I’m getting a rear facing Bimini installed soon similar to the one in the picture. We fish on north and west Vancouver Island so it can be misty, rainy weather. Another improvement I could suggest to Grady White designers is to extend the hardtop to cover the back facing seats to keep people...

Wow a V8 in a 250, must be an incredible amount of torque and power, my Suzuki DF250 is a 3.6l V6 and I thought it had lots of torque.

Here is a picture of my DF250 Suzuki 30 inch shaft, it just touches the water

Premier helm chairs at Pompanette.com are the chairs I would like but they are pricey

I have a 2012 Suzuki DF250 on my 1999 228 Seafarer and couldn’t imagine having anything smaller, it’s a perfect match in my opinion.

I keep my front and side curtains on all year long and in all weather but I fish mid Vancouver Island to the northern tip all year just to keep dry and out of the wind. I have only stuffed the bow once going slow around Cape Sutil in about 8 ft standing waves, gets exciting looking at water when...

Awesome craftsmanship and patience to work in tight spaces

I replaced those exact same sliders on my 1999 228 Seafarer with Garelick /Eez-In seat slide system and they are awesome as mine were worn out, very easy to install as they fit perfectly

Well correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t see how that flip down door on the port side of the new 281 would work when tied to a dock, the dock would have to be very low for that door not to hit. Look at my signature picture for example of my 228 tied to the dock. I realize they are different...

Congrats, sleek looking outboard.

Hello Gentlemen and Ladies, this is a great forum, I’m sure it’s spread across all of North America and beyond. It’s awesome that the internet can bring similar people with similar interests, like fishing and boating together to share ideas and solutions. We are fortunate to live in a place...

Does anyone have pictures of how they look when installed? I’m curious, they look sharp in the ad. I’m sure I still have the originals on my Seafarer, thanks.

It amazes me that the manufacturers make these so difficult to remove, I tried to remove a warning label on the top of the cowling of my Suzuki but gave up in fear of removing paint in the process. Yet the body side mouldings on my Chev Silverado are falling off again.

Well good question, the Seafarer I bought in December 2019 was from an insurance auction in Vancouver BC from the previous owner hitting something and tearing the outboard from the pod. The upper horns from the factory pod were toast so my son in law fabricated a bracket to bolt onto the top and...

I’ve got a 30 inch Suzuki DF250 on my Seafarer, been running it for 3 years, just crazy amount of torque. I had Yamahas for over 20 years but made the switch to Suzuki, so far very impressed.

Well I have a dumb question as I know very little about fibreglass other than small repairs on my very small hand made lake boat. Why put any plywood in the tank lid at all? Why not just layer in lots of fibreglass glass and resin to make the thickness needed and forget the plywood altogether...

Just remember to check the year of the outboard as that motor may have the exhaust issues even with the low hours. I believe the 2002 - 2005 Yamahas had the lack of anti-corrosion in the exhaust leading to potential issues. You may include that as a condition to inspect in an offer you make to...

Wow interesting that you‘re in the State where Grady White’s are built, hopefully you find a local boat. I was cut polishing and waxing my Seafarer last summer and I noticed the old ghosted NC registration numbers on my new to me GW, I’m on the west coast on Vancouver Island. These boats are...

Yes quite impressive, I wish I still had the pictures of what the bilge look liked like when I first bought my Seafarer. Rusty, oily scum in the bottom 6 inches of the bilge. I was hanging upside down scrubbing it with bartender’s friend and Mr Clean scrubbers for hours but it did eventually...

On another not, that’s the cleanest bilge area I have ever seen…
