All, Sold my boat a month ago. Thanks for all the replies and help.

Cap, text me with your contact info at: Nine One 2 - Six 6 Seven - Three 9 5 Six. I'll call you back.

Bloodweiser, I think it will clean up OK, and I intend to get it as good looking as I can. If somebody from California wants to come give me $20K, I'll gladly accommodate them! They have to get it back home though. Thanks for your input.

KY Grady, This EXACTLY the kind of info I was looking for, and I greatly appreciate your response. I was under no illusions that this boat would bring top dollar, in fact, even your low estimate was more than I had anticipated. As I mentioned before, personal issues have prevented us from using...

There is a trailer included, but it has been sitting several years, and will have to be re-built.

200 HP Yamaha HPDI. Has full curtains. No Hard top. These photos are a few years old. Thanks for your response.

Thanks in advance for all the help..... 2000 Seafarer 228G with 2000 Yamaha HPDI. Boat has been in dry storage for 10 years+, but motor has not been cranked in at least 3 years. Personal issues have kept me off the water. The hull is in good shape. Has bottom paint. I'm not making any claims...

Trilogy, Just re-read your post, and I saw where you mentioned that you have a trim-tab rooster tail, so I guess it does sit a little lower in the water. Any other differences in ride, handing, etc? Thanks, SwampGrizz

Trilogy, Congratulations on the new motor. I have a 2000 228G, which is probably very similar to, if not exactly like yours, and I have been pondering a repower up to a 250 for a while now. If you could help with a few questions, I would greatly appreciate it. Did the extra weight of the 4...

I have a 2000 Seafarer with a 200hp HPDI Yamaha, and it's fine. I'm not going to win any speed trials, but that's OK. Your hull may be a little different, so it may make a difference, but I would go with the most reliable motor. SwampGrizz

I have a 2000 Seafarer 228 with a 2000 Yamaha HPDI 200hp. I am well pleased with the motor. It smokes for just a few seconds on startup, but then I don't see any smoke from there on out. It has given me great service, but just make sure you keep clean fuel in it. I would honestly say that the...

Barclayrl, Thanks for the post. Maybe I can budget $3K/$4K for parts, and hopefully the labor will not be more than that. I appreciate your help. SwampGrizz

I'm trying to plan ahead and save up some money up so I can refurbish my boat in the next year or so. I want to have my Seafarer re-wired and new fuel tank/hoses/lines replaced. New electric panel and bilge pumps, etc. I am not a do-it-yourselfer and I don't have the place and/or time to do it...

This is an interesting post for me, because at some point in the future, I want to repower my Seafarer 228G with a new motor. It currently has a Yamaha HPDI 200, and it seems to get out of the hole just fine, and will push the boat along OK. No speed records, but I really don't want to go all...

Brian, Thanks for the reply. I'll give them a try. SwampGrizz

2000 228G Seafarer All, I think it's time to replace the molding along the bottom lip of the gunnel. Any ideas for what to use? Ideally, I would like to find some molding with a "J", such that I can slide it up on the bottom of the lip, and then use the adhesive. Also, any suggestions on the...

I'm a Land Surveyor here in Coastal Georgia, and bog around in the marsh for a living. Beats sitting at a desk, except when it's a hundred degrees in the shade. SwampGrizz Savannah, Ga.

I didn't want to hijack the post below, so I'll ask it here. My johnboat trailer (for my 14' Aluminum Grady) probably needs new bearings. It is a smaller Royal trailer, I think. I'm going to tear it down, and look at the bearings, but wondered if anybody knew off-hand what bearing size it is...

Welcome. You will enjoy that boat. Two things: 1. You have come to the right place for information. There are a LOT of knowledgable folks on here that are generous with their time. I have learned a lot just by reading. 2. Grady White service and support is outstanding. I bought my boat used...
