    Seafarer 228 Transom Rot?

    228 Seafarer upgrades questions. MFDs - 2 9s? 1 12" or 16"? Auto-deploy trolling motor and shaft length?

    I have a garmin 1242xvs in my console of my 228 and it is great. I had two 9” screens on another boat and it worked well, but I prefer the 12” screen much more.

    Carry an Extra Propeller ?

    Pulling the trigger on a pilot house on the 228

    Charlie does great work, I saw another 228 with a cabin on it he did. Would you mind letting us know the cost, I have entertained this idea for a few years. Thanks and I look forward to seeing the progress.
