1994 Seafarer 228G Also updated the boat model type in my signature.

Switching from 2 stroke to a 4 stroke so no longer need my oil reserve tank. However, the tank is too large to come out no matter the orientation and have even tried it without covers. I assume they put it in when the livewell was out but I don't want to go down that rabbit hole. Any suggestions...

Have a 1994 Grady White Seafarer 228g that has a 2006 Mercury 200XL but it recently died. I'm repowering with a new Yamaha F250 and considering mounting it myself to save money. Is the motor mount of my grady standardardized so I can just bolt on my new Yamaha or is it possible I'll need to...

That would be a good location but I will have to think about if I want my batteries in the same area as the gas tank with poential fumes and sparks. Thinking they are seperate for a reason and it's all one big empty space just forward of the 93g tank but you make good points and I appreciate the...

That's a brilliant idea, thanks for the suggestion! Really didn't want to move the scupper and livewell drain because I'd probably have to remove the livewell to get back there. As long as I choose the right gauge of wire and secure the batteries I think moving them forward should be fine. I'll...

Don't feel like you're stepping over the line with suggestions I apprecaite your thoughts. I still haven't made a choice on new/used motor vs new boat but learning towards new/used engine route. Have put hundreds of hours of work into it to get it just he way I want and pretty happy with how she...

Great question. I bought the boat for $17k and have added $7k in upgrades all of which I installed including a radar arch, satellite GPS, Furuno 12kW open array radar, Garmin plotter and sonar, and radio. When I started seeing new motor costs and installment of $30K+ I started getting a bit shy...

Talked to Grady...they said the only real differences with newer hulls started in 2002 with moving the scuppers and livewell drain up 1.25". Ideally I'd like to use a suzuki 250 (~606 lbs) but my current Merc motor weighs 517lbs and the scuppers are 3/4 under water and get barncle growth in them...

Also curious as to what year your hull is

What year is your hull?

Appreciate the advice. My 200XL Merc on my boat now is 517lbs and scuppers have been fine. The newest 225 Merc is 475lbs which is pretty neat. On the other hand the merc 300 is 527lbs so 75 more HP and only 10lbs more than my current engine. Yahaha is about 551lbs and no weight numbers include...

After doing more research I'm steering away from the rebuilt engine since it has so many hours on it and was done by a group that has a ton of unhappy customer on the THT forums.

Appreciate all the replies, lot ot consider and will need to read through all the posts at lease two times. Would apprecaite some advice on the following: 1) Is switching from a Mercury to a different brand more work/cost for whoever is installing it? Do different motor have different hole...

My 2006 optimax 200XL engine with only 620 hours has a bad power head and it's time to repower my 1996 Seafarer 228G. Looking through the Grady pamflet it looks like a new engine has to meeting the following specs: Max HP: 280HP O/B Shaft Length: 25" I was happy with the 200HP engine on there...

Where would I find a part number or replacement cable gland for the stern of my 1996 Grady White Seafarer 228G? Cables are running to engine.
