    Fiberglass delamination, top, bow pulpit and anchor hatch

    I got so much help with my fuel tank issue, I thought I would try my delam problem! I have a 1994 Seafarer 22 (226), I do not believe this boat was ever stored inside or under more than a tarp for cover. The topsides gelcoat is pretty chalky and will polish with a lot of work, hull sides are...

    Fuel tank alteration

    I was looking for 250hp, wasn't real concerned on brand. While comparing, I found a used Suzuki 250 at a fair price; love Yamaha-just didn't or couldn't find a used one at the time. Oh, and $'s spent was a big issue, seemed sort of harsh to install a 2021 engine on a 27 year old boat. Also...

    Fuel tank alteration

    I had a 225 Salt Water Series 2 stroke, then replaced it with a Suzuki DF250; the difference was well worth the money. My Yamaha was burning burning a displayed 16 gph @ 28mph. My Suzuki is burning (as near as I can tell) 10 gph at 28mph. Seemed like the Yami was working and the Suzuki seems to...

    Fuel tank alteration

    Ok, sounds like you know the Nootka issue. Gold River to where you stay to the fishing grounds daily and then back to Gold River, it a lot of water covered and I think 99 gallon fix would work. I used to have an Aquasport 21 with a 200 Merc (2 stroke) and we did the Nootka thing for a week and...

    Fuel tank alteration

    I think you are on the right track. After playing with my boat for awhile, I have to say, it wasn't designed to carry as much weight as I was led to believe. I have had about 20 boats and two of these boats were too stern heavy-one was a 22' Seasport with a 350 cid Volvo duoprop and my 22 Grady...

    Fuel tank alteration

    OK, seems like you know the issue, thank you! I do want to keep a bit more than 56 gallons when we fish in Nootka Sound.....a long run with almost nowhere to get fuel. The 92 gallons would last me for a week of getting there, fishing and getting back. I also thought it would be worth the effort...

    Fuel tank alteration

    All, I have a '94 Seafarer 22 and have upgraded the original Yamaha 225 HPDI to a 2010 Suzuki 250 four-stroke. In doing so, I have also added significant weight to the stern of the boat. To start with, the boat has an 8hp 4 stroke kicker on a manually adjustable bracket, located on the starboard...
