Not to derail this thread but I believe the exhaust issue on those earlier Yamaha’s was from lack of corrosion resistance in the mid engine casing applied from the factory. I would hope that the replacement parts would have the anti corrosion issue solved.

Sounds awesome, Desolation Sound is on my list of places to go. We prawned on the back side of Twin Islands a few years ago but never ventured further in. We do live in paradise, thanks for reluctantly sharing.

Hi Trapper, you have my curiosity, where is this?

I recently adding this Bimini to my Seafarer to cover the back seats when raining/misting, a more permanent solution but no moving parts. Should keep the wife and guests more comfortable and happy when fishing

Awesome!

The bigger question might be, what was going through the minds of the designers/architects at Grady to bracket those early models? Were they attempting to improve/test the SV2 hull with a bracket or was it an easy transition to a bracket from the 227 Seafarer model without the inboard ie fill in...

I agree with all comments so far and did stuff the bow for the first time into a 4-6 ft wave going around Cape Sutil on Northern Vancouver Island last year. I definitely didn’t have the motor trimmed up enough, lesson learned. First time I’ve seen green water through the windshield of any boat...

Hey Trapper, my total length on the Road Runner trailer is almost 32ft which is why my shop is 36 feet deep minus the 2x6 walls. Drop by one day if you would like to take a look.

I have the 1999 Seafarer which is comparable in weight to your 24 Offshore. My DF250 Suzuki launches my Seafarer out of the water, I can’t say enough good things about that engine. I was a Yamaha guy for over 20 years and just happened to get a low hour Suzuki, both brands are great motors. That...

On my Seafarer, I use my wiper when ever it’s raining or windy, I really would like 2 wipers so my co-pilot can look for logs as well. I always look through the windshield while sitting down , I only stand when docking to expand my view.

I use the Mr Clean magic erasers on my seats and floor on my Seafarer, just don’t soak the eraser and it cleans quite well, just a little bit of scrubbing seems to work on moist stains but not the really heavy rust stains

I’m getting a rear facing Bimini installed soon similar to the one in the picture. We fish on north and west Vancouver Island so it can be misty, rainy weather. Another improvement I could suggest to Grady White designers is to extend the hardtop to cover the back facing seats to keep people...

Wow a V8 in a 250, must be an incredible amount of torque and power, my Suzuki DF250 is a 3.6l V6 and I thought it had lots of torque.

Here is a picture of my DF250 Suzuki 30 inch shaft, it just touches the water

Premier helm chairs at Pompanette.com are the chairs I would like but they are pricey

I have a 2012 Suzuki DF250 on my 1999 228 Seafarer and couldn’t imagine having anything smaller, it’s a perfect match in my opinion.

I keep my front and side curtains on all year long and in all weather but I fish mid Vancouver Island to the northern tip all year just to keep dry and out of the wind. I have only stuffed the bow once going slow around Cape Sutil in about 8 ft standing waves, gets exciting looking at water when...

Awesome craftsmanship and patience to work in tight spaces

I replaced those exact same sliders on my 1999 228 Seafarer with Garelick /Eez-In seat slide system and they are awesome as mine were worn out, very easy to install as they fit perfectly

Well correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t see how that flip down door on the port side of the new 281 would work when tied to a dock, the dock would have to be very low for that door not to hit. Look at my signature picture for example of my 228 tied to the dock. I realize they are different...
