    Kicker on 228??

    I have the same pooderbuilt bracket on my swim step, with the same motor. There are zero issues with 25" shaft hi-thrust. I opted not to put the bracket on under my swim step after talking with the pooderbuilt guy several times. He said if I was going to be towing with the kicker on...

    EPIRB's

    I would buy it again, it was priced well and it is stocked well with supplies. I'm sure it would be a bit of a struggle to get in, but hopefully we will never need to find out. You might vacuum pack some clothing items and keep it in your ditch bag as opposed to messing with the life raft.

    EPIRB's

    Lucky, Here is the life raft I have Ocean Safety Standard Offshore 4 Person Liferaft- Valise Packed. I purchased it at BOE Marine. I stow it where the porta potty goes to help keep it out of the way, but very accessible. I only bring the porta potty when the kids are on board, otherwise I...

    EPIRB's

    If you go off shore at all, it would be wise to have all your safety precautions. I fish in close for rockfish and as far as 60 miles off the beach in Oregon in my 228. If you go down and you do not have an PLB or EPIRB you are going to be tough to find. That being said, I carry a life raft...

    On my friends 258 with twin yamaha 150's, top speed loaded was 42 mph according to the gps. I have no clue on how it compares to the 232.

    Gulfstream vs 258 for fishing?

    Not bigger than the 232, longer deck space on the 228 than the 258 but 6” narrower.

    Gulfstream vs 258 for fishing?

    I own a 228 but regularly fish on the 258. The 258 is a great boat a rides really well in most conditions. I have only been on a gulf stream once, and it is big for the size. I will say the deck space is adequate on the 258 but the deck space on my 228 seems bigger. Either way you can not...

    polish and wax

    I used the Buff Magic Compound followed by the Pro Polish Wax. I used the Makita 9237 7" polisher with the makita pads for applying the compound and wax. Super easy to use, hard to mess up your gelcoat and a great end result. I used 1 bottle of wax for my 228 and have some compound left over.
