Freddy makes an awesome point. 2 foot-itis sets in really fast. I would suggest at least looking at the 228. Add a disco ball & you've got a dance floor. you won't be disappointed.

What do you consider a 'good amount'? gallons? A little 'standing' water can be normal-but your pump should not be cycling on & off. I had what i would consider a good amount of water in my bilge last year after many years of a dry bilge b/c of some topside work. still cannot find the souce.

Met a guy last summer who repowered a 228 w/ a 225 E-tec and he could not stop raving about it. Had absolutely nothing bad to say about the weight, performance, scups etc. It will be my next engine.

Same thing happened to me a couple years ago w/ the gypsy moths. Black little spots ALL over the boat. Use Krazy Clean and let the boat sit in the sun. The spots won't disappear before your eyes but they will be gone in a day or so.

West/BW (quick!) have replacement non-skid in a variety of colors.

I'm a fan of Yacht Brite and try/using a Miracle cloth for the metal. the things are awesome.

Thank you and God Bless. Safe travels.

Ouch. That's truely terrible news. As a long time former BW employee, I am saddened that the whole Ritz entity is dissolving. David Ritz loved Ritz camera which has been a family business since his grandfather opened his 1st store.

The sad thing is is that BW was actually profitable. It is being sacrificed to salvage Ritz camera. Now you know why your CC statement sometimes said Ritz Camera on it. West is licking their overpriced chops.

I mounted 3" mini box speakers on the dash tucked back by the windshield to compliment 6.5" rear speakers. They are far enough away to not cause interference w/ the compass and with your hard top and enclosure should produce ample sound. They are plenty loud for my 228 w/o a top, IMHO. Posted...

I would pass, no question. 105-125 is too much of a PSI difference. there are too many boats in this market to take the financial risk. It would be one thing if the boat was filthy, you can look past that in your offer but the engines are the life of your boat.

228 every day of the week and twice on Sunday. It is Sunday, right? so...go buy a boat! :wink: If you plan to do an overnight, the 228 has a "more spacious" cuddy. Not the Ritz by any stretch but you won't feel like you slept in a box. Also, with the enclosed transom and centerline livewell...

correct-'92 on the Seafarer, '93 on the Gulf.

Basically on the seaV2 hull there are no flat spots making for a softer and dryer re-entry. As simple as I can put it.

I had the same concern about the gas fill/fuel neck. I was assured not to worry about it. I love the JBL's. Great sound-totally waterproof. Run a bead of silicon around the speaker b/4 mounting. Need a 6" hole saw to cut out for mounting (uses the same chuck and fits onto your standard drill)...

check my post under 208 stereo install-pics.

I, too, swap them out mid season. After spinning on I simply squeeze the bulb until hard.

sounds better than 'going to buff my cowling' or 'have someone buff my cowling for me' . That one may get you in trouble w/ the mrs's.
