Hello all, I have a 2001 228 Seafarer with hardtop and a 200HP HPDI on the back. Over four days last weekend I travelled around 100 nautical miles and used around 50 US gallons of fuel and a gallon of 2-stroke. Is this about right for people on this forum with 228's too? I know there...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone's had experience with tying a wakeboard or ski rope to the hardtop of a 228? I just wonder if it's strong enough? Best to ask before trying! I understand that there are two lugs on the transom, but with wakeboarding, the higher the rope, the better. This...

Hi all, I'm an aussie, but worked in Charlotte, NC for about a year where I met and fell in love with the GW. This year I imported a second hand 2001 228 with hardtop and 200hp HPDI from NC and have been really enjoying it. It was really hard work importing the boat, lots of late nights...

Howdy, My GPS (a Furuno 1650DF) switches off everytime I kickover the motor. Its quite a pain after a drift, especially when you want to go back to your waypoint. I'm currently blame this inconvenience for my lack of successful fishing! :) I have a 228 with twin batteries and a...

Hello happy 228 owners, I've asked the God Google, but he's been unable to answer my prayers on finding a magazine or website review of a year 2000 or newer 228 / 226. If you have come across one, please let me know (only if its a good one of course! :P ) I have scanned the reviews on...

Hi all, My livewell fills no problems with the seacock open and pump running. But when I turn off the pump, the water runs out through the seacock (ie through the inlet). This seems a little strange to me. I would have thought there would have been a one-way valve on the inlet so that...

Hi all, I'm trying to locate the float switch for the aft bilge pump on my 2001 228. The manual says that one is installed, but I can't seem to find it and the bilge does retain a lot of water if it rains. I want to leave my boat in the water overnight at a friend's mooring, but I want to...

G'day guys. I have a 2001 228 with a 200HP Yammie HPDI. At lower speeds, the wake seems to rise off the pod and against the upper end of the leg of the outboard (just below the cover) - rooster tailing so to speak. Is this normal for a 228? Cheers

I'm very sad to say, that after much effort to find a 228 in North Carolina, have it surveyed, modify for shipping, ship along the Atlantic and across the pacific, import and finally have delivered to my house in Sydney, some 'bleep' 'bleep' 'bleep' spray painted the starboard side of my hull...

Howdy, I'm looking to buy a Cannon Tournament Uni Troll 10 downrigger for my 228. At this stage, I'd rather not drill holes in the Gunwalls, so am thinking about mounting the downrigger on a Gimbal mounted in the rod holder. e.g. http://www.cannondownriggers.com/produc ... g=mounting...

Hi Grady fans, I'm writing from Sydney Australia where I'm looking to import a 228 Seafarer from the US. As an aside, Grady's have only recently made it to the land down under and as such the second hand market is pretty much non-existent. To reduce freight costs (and thus spend more of...
