Good condition 228 for sale with aluminum trailer in Northern California. Excellent 2002 3.3L Yamaha F225. New HP fuel pump, injectors, filters, thermostats. Runs great, I typically run at 4,400 rpm and 24 knots.
1996 Grady-White 228 with Yamaha 3.3L F225, runs great. New injectors, HP fuel pump, thermostats, spark plugs, etc. 1,650 hours. When I replaced the thermostats a month ago I was impressed at how clean the inside of the cooling system looked. The previous owner religiously used Salt Away after every use.
The engine runs great, and the previous owner had the exhaust system was replaced with the improved exhaust "kit".
The boat had always been a trailer boat, except for six months in a marina in Monterey. The hull came with essentially no bottom paint. I applied several coats of Micron CSC, and has been in a slip for about 4 months.
Has hard top, marine canvas, etc. I moved the batteries from the transom to just forward of the steering bulkhead to better balance the boat.
Boat has a Simrad NSS2 9" color radar/chartplotter. I use the Garmin 7212 for chart and fishfinding, and the Simrad for radar and as a back up chartplotter.
This 228 has the auxiliary fuel tank for a total of 148 gallons. I replaced the fuel selector valve.
Over the last year I installed the following:
Nice Garmin 7212 with GSD 26 sounder module.
New Standard Horizon GX2410GPS VHF radio with AIS, etc.
New Morad VHF/AIS antenna.
NMEA 2000 network.
New Simrad AP44 autopilot, pump and hoses.
New 2-5/16" trailer coupler last year.
New fuel tank senders and aftermarket gauges.
Two new group 27 batteries, see photo.
New isolated battery switches with emergency parallel.
New Racor 320R with metal bowl. Separate fuel filter for a kicker, not installed.
These and other new parts and materials alone cost over $7,000.
I also improved the electrical system, added a small switch panel, got rid of many fuses. Ran #6 battery cable aft to the Scotty downrigger receptacles. Removed some older electronic brackets and wiring. Boat has inside and outside cushions, also a full boat cover. The DR plugs can be used to power electric reels.
Very good aluminum trailer with three new D rated tires. Two spare tires on mounts, one with a hub. I just went through all the bearings and seals.
This was my first Grady-White and I am impressed with the quality. I liked it so much I bought a larger one and am selling this one that I bought last year. I probably spent 140 hours doing the upgrades, and I am fast as I was a boat mechanic for 20 years.
