I got one right? Always a first time for everything!

Have you tried replacing the circuit breaker/fuse for the wash down pump and see if that solves the problem? I'm admittedly no expert in regard to marine electronics, that being said it seems like anytime where I've had an issue in my house of a breaker tripping several times back to back, it...

1997 is yes I believe the year that they went away from using standard marine grade plywood and instead went to a product called Greenwood XL.The transom's of these boats can still have the issue though depending on the condition, how much water intrusion there is and so forth... so it's not a...

As mentioned... bubbles in the fuel would make me think air is getting in through the fuel lines. My uncle's boat had a similar issue years ago where the fuel lines had pinhole leaks in them and would stall the engines as well. Replacing the fuel lines was the golden ticket and ended up...

Nice! Which area are you fishing in? The biggest one we got this year was just under 34" and probably 17-18 lbs or so.

Have had a fantastic season of salmon fishing here in the Puget Sound this summer so far, just figured I'd share...

When you say the boat as repaired, was it just the crack or was the entire transom repaired/replaced? Depending on what all was done and how much damage occurred, that could make for some pretty costly issues down the road. Also, what do you mean by every option possible? As in it comes with a...

I know nothing about the boat other than what you mentioned and hope that it isn't another forum member's boat as I don't wish to "bash" their listing. That being said, I imagine the reason why it's been for sale for awhile now is because of the price. The one good thing about the boat is that...

Sounds like you've got the wrong propeller on there then, or something else is quite off. It's not exactly an apples to apples comparison but I've got a 2004 Grady White 228 Seafarer with a 2004 Yamaha F225 on it, of which the performance bulletin says she'll do a top speed of 44.6 mph @ 6,100...

They added Google ads back several months ago and yes they were quite infuriating to where it would bog down/take up the entirety of the site/screen. That being said, if you donate to the site, the admins will turn off the ads, which I believe the minimum to donate is $10...

I purchased my first boat back in July of 2017, it's a brand called Arima and it was a 21' Sea Ranger. The boats are made out here in the Seattle area but they have absolutely absurd prices out here. If you can find them elsewhere throughout the country though, you can usually find a steal of a...

I was constantly looking on all of the boat sales websites like BoatTrader, Boats.com, YachtWorld, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and so forth. I bought my boat in person then rented a U-Haul truck and trailered the boat myself back the 3,009 miles to Seattle. This is the third time I’d done a...

I'd make sure it's the SeaV2 hull as like you said... 1992 was the year they swapped over from the SeaV1 to the SeaV2 hull. Being that it's a January 1992 model year, I'd definitely double check that first. The other thing you'll want to check is the floorboards, the stern and the rest of the...

Definitely reassuring having a brand new trailer, especially when doing a cross country trek. The rims on the trailer look nice and are very similar looking to those on the truck, that being said they are slightly different.

The boat is 25 years old now and as stated before, the weight of your Yamaha F300 is less than the Yamaha F225 that I have on my boat currently. You could always reach out to Grady White or your local GW dealership if you're really that worried about it, but I'd just got for it, especially if...

There's multiple Honda Pilot's in the general area within your budget that have a clean title, under 100k miles, etc. There's also a couple Toyota Highlander's nearby that are only a couple thousand more, one is a 2018 with 87k miles on it located in Brockton for $21k.

So if I'm understanding you correctly, you're planning on taking your current F300 off your current boat and then putting it on the above mentioned 2000 Grady White 228 Seafarer?

Looks like a 208 Adventure has an 82 gallon gas tank? If she’s only half full, an extra 40 gallons of fuel at 6 lbs per gallon would be almost another 250 lbs. Meaning you could very well be pushing over 6k lbs on a boat/trailer combo with a full tank of fuel and a moderate amount of gear. I...

I guess I don’t see the point of needing a 300 hp outboard on a 228 Seafarer. Top speed with an F225 is right around 45 mph and I imagine an F300 is going to put you around 52-53 mph. The F250 will likely help you plane more easily/quickly and think that’s really all you need for that boat, but...
