I'm 40 minutes from my driveway to having the boat in the water at the ramp in Erie, PA. Love my time with my family and friends and the Seafarer does a great job. Primarily, we troll for walleye. But we pick up the odd catfish and can run to deep water for some Steelhead (Lake Run Rainbow...

I saw a concept like this somewhere and ended up making a prototype and then routing this one out of plastic. Approximately 15.5" Tall x 9.5" x .75" HDPE. SS hinges. I still need to add some bungee hold downs...but I am pretty pleased. Keeps the rods off the floor (away from kids feet when...

Boat has been in the garage since September. Decided to pull it out and clean it off a little. Buffed the hull and such a couple months ago. Eager to go boating and fishing!!!

Continuing to make some improvements on my 1984 seafarer. I've shared my repower several times, but haven't made a video (until this evening) of the Verado in action. Enjoy. We are definitely fortunate to have so many choices. Can you really go wrong with any motor right now? Sure, there are...

I tow my 1984 Seafarer with an Aluminum Loadmaster trailer I purchased new. My typical tow distance is about 30 miles each way (to Lake Erie). This summer, I intend to tow it to South Carolina for some Atlantic fun. Decided to upgrade my galvanized 14" wheels to aluminum and in the process...

In the summer of 2020, I intend to trailer my boat (22' seafarer) to Murrell's Inlet, SC and go offshore. I've been out of that inlet many times over the past 30 years on other boats. I am curious what suggestions folks may have for safety equipment. I expect we'll stick with 35 miles or less...

For my 1984 Seafarer, I am looking for the hatch adjuster that folks are using for the hatch the pops up to the topside deck (bow side of the cabin). Mine is corroded. It's metal and about 8" long and I can not find it anywhere. Also, for my lids on the fish boxes under the helm seats, I want...

Hey folks. As I continue to pick away at the details of my 1984 seafarer restoration, I am looking at the fishboxes that are under the seats on the port and starboard sides. I don't see a seal around them. It's the edge of the lid gelcoat resting on the base gelcoat...and causing wear. I...

Hi all. I am looking to redo the windshield on my 1984 Seafarer. I don't have broken glass or otherwise....but the top of the window frame is directly in my line of site when running. So, I was thinking of fabricating a totally new windshield assembly (sides and fronts) with TALLER windows...

As I'm refurbishing my boat, I am looking at new cockpit bolsters. I found this SeaDek product that is a foam with adhesive backing. The boat will be stored indoors and out of water when not in use 10-20 times per summer. Anyone have experience with this product? I am intrigued by it....but...

Hello All. Still restoring my 1984 seafarer. I have begun to enclose the transom (making like a 228 vs cutout 226) with coosa and 1708 mat. Using the West System epoxy and it's turning out well. In the meantime, I am continuing to investigate repower options. Originally, I was set on a...

Hey all. As I am restoring my 1983 seafarer, I am looking at electronics package. Prefer to have good fish finder/GPS combo. I fish Lake Erie, and will likely trailer to Ontario and the Atlantic Ocean (Murrel's Inlet, SC). I'd like something that can accept NEMA 2000 and be somewhat future...

Hey all....trying to replace the starboard side live well/fishwell drain that is under the helmseat. This is for the 1983 seafarer 226. It's a small flange drain.... Thanks in advance. Yes...I did reach out to a dealer and they weren't optimistic about helping.... Shawn

Hey all. I am looking to add a bracket to the transom of my boat. I want to mount a 250 yamaha or honda. I am curious if anyone has dimensions on their bracket for this boat? I got a price from a couple places and want to investigate having one made locally for comparison. I am sure I'd...
