looking for used isinglass enclosure
 
I have the exact same boat, same year and had complete enclosure made about 2 years ago by A&J Canvas.
Quality is very high and get ready for about $3K
Had mine done in black sunbrella canvas
 
Agreed. I had A&J do mine also for my 2004 228. Navy blue for mine.

You could check with captpjt to see if his are still for sale? I'm guessing if these fit a 225 Tournament that they should be able to fit a 228 Seafarer?

A Tournament and a Seafarer are two totally different boats.

I understand that from a perspective of being different models. Wouldn't the 225 Tournament and a 228 Seafarer likely have the same hardtop though? The boats are both the same length and width, with similar cockpit sizes and so forth. As cost conscious as Grady has been known to be, I wouldn't imagine they have two completely different hardtops, canvas and so forth on the same size and models of boats. Though I'm obviously not 100% sure on that one, might be worth a call to GW or your local dealer to be sure.
 
Not even close. Seafarer hard top frame is inside of the walk around, and the Tournament has a full width helm, with the HT frame out to the gunnels.

Ah, one of the first pictures I saw when I typed in "Grady White 225 Tournament hardtop" into Google was the linked boat, which the hardtop on it looks very similar to mine. Though on looking further, it's obviously a bit bigger with having a triple axle trailer. Carrying on...

 
A&J did mine in black. I treat it with 303 Fabric Guard and it repels water for years.

Last year in May, FLWhaler on this site had a decent used set for a Seafarer for sale, possibly PM him to see if it’s still available
