I am also wanting to upgrade the old GPS/Finder. The one that came with the boat reminds me of an old 1980's video game but works until the sales come back this fall. I have been using my iPad with the Navionics Boating app to get by and really like it. I just need to get a waterproof case...

glacierbaze Anything is possible. I do like using that tray under the plexi to store small items though. leeccoll I love the modern look. Do you think I could make the upper panel to flush mount the GPS but still use the hinge hardware to access for storage?

Hello All, I need to update my GPS but not sure how to mount the new one. Looking at the Simrad Go7. There is not much room in the compartment but I think I can get it in there. I was thinking of mounting it flush on the cover so I could still open it up and not loose the storage. What have...

Yes, that is what she wants. I will call Grady to see what they say unless there is a better place to source it.

Yes amamola, only when on the boat fishing or swimming and not around other boats. Not sure I would ever overnight on it, but if I did I would just let it swing.

Hello All, Wife saw some photos of a 228 with full width swim platform and dropped her request. Right now we have the factory platform on the starboard side. I have done some searching but not sure where to look. Anybody else done this project?

I tried this weekend first by tying it off on the cleat on one side and it did not help. Then I used a mooring line by tying a bowline around the anchor rode and pulled the rode back a few feet back and tied it off to the mid ship cleat. That worked much better.

I am use to a little swing and may last GW ('78 Chesapeake) did it too but not this bad. But this 228 swing is crazy. Tying it off on the cleat on one side is a great thought and will try it next time out. I might even try a snatch block back to the mid-ship cleat to pull it back more if...

Hello All, I have a 2006 228 that swings back and forth at anchor. I am on the Chesapeake and every type of anchorage (wind, depth, wave) the boat just clocks back and forth. Any tricks you guys can think of? Anchor Rode is Nylon Three Strand 1/2inch x 150ft with Galvanized 1/4inch x 15ft...

Nope, I used a rubber wheel from amazon. Best 20 bucks I ever spent. Took about an hour to get it all removed. Just search for Decal Remover Eraser Wheel, GOH DODD 4 In Rubber Wheel Car Sticker Adhesive Pinstripe Remover Vinyl Decal Graphics Removal Tool with Drill Adapter Kit For Cars, Rvs...

decalkingdom.com We just did our 200 yesterday.

Thanks Fowl, you got me searching around and found this on the net. Wanted to post it here for others to use. Not exactly what I need but getting close.

Hello Don, Yes it does. I am pulling the boat next week and will take a measurement to see. Even with the motor trimmed up it looks like there is the spray from the plate a bit to low. I am looking at a different prop and read that others say to fix the hight of the motor first then look at...

https://photos.app.goo.gl/PyyGYQxQR3i3XVNg9 Here is a link with a few photos and one video. Running about 26MPH. I think the motor is too low. It is in the lowest hole on the bracket. What do you guys say?

New to me 228 with a Simpson-Lawrence 500 windlass. The boat did not come with an anchor but the windless worked both ways. New anchor and rode installed and the first time I took it out to stretch it out the windless would not go down. I can hear something click and with out the rode on it...

I hit up Great Lakes Boat Top and they gave me a quote for $1,093.72. TOP DROP CURTAIN, TOP SIDE CURTAIN SET, TOP VISOR. 1996 Grady White 228G with factory hard top. That sounds more like it. I still do not know why the other was $5k.

I just bought a '96 228 with a Hard Top. It came with the full Visor package and in good condition, but I looked around to see how much it would be to replace down the road. I found RNR-Marine that says $5k! Is that really the price for some fabric and Strataglass? Or am I missing something?
