I do what you do..

Auto Pilot, Garmin 1242xvs, & Burnewiin Rod Holders and accessories.

Looks Great!

Give them a call and talk to them. They are priced higher, but the product is amazing. I thought the same as you, then was fishing on a boat that was outfitted with a few years back. After that summer, I was sold. They have great options for just about everything you need for ones boat...

I was able to use all the holes except 2 of the mounting screws I had to drill. I did not add a plate to the under side, I called grady and they said it is plenty strong. They are really clean looking and the rod holder and downrigger holders work really well. They are also much strong than...

I replaced my rod holders with Burnewiin ones and they offer a downrigger mount that is super clean and removable. They are located in WA and have very solid functional products. Here's a link https://burnewiin.com/collections/bases-adapters Check their stuff out, a huge improvement over...

Are you trailering it home or having it shipped, assuming everything checks out?

What type of sprayer did you use as well, looks amazing....

If you go to youtube and search Garmin Marine Webinars, several useful videos will pop up. Here are 3 good ones to start with.

I have Burnewiin mounts on my 228. They have a down rigger adaptor that is perfect and you just use your rod gunnel mounts. Check them out, nicest I have seen yet.

I thought I was the one and only, apparently not...

I own a 228 and fish regularly on a 258. The cabin space is not that much bigger than the 228, a few inches wider and about 6" longer. Not a lot of creature comforts on a 258, but it is a good day cruiser.

Pictures?

I think you got lucky having a full survey. The water line marks at the stern would have me concerned. You will find one, you just have to be patient...

Nope, you are not wrong. The 4 blade is an improvement in all seas, but you have to know what you are after.

I have a 2000 seafarer 228 with a 2001 225hp ox66, and I am running the PT 15.25 x 16 4 blade prop and I love it. I have can stay on a plane at 15-17 mph playing the throttle if I need to. I chose the prop for the mid range control in less than desirable conditions on the Oregon coast. I took...

You should check out Burnewiin rod holder and downrigger mounts. They are amazing products and they keep you gunwale super clean. I have them on my 228 and could not be happier, and congrats on your new boat.

Looks like a Pooderbuilt one. I have mounted to the swim step and it works great. PDR Marine http://www.pooderbuilt.com
