I have also heard that the exhaust fix on those older Yamaha’s is only temporary in some cases and the engines still blow up after 600 hours or so after the fix.

Just curious but do you mean the Grady factory pod had water In it? If so I have never heard it called a jack plate, but I’m relatively new to Grady boat ownership, thanks.

My 1999 228 Seafarer has a 92 gallon US main tank and a 56 gallon US auxilliary fuel tank. It’s a great fuel payload if you are tuna fishing offshore, something I don’t do yet. The scuppers are a little under water but no issues with wet feet at rest or trolling. I did have to modify the bracket...

I just received a similar private message in SportfishingBC.com , they are everywhere now I guess.

It’s just another form of fishing/phishing on a boat forum …

I have never done this before but I decided to try to cut and polish my new to me 1999 Seafarer a couple weeks ago. I used both the 3M Marine rubbing compound and restorer and wax One Step products. I was watching a lot of Drake’s videos to learn the technique. Masked off the pin strip and...

I also have a Suzuki DF250 2012 model on my Seafarer and just a great engine ..

Yes I went with the 8/8 - 120 Brooker Beige, a little darker than the originals but close enough

I have a 2012 Suzuki DF250 on my 1999 Seafarer and it’s a great engine, lots of power And mid range torque. I had Yamahas for over 20 years with zero issues but the new to me Suzuki’s has been awesome in the 2 years that I have owned them. The 9.9 is EFI so very easy starting as compared to my...

Suzuki’s are awesome, you won’t be disappointed

Sounds like a tongue twister …

Great advice, thanks

I will upgrade to load range D tires next spring and sell the near new load range C tires currently on the trailer, thanks for all the information, much appreciated or I may just start looking for a bigger payload trailer as suggested over the winter …

It is a galvanized Road Runner trailer, I did just put new tires on last year, they are load range C, here is the rig, I figured I was on the bubble with weight.

I have a 1999 Seafarer that did not have the side bolsters and some of the other cushions when I bought the boat 18 months ago. The side bolster clips were still on the boat so I bought the backing plastic, heated and curved them and cut holes to slide over the clips and had the upholstery shop...

The weight of the truck and the boat is 13,900lbs and the truck only is 7460lbs

The carrying capacity of the trailer is 5200lbs which I thought I was good until weighing the boat and truck the other day on the scale and then going back to just weigh the truck. I just assumed that the Specs from the Grady White website would be accurate but my mistake. Looks like I’m...

Great thanks for the information gentlemen, Luckydude, is your hardtop and canvas only 225 lbs? For some reason I thought it would be at least 500lbs or so.

Hello, I was wondering if someone knew the weight of the 228G with a hardtop? I have the 1999 model with the hardtop but the 1999 brochure tells me it’s 3000lbs and the 2000 brochure tells me it’s 3350lbs with the Grady bracket. I took it to a local scale today and from my calculations after...

I powder coated a bolt on bracket to extend the height on the factory pod to mount my 30 inch Suzuki. The powder coat that was a very close match was called furniture white, I can try to get the colour number if you like.
