PNW. I saw your post about painting bracket. Mine is a 1994 228. I’m going to have it sand blasted this week. Then I might paint it myself if I can figure out a way to keep it warm. Any chance you would be willing to chat on phone about experience and how it’s held up?

Sure, I didn't know what I was doing but did my research and prepped, was cold also. Had to tent it with heaters. It's held up 6 years later. post you phone and I'll call you.

Hi Tish
From your posts it looks like you may live in the Seattle area? I just bought a Grady 228 that I am restoring and putting a motor on. What model Grady do you own? I have recently mostly fished Shilshoe and Jeff head, and south of the oil docks in my 18 foot Hewes. Because it’s a sportsman its hull beats me up, so I rarely venture north and west like I used to.
cheers

Hi, I just read a post you made where you talked about your 228 and it sounds like you know your boat innards well. I just bought a project 228 and would love to be able to ask someone like yourself a few questions. Please let me know if you have time. Thanks!

Hello Lee, I just bought a 97 GW 228 and read your tank replacement post with interest. I hope you can answer a few questions. 1) is there a check valve on the tank breather tube so that it doesn’t vent out to atmosphere but does let air in? 2) is the anti siphon valve to prevent fuel theft or a fuel flow requirement? Thanks much

Hello Sir, my name is Paul, I own a 2014 33 express, while searching threads I found you had same problem with your passenger seat back rest as I have , the bolts sheared off the post from people leaning/grabbing it. I can not figure out how to lift back rest enough to replace the bolts , I do not want to call you being a stranger, thank you for any tips.

Getting ready to do furuno tzt3s and the airmar 175hw. How did the install go? Where did you end up putting it and how does it work on step?

I saw your thread on the Grady white 222 fisherman and the upgrade to a 4 blade solas 15.25x20 prop. I have the same boat and recently reported with a 2022 Suzuki df250ap and am having issue with propping. What prop was on there before? And did you have any issues with keeping bow down and hole shot with the 4 blade prop?

Hey guys. I will be dry docking my 282 sailfish this winter. Has anyone winterized theirs and any tips. I'm also considering indoor heated storage as an option.
