If you guys can't tell from my recent posts, I've "finally" gained enough free time to really start detailing comfort items on my 228. She sits next to the house under a recently built carport with all the tools and motivation available to play with. So next up (after the speaker locations...

Let's see em' if you have pictures. Mine are bad where they are now and can barely be heard. So show us and/or tell us what ideas you came up with that have survived the test of time.....

I've finally got my 228 on a solid concrete pad and protected under a carport. The trailer needs some work so I would like to lift her right where she is to do the work rather than launching somewhere and have to dedicate specific time to get things done; I don't need to remove the trailer...

When I shopped for my Grady 4 years ago, I came across one 228 that had brackets that made the rear seat back(s) either side of the baitwell removable. But for the life of me, I've not been able to find them. Mine are permanently mounted in and I would really like to take them out during...

Ok, I had my 228 listed for sale but when it came down to selling her....I just couldn't do it. I reeeeally enjoy this boat and didn't realize just how much the family wanted to keep her either. No one spoke up very much till' buyers started getting serious. But the reason was to move up to a...

I know there have been many posts on the subject but like many things, there have been quite a few improvements over the past few years. Now that I'm over the 2' itis' and plan on keeping my 228 for many, many years to come, I wouldn't mind setting up a kicker for a number of reasons, one being...

All my safety equipment is in place except for an EPIRB. Mine is a 228 but seeing that Grady's are so similar in design, where would you guys recommend mounting a Cat I EPIRB so that it can float freely if ever needed?

My 228 has the raw water fitting located at the stern so when I have friends and family fishing, the hose is right under their feet. So I plan to add an outlet near the forward end of the deck to allow easier access. Does anyone know what brand outlet Grady uses? I would like to match what’s...

I have what is probably the standard issue seats in my 228 and hope to find a better solution for comfort. I don't even know what options are available but would like to find seats that would offer better back support and even lean back while at anchor and chillin'. Does anyone know who the...

I thought I would pass on what I've done to my 228 since buying it last November. I suppose we never completely finish changes but this one is pretty much where I want it and oh so nice to use! Anyway, here's the list: Auto-Pilot, Raymarine S1000; awesome addition for ease of navigation and...

I've been making changes to my 228 I bought last November and finally have it pretty much where I want it. The last item was the Sea Star Power Assist Unit and WOW!! It's definitely not a requirement for a boat this size and it is expensive but my wife has shown interest in going out like I...

Ok, I'm beginning to make a little headway with equipping my new to me Grady. I'm in a spot now where I can initiate some FL summer sun protection before the sunburns begin. It's got a hard top and a local canvas shop has already suggested a Bimini for the back half of the boat. With a clean...

Just got my 228 a month ago and need a Bracket Drain Plug (plastic with seal). I also need an extra garboard drain plug for a back up. Is there an online source to order from? The nearest dealer is about 45 miles away. Thanks, Steve

Hi All, I just picked up my 1st Saltwater Boat which is a 2008 Grady 228G with 250hp Yamaha Power. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited. In getting all the normal supplies in line, one thing I have a question about is covering during times of non-use. I've looked at a ton of Grady's over the...

Hi All, I'm juuuust about a new Grady White Seafarer owner and have the most basic question. What does "G" mean with 228G's?
