All hatches, insulated ice boxes are above the waterline so they can drain directly overboard instead of into the bilge where the water needd to be pumped out. No fishy smelling bilge and keeps it dry.

If the mountings bolts are far enough apart you could get brackets fabricated to fit around the hardtop tubing. This is how I mounted mine. They are anodised aluminium. Still need to trim the bolts.

They are Lee's OH277T bases. They don't make them anymore. I have a set on my boat.

Another angle.

Really recommend a survey. A little money spent now could save big bucks in the future.

The 228 for the full height transom and central live bait tank.

Great spot for a day trip. I usually launch from Spinnaker Sound on Bribie Island. What fish do you chase?

It’s a nice looking boat. I like the helm design with increased area for flush mounting electronics. No more folding transom well. Without motors it’s only 225lb more than the 208 with 5” more beam and longer. I would miss the overhead electronics box and the centrally mounted live bait well of...

Prices for used 228s here in Australia have increased significantly since the 228 was discontinued.

You would probably need a radar arch. Then you could mount the rocket launcher. See link. http://www.fishwrecked.com/forum/custom-radar-arch

Yep, that would be my greatest fear. Dinged a couple of props over the years. Not too expensive to get them repaired. These things though…$$$ if possible at all.

Have to agree. Yamaha aren’t going to support a product without doing their own research. Interesting to see if Yamaha’s performance figures are similar to Sharrow Marine’s. Wondering if prices will drop with Yamaha is doing the manufacturing.

Thay aren't a one size fits all, as the design of the cabin has changed over the years. I would contact Grady and find out what year range of hardtops will fit your boat.

My normal ramp (90% of the time) has a fairly shallow angle so that should be fine. On steeper ramps where the stern floats quite a bit I may have to drop the roller.

They are Megaware Scuffbuster "Bow Guard" and "XL Bow Guard."

Not yet.

The mounting is just the 4 x 10mm diameter bolts. They come with very substantial washers. See photo. Access was through the anchor well door. There was also a cartridge of 5200 supplied. I used the entire tube under the pulpit. The cleat is bolted through the pulpit and the bow with large...

Finally found time to install the new bow pulpit on my 228. The pulpit is for a 228 ( made of coosa board these days) but I took it to a fibreglass shop to get a slot cut to take a 232 thru-pulpit bow roller and fill the groove where the 228 bow roller goes. Very happy with the job they did...

New bow pulpit, not mounted on the boat yet. The 2 cracks are from thumb pressure on a section of gelcoat that hadn’t bonded to the fibreglass. Disappointing. QC does seem to be an issue.
