Are you asking if you can tow a 228 Seafarer for a 232 Gulfstream with a midsized Lexus SUV? If so, then yes you can, though whether you should or not is a completely different story. I've got a 2004 Grady White 228 Seafarer, of which when I first bought the boat, they launched it on a slip that...

Not exactly an apples to apples comparison, but I bought my boat back in October of 2021, of which in the fall of 2023 I got a low voltage warning as well when taking my boat out of the water for the season. So, I figured it was time to replace the batteries, as I bought the boat with batteries...

I found the boat on Facebook Marketplace and have to wonder what in the world they did to the transom area? It looks like they did some sort of transom "work/repair" and then just painted over it? You can see that there are different colored/shaded areas on the transom, with runoff paint that...

In my opinion, it seems odd that someone would have a boat, or really any other toy for that matter, for less than one season, to then have a moment of mental clarity, realize they weren't using it enough and decide to sell it. I mean... I guess it's always possible that they did, and need the...

It looks like the OP for that thread hasn't been back on here since February 22nd, or just over 4 months now. Not saying that they won't be back, or that they wouldn't respond if the OP of this thread sent them a message, just throwing it out there. They are also in Florida and the OP of this...

A few thoughts on the matter... there are 19 Grady White 232 Gulfstream's on Boat Trader as we speak, 10 of those come with single outboards, 9 are with twins and only 2 of those boats have outboards that are at 225 hp or less. Most of the ones on BT seem like they've also been listed on there...

I'm sure that the F225 would likely be marginal and probably get the job done if it's a healthy motor and propped correctly. But having an extra 75+ hp with something like an F300, I imagine would be much more preferable. I also remember hearing a rumor awhile back that the early Yamaha's could...

Not exactly an apples to apples comparison here... but I've got a 2004 Grady White 228 Seafarer with a single F225 on her, and I definitely wouldn't want to go with anything less in terms of horsepower. My boat will hit about 42-43 mph @ WOT around 6k rpm, while being roughly half full of fuel...

As has been discussed on here a few times before, you've basically got 3 options as to how to proceed. The first is going to a local shop and having them fabricate up a hardtop for you, though this is likely going to be the most expensive option. The second would be scouring the internet and...

It has a small sink in the cabin, as well as a porta-potty... or at least that's how it is on my boat.

Outboards with mechanical controls are only available in the Yamaha Grey color, or at least that is the case for the larger outboards. Some of the smaller kicker motors like the 9.9/25 hp have a pearl white option to them, but not the mid range/higher horsepower outboards. The VMAX SHO option...

Congrats on the new to you boat. I too was hesitant about drilling holes into the gunwales on my new to me boat when I first bought it coming up on almost 5 years ago now. With your boat being 14 years old now and it admittedly not being exactly what you were looking for, why the hesitation in...

What's the year and model of boat in question?

With having two very similar usernames, I'd imagine they're likely the same person but for some reason have two different accounts...

If you hover your mouse over the person's user name, it should pop up with small box which will give the option of "Send Direct Message".
