Went 20 miles north here on Georgian bay for the weekend. Came home yesterday, it was blowing 21 kts and gusting to 29. Honest steep 5s and the odd six footer tapering to 4s on the way home. Wife wasnt thrilled and dog even less so, but boat handled admirably. 3400 rpm and full tab and it was...

Being as my 226 is a family boat more than a fishing boat, was thinking of doing either one to the entire floor. The non skid is getting pretty worn, and instead of redoing it, was thinking of the infinity vinyl done as a snap in system as opposed to glue down. but then saw the sea dek thread...

Hello All. I have a 1993 Seafarer with a Yammy 250 four stroke on it. I would guess weight with trailer would be around 5500 lbs I like to head down to the Keys for several weeks to a month in March, and want to bring it down next winter. I need a truck anyway, and really am looking hard at...

I have a ton of extra room under the floor in my 93 226. Between the seats at the front, the access panel is huge, and i was wanting to add a smalle,r latching/locking access panel so I can use the space for storage. Obviously the panel needs to be strong enough to walk on, large enough to get...

Noticed a bunch of above water through hulls are cracked on my 93 226. Reached in through the access port, and it snapped off with little effort. Now the barb of the through hull is broke off inside the hose. Hose drains the livewell. Not interested in taking it out of the livewell, because I...

Had a crazy blow Friday night. My spot on the bay has 70 miles of fetch, and depending on who measured we had fifty mph sustained for a good bit. Decided to take out the new (to me) seafarer 226 and give it a go. The wind was ripping the tops of the waves off in the gusts, lots of wind damage on...

Hello all, Was poking around my new to me 1993 seafarer. On the main stringer, about the middle of the front compartment even with the helm seats is about a dinner plate or slightly larger wet spot. Actually, one on both sides. Sounding with a hammer, and visually you can notice a different...

Hey guys. Took the 226 out last night and once after a gradual slow down off plane the front bilge shot out about 1/2 gallon if water. I was bow up at the time, but not more than when I get up on plane. Does the front compartment not drain into the rear bilge when the boat is now up? Also...

Hello everyone. Just bought a 1993 seafarer in 6-7 out of 10 condition. Gel coat is crumbling a bit in the corners just behind the scuppers, a few gel issue son the inside, and it looks like the rub rail and the rubber trim around the windows could be replaced or redone. I dont see any sign of...
