    Outriggers for a 228

    I have searched the forum and found much great info on outriggers for a 228. I would like to know, however, if anyone has outriggers that mount in the gunwale rod holders. I do not want to drill more holes in my boat. I was told that someone makes an outrigger holder that mounts in the...

    rear scuppers

    I have a 2006 228 and have noticed since new, water dripping down from the aft scuppers into the bilge. When the boat was purchased (as a new boat from a Grady dealer) I noticed it on the sea trial, so the dealer pulled the hoses off of the thru-hull fittings, gooped em up, and then put them...

    towing question

    I'm almost there. I have decided on a used Seafarer 228 but need to buy a truck. I really want the least truck I need to tow this boat to the ramp and for service, both of which are a mile from my home. I have my eye on a Ford F150 SuperCab 2 wheel drive with the small 4.6 liter eight cyl...

    Adventure or Seafarer

    I will hopefully be purchasing a Grady White cuddy cabin for a family boat. We have two small children (one girl and one boy). I have visited the showroom and walked around on both the 208 and the 226/228. Is the 208 large enough for family trips and fishing, just the two boys? Can anyone...
