Hello all, Love my 228! That being said, I need some ideas for a ladder I can either hook to the bow rail or permanently attach to my trailer to help me get on and off when launching and retrieving. You guys know the drill, back it down, get on it (this is where the ladder comes in), start...

Hello everyone, I've having a trailer built for my 2005 228. The builder is out of state, so he can't take measurements. Have the specifications or hull bottom details changed from 2005 to now? I know it's a SeaV2, but have chine and strake design changed? I sent him a link to the specs for the...

I took a look at an 05 228 with a Yamaha f250. Boat is nice and well-maintained. I noticed something I thought odd: the skeg had been bottom painted on an angle right to the water intake for the water pump. Broker said yes, the skeg is partially submerged when she's in the water, but all Gradys...

All, My 1993 208 needs a cabin hatch cover (the small cover you can open from inside the cabin that forms part of the bow seating area). Grady is closed this week, so I didn't call them. I've heard through a dealer that they only keep stocked parts for hulls 10 years old and newer. Can...

All, Wondering what's the best way to get a new cuddy hatch for my 93 208. Also looking for new pop-up access hatches that cover the gas tank and splashwell. Boston Mass area. Many thanks! Joe 1993 208 (third owner) 2007 ETEC 200 hp 2.6 Liter 333 hours. 42 MPH. full enclosure, outriggers...

I'm going to start using my iPad on my 208. I'll be mounting it to the left of the steering wheel, behind the grab bar that's above the cuddy door. That surface is slightly tacky - think the sea sucker will hold there? Follow-up question is if you do use the iPad on the boat, what waterproof...

Greetings, I own a 1993 208 that has been mostly trailer kept and is in excellent shape. Has a 2007 Etec on it. Boat also has a full enclosure and canvas top which are being replaced. My question is, what color do you suppose would work best? I'd like a shade of blue, but I don't want to select...

All, I have a 1993 208. Hull is in good shape as the boat was kept on a trailer for most of its life. I have some water getting into the hull, and I think I should just replace all the thruhulls as a starting point since they are due. Can someone direct me to a good hull man on the Cape? I...

1993 Adventure 208. Boat is in good shape. Time to retire the original seats, which were of average quality to begin with. I want a comfy seat and am looking at ladder-backs from Todd, etc. I’m thinking I may be crowding the helm with two of these, no way to know for sure. Anyone put the bigger...

Greetings, I have a 1993 208 that has been kept on a trailer for most of its life. The hull is in great shape with no obvious points for water entry. It has the standard live well setup with raw water wash down. Also has 10 gallon freshwater tank. I've become alarmed by the amount of water that...

Hey Fellas, I have an adventure 208. The depth finder just went (had to be 6-7 years old or more). It could be the transducer, wiring or the unit itself, which I accidentally dropped last week (I partially caught it before it hit the floor, but that might have done it in). The fish-finder was...

Hello all, I went to replace an old float switch to the bilge pump on my 1993 adventure 208. When I went to screw in the new base for the float switch, the screw actually broke off a piece of fiberglass down in the bilge. There is a slightly elevated part of the hull down there which I assume...

Hey Fellas, I read a few posts on the site about winterizing the raw and fresh water systems, but I was wondering about the best way to do this for a 208. I thought I would just unscrew the hose clamp on the raw water intake (near the seacock) and put that hose in a jug of 50/50 water/anti...

Hey guys, Quick question about a float switch on an adventure 208. I checked mine this weekend, and it doesn't work. First thing I looked at was batteries - 12V on both. Next was the inline fuse that is on a direct hook-up to one of the batteries. While the filament itself is not broken...

Hey all, I had my 1993 208 adventure on the trailer yesterday, and I parked on a hill just to see if any water would come out of the bilge with the plug out. On a level surface, no water comes out of the bilge, but wouldn't you know it, on the incline, several gallons of water came out. So...

Just wondering what you folks use for a sea anchor for a 208 adventure. Small boat, but heavy for its size. PARA-TECH Parachute Sea Anchors look nice, but are expensive. I'll continue searching the site - just thought I would ask in the meantime. Thank you, Joe 93 208 adventure/2007...
