    Combing Bolsters on 2003 SeaFarer 228

    Thanks so much. Let me know the new phone number and if you could give me his name that would be great. I went through all those junk yards last week and the roads there are like a 3rd world country. Lou

    Seafarer

    I also have a 2003 Grady 228 and love the boat. It is definitely butt heavy and the main gas tank should be glassed in as far forward as possible instead of where Grady normally puts it.. The aux gas tank could go behind it but I think if 90 gallons of fuel can't get you where you want to go...

    Yami 4 stroke question

    Actually the 225 or 250 is what I would be interested in. I have the old 225 4S weighing in at 685 I think. Any idea what the new ones weigh?

    Oil Warning Alarm while trolling

    Sounds like oil pump is not moving enough oil or low pressure at idle. Could also be the sensor. Obviously check it out and report back.

    Rub Rail Help

    I worked on my rub rail and it came out better than great. I used Vinyl Lux solvent #355. You really have to work it in, not just wipe it down.

    Seafarer Scuppers

    I have an 03 228 225HP 4/S with the exact same issues. I'm not sure but I believe that Grady put the main fuel tank as far forward as it can go and decided to eliminate the aux fuel tank for more current year model. My local fiberglass yard quoted my $2,600 to move my 92 gallon tank forward. I...
