    Pulling the trigger on a pilot house on the 228

    Don't fret about the age thing. I am way older than you and i am able to handle my 228 just fine. You have a long time to go before you get relieved from being skipper. steve

    First boat

    You should watch a bunch of videos on youtube for the GW215 - Some show boat features and others show action on the water. They are fun to watch and and you will learn a lot. steve

    NE Boat Show

    Was was a part owner of a 20' boat - Cobia in the late 1960's that cost $ 1,500 - then in 1986 bought a "NEW" - Glastron v-216 for about $18,000 - after using that boat until 2014 realized it made no sense for an upgrade to a Grady White to buy new - was able to purchase a 2004 228 and have no...

    Lorance HDS 7 - older model

    The transducer was replaced (it broke off then) in December 2021 and on the way back from the mechanic to my marina I took a picture with my iphone which i still have that showed a reading at 150 feet. I recall that this depth lasted just a little while and then returned to the same problem. I...

    Lorance HDS 7 - older model

    Thank you both for the information. The transducer has been replaced twice and the same result occurred with loss of the bottom. I think the transducer is lower that the hull - hard to know as its located below the platform and boat is always in the water. The December 2021 replacement...

    Lorance HDS 7 - older model

    I have an '2004 - 228 and thanks to everyone on here for guideance. I am no DIU'er but do try my best. Just had the 250 Suzuki serviced and had them replace the scuppers based on advice here - they have been the same ones since i have had this sled for the past ten years. Maybe never...

    Missing cup holder drain tubing

    My '04 228 has a drain tubing that is attached to something below the deck. Tried to replaced one of the cracked cups with the metal cups but it would not fit. So far I put clear tape on the outside of the cracked cup until I come up with a better repair solution. It is starting to rain here...

    Poor Grady-White support for older boats.

    I think that this board is a great place to obtain information from other GW owners. I have an old Mercedes SL and have obtained information from the Benz forum or just search you tube videos for some DIY projects. A GW word search on Yahoo or Google may be helpful too. Depending on a...

    GW 228 - Scuppers

    Checked the hoses on the 228 and they looked very solid - perhaps they were replaced by one of the prior owners. Will have the mechanic review this in the fall though. Water flow is very good now. steve

    GW 228 - Scuppers

    Dennis The grate/screen is the crosshair type thing. Went back to the boat and I think I got it fixed for now. At first put the hose with some soap and nothing came out the scupper. I could see just a little bit of soap color in the water but water from the hose was still on the deck. Then...

    GW 228 - Scuppers

    Dennis Thanks for your response. The floor drain does not have a screen - just plastic and I can put my fingers in it. Last time the boat was out I checked the rubber scuppers and they looked ok and opened and closed. I will put the hose on the drain on each side with some soap to see what...
