First season with my 1996 Seafarer 228, and I am a little underwhelmed with my 200 HPDI Yamaha, so I'm thinking of a repower. I know my transom is sound because I had to redo that. I also have a T8 kicker hanging on the back, so weight is a concern for me. I am looking at 250 HP Yamaha...

I bought this boat in FL this October and brought it out to Oregon where I am having a hard top made. The curtains are like brand new and I don't think the previous owner ever put them on. I have all of the curtains, the front, sides, and back curtain and a carrying bag. The bimini top...

Two questions really! 1. Which size tubing for a 1996 228: 1 and 1/2 inch or 1 and 3/4 inch tubing? 2. Anybody use a gimbal mount for Scotty downriggers? I like the idea of not drilling holes to mount the mounting plate, but I wonder about the torque and stress of a downrigger dragging...

Want to take them to a local upholstery shop but not sure how to take them off. Looked on the back side and did not see a bolt or nut to take off. Suggestions appreciated.

On all of my previous boats I have always had the kicker on the port side. However, I am seeing more pictures of 228s with the kicker on the starboard side. The swim step is already on the port side, so I would have to move that if I were to go with port side. I just bought a used Yamaha T8...

If everything works out on inspection this weekend, this boat will be making the trip to Oregon soon. As far as kicker placement, any recommendations for after market bracket? Also, will I need an XL shaft or just an L. Finally, I would like to place it on the port side and move the ladder...

Well, I first posted on this forum around 9 months ago when I was just toying with the idea of selling my aluminum Pacific Northwest boat, and, I took the plunge and recently sold it. I'm looking in the 22-24' range and Seafarers are at the top of the list, but I am finding them a bit hard to...

It's been a while since I have posted here! Still toying around with the idea of selling my aluminum boat, and I am pretty sure that my next boat will be a GW Seafarer. I live in Oregon, and have been browsing Craigslist nation-wide off and on; don't see that many listed here on the West...

Not currently a GW owner, but am thinking about purchasing one, so I did some research and found this site. Here's a bit of my boating history: my dad bought a brand new 1970 16' Seaswirl with a 90HP Johnson when I was 7 years old. We fished the heck out of that boat and even made frequent...
