodyear Endurance is the way to go. Have them on all my trailers.

Yup,,, very good possibility. Change out all hoses and drain/clean tank to get all the particles sloshing around in there out.

Black and slimy feeling? Could be the inside of fuel fill hose deteriorating from ethanol. As you fuel up, you're washing the deterioration into the tank and the pickup is sucking it up. How old is the boat? But if it's bigger chunks, very well could be silicone as you thought. Ethanol...

I agree with the IMAR. Mine still look great. I'm 7 years in with mine.

FamilyAffair, I would reach out to A&J Canvas and speak with Lee, she can tell you your options that they can do for you. She owns A&J and they are the supplier for Grady-White enclosures. Like Smoky, they made me a set of enclosures for my 228 and I had the option of Stamoid or Sunbrella type...

No website, but here's the contact. Ask for Lee.

Just spoke with Lee. They are still in business. Must have been another A&J somewhere else.

Clamshell behind dash also on my 2004 228. I relocated it from behind panel under helm when I repowered and my FBW buss needed to occupy the space.

Like SkunkBoat said, Boats do not make economic sense from the get go. If you like the boat, and are comfortable with the boat, repower. If you're considering a move, then part company with it as is. Resale will be lower with the Rude's, but getting out from under it will be the plus. I...

That's impressive!!! Nice work.

Trailer has a temp tag on it so it's probably not included, just something to set boat on. With no overall description, probably some issues with either boat components and/or, one or both motors. Almost like an as is price. Norfolk Marine is legit, but there is something missing about this...

Finally got her outside the shed and cleaned up. New switch panel is sweet! Thanks to New Wire Marine, down in my happy place, Charleston SC!

And that you'll be well outside your HP rating in the event you are involved in boating accident,,, it'll all be on you.

I have to give a shout out to Pro-Dec and these screw covers. I took a chance and ordered 20 of them for my side panels and they are as close to a spot on match as I've seen. I've tried the covers with separate bases like originals and never found a good match not to mention half the time the...
