All in I’m in about 6K.

It came out really nice. I don’t have those skills.

Yes eventually. The top cost a pretty penny.

My scuppers are below the water line and we’re old. I replaced them and 99% of my problems went away

Be careful. Notched transoms were notorious for rot. I have a 1988 and it’s on a bracket which prevented a lot of the rot. Be careful. Also check for squishy floors and you’ll probably need a new gas tank. How much is he asking?

Thanks!

I may be interested in your cover. I have a 1988.

I had a new hardtop made for my 1988 Seafarer. She’s looks like a new boat!

I’ll post more pictures after the new hardtop is installed.

I’m getting close. Been waiting since February. I take it to Delaware next Friday and it takes about a week to build it. Im pretty excited

I’ve been restoring my 1988 228. Has taken about three years. New bulkhead and I finally added new cabin doors. I had the old teak shutter doors and I wanted a more contemporary look. In 2 weeks I’m having a custom hardtop added and I should be, almost, maybe done?

Yeah, that’s what I’ll probably need to do. Thanks

After searching for three years, this is what I’ve learned. Only a hardtop from your years (or recent years to your boat) will fit. Ones from a 24’ boat or others won’t fit without a lot of fabrication and even then, the aluminum piping is probably shot. Don’t want to be discouraging, but I’ve...

Bump. Still looking.

My question doesn’t ask for buying tips. My question was, are there any 228 owners who’ve experienced rot when your motor is mounted on the bracket and full transom? It’s a question of common issues and to what degree.

That’s a fair question, I paid $2000 for a wreck. Spent the past three years restoring it. I banged on it with a mallet and it sounded solid but before I put thousands of dollars and hours of time into the boat I wanted to make sure that I had a dry transom. And it does. I was just wondering if...

There are a lot of threads on GW rotted transoms. I have a 228 which is bracketed. I tested the core right after I bought the boat. It’s a 1988 and seems to have a dry transom. I drilled holes in the transom in a bunch of places, and the wood appeared to be dry. My question is, are there any...

Haha, thanks yes you were right! This is why I like thes forums, you can flush out ideas with guys who get it.
