    To upgrade engines or Not to upgrade this is the question!

    May be worth it if the price is right. They are 16 year old motors and as such, may start having issues anytime. You know the condition of the current ones you have, albeit burn fuel/oil. On the upside, upgrading to 4S will start easy and better efficiency when it is working correctly. I...

    228 is a beauty

    I know you asked about 228, but thought I'd give my overall length on trailer for $hits and grins. I was so surprised how long it is, engines down. I am hoping to get to a storage yard closer to the ocean and had to tape out the overall length. I have a Gulfstream 232 and is 33'-10". My...

    Compromised photo

    I found one that supposedly will enhance the pixelation. It is called HitPaw.net. I found it searching for an app I think was called Pixel that I saw on TV.

    Seacock extension handle / remote operation arm length

    I have one of these in both boats. I like it as it won't rust or ding the deck if dropped as it is heavy wall pipe. $20-ish so more than notching a pipe, but doesn't break the bank either.

    Outboard motor fllush bag

    I have one of these as well, for about 6 months. Seems to work well, it fits my Yamaha 200hp. I have twins and flush one at a time. Although it was a bit pricey, the only other option I consedered was a 150 gallon plastic rubbermaid tub (like from Tractor Supply). I was going to the 150gal...

    Used Yamaha Model 704 Twin Binnacle and Guages

    The guages are from a 2004 Gulfstream 232. I added a few more pictures. The guages work and not faded (at least from the way I can see).

    2004 Gulfstream port-aft window leak

    It seems my port-aft window leaks after washdown or rain. I feel that it is the gasket where the 'glass' contacts it. The window is openable. I'd like to find the gasket and replace it, before I consider resetting the window in the hull. Any idea what it is? I will call Grady at some point...

    2001 repower

    FYI. I repowered my Gulfstream in 2019 from two F200 V6's to two F200's I4's. The I4's are lighter and seem to push the Gulfstream well.

    232 vs 228?

    I like my GW Gulfstream 232. I moved up from a GW Adventure 208. I notice a big difference, not sure you'd see the same difference from your 228. I think the heavier boat helps in the chop. It has taken me some 'getting used to' stuff to dial it in. I fish along SoCal coast and have found...

    2007 Furuno GP-1650WF GPS

    I have a 2004 Furuno 1850, and when I bought the boat it was in New Jersey. I wanted to get the card for Southern California. I bought a used one on ebay for less than $100 and it works great. The 'back up' battery that the unit uses to keep all the user input waypoints went bad. I talked...

    Used Yamaha Model 704 Twin Binnacle and Guages

    I recently replaced the Yamaha twin 704 binnacle and guages on my boat. (2) tachs, a fuel management guage, and speed/battery guage. Everything was working when it was taken out. Contact Len ljp3lcf@gmail.com if interested. $300 for all.

    Yamaha 704 twin binnacle, Guages

    I recently replaced the Yamaha twin 704 binnacle and guages. Instead of trashing them, thought I'd see if anyone is interested. The guages work, and the two shifters work as well. I replaced it along with the rigging warness underfloor from engines. I had a gremlin that was popping the...

    New to me Adventure 208

    You will like that boat. I had one for 15 years (have a 232 now). It is a tough boat and always got us back, even in some nasty conditions on the Pacific Ocean. Like Sdfish said, I wouldn't be too concerned on WOT speed, I think you'd find it is plenty fast.

    Trailer Rebuild

    Same in So California. I looked at a lot of boats and ended up buying one in New Jersey and had a new trailer put together in NJ as well. The $4500 trailer in NJ would have been $7000 and up in So Cal. I hope I didn't just jinx the good luck I've had with it so far (including the 2800 miles...

    1978 Hatteras 204-C Restoration

    Sorry, can't help but thanks for sharing the cool pictures of a vintage GW. I always like a 'lapstrake' looking hull. Good like with the restore.

    2019 Yamaha 200HP Blows Main/PTT 20amp fuse intermittently

    Update. After putting 30 hours, the fuse has not blown. I am a bit superstitious and don't want to jinx anything :), but so far so good!

    Windlass anchor rope “rode” tangling/jam fix?

    I have a 3-button version. It is a Lewmar remote. Works well for my situation.

    Replace Porti Potty with Marine head and 10 gal holding tank, Gulfstream

    I don't have a plumbing diagram or anything like that. However, attached is a snipet from a doc I have that might provide a lead to get what you are looking for. It is a parts doc that indicates the part numbers for the 'optional head'. 28-123 Head - Portable 28-091 Head - Portable w/Deck...
