Absolutely agree. I think only the most biased of people would say Gradys are "the best". I think you're right in your assessment that for its ENTIRE intended purpose that a walk may be better than a CC. The hulls are the exact same, walk vs CC but the walk offers more protection from the elements.

Ahh, I knew this would push a few buttons! Being a beamier boat and having a less dramatic dead rise than the C,J,R, the Grady will definately have less roll but it will run slower. Thats the trade-off. More dead rise, 24 degree, and less beam= rolling boat

M-120's on 228 Seafarer. Nice.

I'm a Grady enthusiast through and through but a Grady vs a Contender, Jupiter,Regulator? Really? Put it this way, how many Grady's do you see on the SKA? The Gradys definately add the touches to make it more family-friendly. The C, J, R, are pure fishing machines.

yes. 4800 is way too low. You'll save the price of the hub kit in fuel alone. 14x17 (ish) seems to be the right prop for that engine depending on load.

228G w/ 250 SWS II 2 stroke and does the exact same thing. It's the design of the boat.

my 2nd guess was the floats.

nice...but that boat should be pushing 40 easily all day long.

you can also pick how you want your speed displayed. Speed over ground, SOG -Speed over water, SOW, KNOTS & MPH

I think, by design, it has to be full. Doesn't it screw onto an open ended filter? (That plastic clear bowl is re-usable)

Sounds like you have a potential fuel/carb problem. 1st, replace the plugs w/ a new set. Go to a marine store and they will look them up for you. I'd also add some Startron. If you have to choke it to get it to run, your having "fuel starvation". Check all the male/female connections to make...

10 mic. is fine but your engine "shutting off"-Is it coughing and stalling out? Also engine M/M/Y

IF YOU'RE SEPARATING WATER OUT, YOUR FILTER IS ACTUALLY WORKING. THAT'S WHATS NICE ABOUT THE BOWL, YOU CAN KEEP BLEEDING THE WATER OFF. W/ THE AMOUNT OF WATER YOU'RE DESCRIBING, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S MORE THAN JUST CONDENSATION & E10. JUST KEEP DOING IT UNTIL YOU GET STRAIGHT FUEL-AND RUN W/ EXTRA...

Yeah, CJ- got some 4 stroke work on a 2 stroke engine. Sounds like he just went down a check list. Gotta make sure I change my coolant! (???) Sorry I didn't mention it but bring the batteries in for the winter! You can also do the blue tarp for covering but can be a PITA.

I roll it up and stick it under the porch. I live in a wooded secluded area so I take some liberties by just leaving the frame "out". A custom cover is good for keeping debris out but can't sustain the weight of snow/collected rain. Outboards by design are self-draining (all the anti-freeze...

One thing I do not recommend is trickle charging your battery. At the end of the season, put a full charge on them. If you want, mid-winter charge them up again and then before you splash spike them up again. Trickle chargers, especially all winter long, are bad for batteries. That price seems...

either a graphic designer-they did my boat name in Grady script- or an e-bay type place on line. I've seen decals on line before. Do a google search.

What are your numbers now?

If you only cleaned the p/r valve, replace it. The rubber fatigues loosing its elasticity. Also, if you can borrow a temp gun, aim it at the thermostats and see what the temp is on both sides when it buzzes and what the temp of the block is. You mentioned you replaced the water pump...
