    blew my engine

    Started out as a great day, my brother was in town and my daughter and I took him fishing. Headed 15 miles off Topsail and trolled for 2 hours with no action, we then moved another 10 miles into 90ft of water with a temp around 65 degrees. While trolling, with no warning the engine made a loud...

    Looking for a used single engine Springfield bracket. Mine is shot and would like to use factory transom holes. It doesn't have to be in great shape as I may use it for a template or refurb it while I am still using mine. Thanks in advance!!

    shot bracket

    I am looking for a Grady Drive (Springfield) single outboard bracket. Mine is very corroded and would like to replace it with the same model. I just don't want to drill new holes in the transom. My boat is a 1988 228G Seafarer. If you have one or know of a good lead let me know. Thanks and safe...

    Update on this weeks progress, 228G

    Since I saw my former 24 Offshore looking so good on here I had to do something with the Seafarer. I Installed a VHF/loudhailer combo and also a Furuno radar, then networked all my electronics together. The Furuno GP31 displays data on the radar via NEMA network. Standard Horizon...

    Time to get it back up

    Thought I'd see if this club is going to fire back up. I did get some emails two years ago and saw one meeting taking place. What is the status, Its always great to hang out with like minded folks. As always safe boating!

    228G spun prop

    I took advantage of the great weather earlier this week and took the boat for shake down cruise. The first thing I noticed is that my new to me 1988 seafarer hardtop with a 1997 Yamaha 200 SWS carbed would only get up to 4700 rpms. If I trimmed it until near cavitation I could just get...

    Here is my 1988 Seafarer 228G "Sea Bri's", named for my daughter Brianna. Ultimate Yachts in Wilmington NC did a outstanding job on polishing the hull for me. The before picture is when she was named Sugar II. I did go through the De-naming ceremony as I need all the good luck I can get. I...

    Interesting trade

    I was at a boat fabricating facility getting a estimate on a couple of modifications to my 1980 Offshore 240 and the owner wanted to see if I was interested in trading my boat and a couple of grand to him for his 25 sailfish, with a new 454 I/O. It would be a good deal if it had outboards, just...
