Look at the picture below, my boat is the older version but the same layout. Some came with plumbing for raw water, mine didn't. I have to plug the drain and fill it with a bucket. The switch is on the helm, on the panel under the control. I'll take a picture of mine tomorrow so you can see the...

What I do with the fresh water tank is drain it until the tank is no longer suplying water to the pump. Then I pour a gallon of antifreze in the tank and run th pump again until the antifreeze comes out. That way there is antifreeze in the tank, pump, lines and faucet. I dont have an outside...

I'd go with the seafarer, larger cabin. Also would consider only 93 and up, the SeaV2 hull does make a big difference. I am partial to outboard models because they allow for more space in the cockpit which translates to more comfortable fishing and/or riding IMO. Hart top would be a must for me...

Subscribed, I am trying to educate myself on the Gulf Stream because I want to upgrade to one in a year or so. I didn't think you could hang so much power off that transom. What is the max hp and weight rating on them? I always thought even 6' waves would be a bit much for a 22-23' boat. I've...

13-6 for most States. How tall of a bracket are you looking to install? I have a 4" 4 degree aft bracket that I like a lot and I believe I stayed just under 12' Disregard the ridiculous size of my dome, I found a great deal on the combo that I couldn't pass and went for it thinking it wouldn't...

Trailering a boat is a pain regardless of size. I have had it with my 226, I may still live it on the trailer (dry storage)where I only have to move it 30 feet to and from the ramp but honestly, I am thinking rack for next season. Call ahead 7 am to 5 PM unlimited in and out (outside rack) for...

I too am dying to see pictures and/or a video of this boat going 55 mph, 4 pages of tug of wars and not a single picture. Not fair :wink: Open up a photobucket or Dropbox accounts, copy the direct image link and paste it directly on the post. So easy a caveman can do it :)

I agree 100% on the ss washers, however I wouldn't countersink a pan head. I am waiting on a pack of #10 tamper proof pan head screws to replace the ones I used to fit the panel the first time. Hard to see on your pic, not the best quality so is hard to magnify, but your screws don't seem to be...

Thanks, just got the radome base today so it looks like I'll be able to try this thing at least once before winterizing the boat :dance The aluminum post is just a wire/cable chase, as you said, it connects the O/H electronics box with the glove box. Very convenient for my particular case.

Yes, they will be easier to read that's in the glove box, however, the combination I have wouldn't fit in my glove box anyhow. I went to the boat today to test fit the pice. I had to do a little more filing and saving to fit it but got it done. I also routed all the new cables and wires for the...

I know it has been done plenty of times, just wanted to share my excitement on this little mod I am doing in my seafarer. Because mine is an older model, and all I have seen posted here is newer models I figure this may help someone along the way. Please note I had to compromise and cut the...

PS. I will be fishing tomorrow so I'll take a couple of pics.

Thank you all. Hood call on the need for the breakaway need, I was thinking of get ring a ss hasp of some kind but now I know why it has the design it has. Ill contact a GW dealer, dint know they had parts for these old boats

Don't know what the correct name is, but the folding door for the motor well has a broken latch out of the 2. When in rough waters, the door slams down and it scares the living lights out of my wife and kids. I need to get it fixed before they stop going out fishing with me, and I need to...

Thanks, The motor has had the same mechanic for the last 5 years, not close by, about an hr ride from me so I know I have him as an option. Also I was very surprised and pleased to meet a young mechanic in his 30's maybe who was dropping off my neighbors wave runners a week ago and he came over...

I am curious as to what the height of the hitch is and if your truck has a lift kit on it and if so how much? The more you lift the tongue of the trailer the more weight you transfer to the rear of it (of course you know that but I have to be a wise guy and say it ;) ) I had an '06 quad cab...

For the price difference vs space difference I'd include the seafarer in your list. I don't know what your budget is or what the prices are in the WC. I can tell you I paid $9,000 for my 226 with 483 hrs on both the hull and the motor (225 2 stroke) and that included a 2008 galvanized roller...

WOT yes, I am hoping I get many years of trouble free use out of the motor. I have no desire what so ever for a new motor... and neither does my wallet. I'll sell it to ya, you won't have to be jealous no mo! :mrgreen:
