So after a few failed attempts trying to rid the boat of dry wood termites, and failing, I had to resort to having it tented and fumigated. I tried to make sure my friendly tree frog was not hiding in it, but I imagine all life that was still left is certainly dead. I will be glad to have this...

This was the longest trip I have taken in my 1987 226, we ran over 80 miles total offshore fishing for Mahi here in South Florida. Now it's one thing to say a 33 year old hull is still going strong, but how about original twin Johnson 140 loopers that sport original power heads? They still purr...

Yep, a dam rat infestation in this part of town caused by the clearing of a property where homeless people had been living. Now this is right next to our high school, town hall, and community center which all borders our neighborhood. It seems a few decided to nest in my boat, :mad: just what I...

Scary stuff!

I have been wanting a good quality full cover for my 87 226, but just have not had the funds to get a new one. I spotted this cover from a Grady 23 Gulfstream on Facebook classified, it had a couple small rips in it but overall is in nice condition. Asking price was 350.00, I haggled it down to...

After 9 months of restoration, this wonderful 30 + year old boat is amazing!

I'm looking to replace some of the black plastic window trim on my 87 Seafarer, anyone have a source for direct replacement trim?

I remember after bringing this boat home and cleaning out the cabin storage compartments, I found a big pile of rusted steel in the forward compartment. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why it was there, or what it used to be. Looked like chunks of rusted out leaf springs. Well, while...

Newbie here! Chances are pretty good I will be hauling this Grady White 226 home next weekend, had a boat mechanic look it over yesterday. It needs a bunch of work, but the mechanic says it's worth the trouble. It sports twin 140 Johnsons that show 135 compression on all cylinders for both...
