    Sea deck

    I have the whole deck done and it is very comfortable, non slip, and easy on the legs. It appears to stain but if you foam it up with 30 second cleaner and brush it, let it sit a minute, then mildly power wash it off, it comes up like new. be careful with a pressure washer though because it will...

    Prop problems?

    Thanks for all the advice. I finally upgraded the prop to a Solas SS 15.6" with 13 pitch 3 blade and it really makes a difference. Now I can get wot of 5300 and tops out at 40 MPH. I'm hoping to cruise at 30 and maximize fuel efficiency when possible. We haven't had her out with full fuel, 4...

    Prop problems?

    I have a 2002 228G Seafarer powered with a 2002 Yamaha 200 2 stroke I bought last year. Both had 450 hours. The boat is in great shape as is the motor, BUT, at WOT it runs at 4900 RPM and cruises at 25 MPH. I would like it to cruise at 40 or better if possible and WOT should be more like 5500...

    2002 228G aux fuel tank

    I recently purchased the 228G and I'm looking into the possibility of retro install of the aux fuel tank that was not ordered when the boat was new. Any ideas on where to get a tank or the dimensions to have one fabicated? I'm in the Cape May, NJ area. I would like to do it this winter if it...
