Looks great and it seems like you are doing it right. Make sure to take a look at all of your thru-hull fittings and check hoses for any potential leaks or cracks. Enjoy an I look forward to seeing the progress you make in the future. Cheers

I just ran it around the main bar below the rod holders. I would pull a 3 person tube with 3 teenagers on it regularly, you have to be careful with the tube wanting to catch air when tied to the hard top. I would wakeboard myself and I'm 180ish and never had any problems. I do like the idea...

I have pulled many wake boarders and tubes from the hardtop on my 228. Never had any problems, and you could not feel any flex in the frame when someone made a hard turn.

Can you explain this further? I did mine this past spring and mine didn't look like this. No screw, and the hole was not offset, just curious

I went with a Garmin 1242xsv, garmin 175hw tranducer, raymarine ev150 auto pilot. I could be happier with how everything works together.

Regardless of which brand you go with, you will have to recess it into the seat box. I ended up going with the seaspension, Ian was wonderful to work with. I ended up going with the 4485, it will stick 8.5" above the box. I was playing with the chair height and being up a bit higher was...

Definitely something to be aware of. I am hoping to be able to do both seats if all goes well. Thanks

Yes, it is just shy of 16". I will be able to recess the mount almost 7.5" and that will just about 8.5" to the top of the mount. It is 2" taller than my current seat position, but I like the line of site better and steering will be just fine.

Ideally it would be less than 10”. If I go with shox or seaspenion, it should be attainable. I can recess up to 7 1/4” into the storage compartment.

Thanks, I will look him up.

Thanks, I saw this one. This is definitely an option I will call on next week. Much appreciated

I am wondering if anyone has put a suspension seat on their 228? There are plenty to chose from, however the achilles heal seems to be there are not that many with a short seat mast. Everything I find puts me 2-4" higher that the OEM seat. Just wondering if anyone has found a solution? This...

I would love to see a picture of your setup. Thanks

Lucky, I put the Raymarine on because it had great reviews and is a simple solid AP. If you need the safe route navigation, garmin is a good choice. I fish on a boat regularly that has garmin AP and it has the all the bells and whistles and it is great and very functional. Interesting you...

Lucky, I put the Raymarine EV150 on my 228 and have been loving it. The only thing I wish is that I did it sooner. No problems integrating it with my Garmin gps. You will not be disappointed if you go that direction.

Congrats! I look forward to seeing you on the water. I regularly fish out out Illwaco & Garibaldi.

Like others have said, use a heat gun and remove the letters or stripe. Then wipe down with acetone, I did mine this spring and it turned out great. I ordered a new logo and striping from the dealer and my 2000 looks new.

No it is a continuous piece. I would put it back by the stern cleat area, I'm sure that would be fine with a backing plate.

I run this same setup on my 228 and love it. I have the GM650 with a backing plate made out of G10 board for additional strength. I use Pac Pro puller for crab here in Oregon without any issues. If you have any questions you can always give them a shout, the owners are incredibly...

Well done, now you need to get out and chase some albacore. There would be some trailering involved but you would enjoy a trip to Westport. We put 33 albacore on my 228 out of Garibaldi 2 days ago. Good work and glad you are getting after the salmon.
