I have a 1999 228 and I installed mine in the clamshell that Lucky mentioned

Thanks, we built the house first 22 years ago and then the barn a year after, which you can see in the background. But with Covid and the upswing in prices I have to admit that the shop costs were way more than I planned. Your shop looks great and will give you years of use, it’s just...

Yes we dug the hole, poured the footing then built the 22 inch foundation and poured, back filled, framed and then poured the concrete slab. I didn't realize your shop was post framed, that makes sense now, thanks.

Great job, it’s interesting to see different framing techniques, it looks like your original walls were 4x4 on 4ft or 5ft centers. Up here on the west coast of Canada north of Seattle, I recently built a shop for my boat and toys and tools and I went with 2x6 on 16 inch centres, 14 ft walls...

This is what my dual binnacle looks like on my 228 from a couple angles

Yes I luckily have a friend with the same motor and Seafarer so I used the straight edge off his keel and measured to the anticavitation plate and then measured mine and adjusted to get the correct height.

I had to move my DF250 up 2 holes on my 228 Seafarer from the initial install height to get much better performance but it was well worth it

I know it’s been said here before but you can drink out of that bilge, also what are those wires used for that are coming out of your drain plug hole?

I’ve been looking at the Maxshine M8S DA as I’m thinking it would work well in those tighter areas you mention, I have the Makita polisher for the larger areas on the boat.

I have a 1999 228 Seafarer and had to get a new drop curtain made which I believe the upholstery shop used Sunbrella navy blue to match the rest of my curtains that were on the boat

Most likely a blockage, did you push weed/grass trimmer line up into the tell tale hole to try to dislodge ?

This is my current dash layout …

I had one on my Seafarer, I removed it as I couldn’t figure out what it was for. I thought it might be a sun visor but never needed it for that purpose.

The trailer is worth $6000 alone, as long as it’s not a scam.

No from Amazon, I think I bought 3 for about $20, so far they have held up

I replaced a couple broken cup holders on my 1999 Seafarer with stainless ones, the outside measurement of the lip is 4 3/16 inches and the lip is 1/4 inch, here’s the replacement,

What year is your 208 and does it have a hardtop? I have a 2012 Suzuki DF250 V6 3.6 liter, xxl that weighs 600lbs on my 1999 228G Seafarer with a hardtop. The DF250 has an insane amount of torque with my boat which weighs about 3500 lbs dry. I’m not familiar with the torque curve of the Mercs...

I connected my kicker with the Seastar Kicker Tie Bar kit which is a cable system that connects to the main motor, works great

Fishtales, yes I’m always amused when some people like Joshua, can’t seem to do a little homework and at least supply a part number to help a customer cross reference with a supplier. All good in the end now thanks to the work from Broco.

Looks exactly where mine broke which makes sense probably the weakest point, thanks
