New style stripes and nameplate.Grady dealer. Matching existing stripes. Hullstripes.com. Matching existing nameplate. Discontinued decals is a good place to start. A hair dryer on hot can help remove stripes depending on how old they are.

My 228 is the first boat I’ve had with trim tabs. I played around with the tabs for a while for bow up and down but went back to using the motor and using the tabs to counter any lean due to cross wind etc.

Google “chain sock”.

2 spares as well.

No new glass or gelcoat. Did it all myself. I machine compounded the gelcoat with areas of wet sanding where oxidization was worst and then ceramic coated it.

Have you checked the fuel lines under the cowling for kinks blockages, etc? Had a similar issue. Was a kinked fuel line coming off the under cowl, fuel/water separating filter.

US$1850 (AUD$2400) is a good price. At that price I wouldn't have done it myself. I was quoted AUD$5500 here is Australia. (Working for an American company make me aware abot how much more labor costs are here.) Doing it myself cost AUD$3300 and now have 3 polishers and other equipment for...

Have a "Fell" ordered. In terms of a lanyard. Something similar to the retractable dog leads may work. No slack, as long as the spring tension doesn't pull the clip on the kill switch.

You watch. Next trip a marlin will decide to rough-up the gelcoat with it’s bill. I know first world problems.

I have both. I often fish solo. PLB on me in case I go overboard. EPIRB in in ditch bag.

I know your pain. Same issue with my 228. Haven’t worked out a solution yet.

NO! NO! NO! That's not how you do it. You buy the boat you spend what you need to keep the boat. You never work out the annual cost of ownership. That will leave you in a deep, deep depression. If you are foolish enough to work it out never, never tell your partner.

Is that the 98 Bimini top for $91,990? Good luck with that.

After a bit of back and forth with Grady, this what I think is needed.

I am going to add a cleat for the anchor rope. The 232 has one factory fitted but not the 228.

That’s Grady’s price.

If you have a bow pulpit, do you use your Skene Bow Chocks? They are about AUD$90 a pair. I'm not sure I would use them.
