    2002 228 Seafarer With Armstrong Bracket

    Um, I love the bracket and full width swim platform and fully enclosed stern/transom. everyone has an opinion I suppose of what an improvement is on the boat. lol. To the OP you can pull the live well and see the other side of the transom and feel around there if you are concerned about the...

    anchor/anger management

    Do you have a windlass ? if no, what kind of anchor or style do you use? the rode or chain section of the rode should be at about half your boat length or more. Chain helps keep the anchor down and the force parallel to the bottom to help set the anchor. I bought an aluminum fortress anchor...

    Added a second spare

    I count myself fortunate. I am getting ready to go back to the Keys for a 2 Week adventure next week. I went back and forth on ordering my trailer with one or two spares. I ordered with one then decided to get a second. Called Owens and voila it appeared like magic . Now I have two spares and...

    No top end power

    In a way I would think you would hope the problem pops up on the other motor by doing this. One, it narrows the issue down and two, one would think it would be an easier and more affordable fix . it would be easier in my opinion to swap on the downstream end of the primer bulb too. Good luck I...

    Stupid thread but here it is

    For starters we all bought a boat that the transom is about to fall off. we all paid too much for a mid tier two piece boat and we are all googans. Misery loves company. This is the general vocal sentiment of Grady White over there . lol. I find the internet a fascinating place of human...

    No top end power

    How old are the fuel lines? I have never had twins in my life. Are there two pick ups ,one for each motor? I would assume right ? maybe it's in the tank where the pick up has some debris in it? Seasick is spot on ,it sounds very much a fuel starvation issue.

    What is this and how serious is it?

    That crack in the glass could also be from clunking a battery hard in there . That could be an impact kind of thing..They wrap the brace with glass and that stuff can flex and break . I am trying imagine how that could happen . I keep coming back to something hitting it and the logical thing...

    More prop talk Seafarer 228

    That is my goal. The 4 strokes are optimized to run at 6,000 RPM. Motor height is critical in getting optimum performance. I love the low end and mid range performance of the 4 blade over my 3 blade props. With the 228 and the bracket, it's my experience you get better low end performance...

    19' Tournament

    The only real issue would be the joint between the cap and hull at the motor well. Grady finished it off with sealant and an aluminum angle strip. That joint can flex and over time the sealant can break away and the area becomes a source for water intrusion. if the boat is cared for and water...

    Grady192 or Scout 202

    Cabel,. so, you already bought the Scout? If you did I suppose you could try a two for 1 deal..Sell both and search for a 208. or even 226 228 . I think you're 192 is SeaVee2 hull. it makes a difference in ride. But, yes, 4 stroke f150 is about twice as fuel efficient as the Evirude. I...

    Glacier, you got to pop the top and put a socket on the nuts . I investigated this and was going to do the work myself . Wife was not happy at thought of me possibly dropping my motor . lol. you really need to detach the entire thing from the backet and then liberally put silicone or 4200...

    I have used the ramp near Three Sisters Creek and the St. John's River area. it was a few years ago but there were some big boats there. it could be the same ramp you mentioned.

    Grady192 or Scout 202

    Sea Trial the boat . Sea Trial the Boat.Sea Trial the boat. I have read on THTthat Scout makes a decent boat but they are light . There is a saying there is no replacement for displacement. I have not ridden a Scout but I have owned a 192. For a 19 footer the 192 is a solid boat. Its heavy...

    Grady hit by whale in Rhode Island

    Well I have a roll of flex seal tape on the boat and toilet wax ring too. Either way, it will buff out. I wonder how whale collided with the boat ? I saw pictures earlier today. I need to read the story.
