That picture was taken in July 2020 when we stayed at Critter Cove in Nootka Sound as our regular cabin was not available due to COVID restrictions by the owners. We were invited back to our regular floating cabin this year which was less busy and a bit quieter than Critter Cove.

Here’s a picture of my downrigger mounting configuration with aluminum backing plates for support under the gunwales. Plugs are mounted under the gunwale near where the top aft road holder is located.

Wow my boat insurance is over double that amount up here in Canada on a declared/surveyed value of just over $50,000 Canadian on my 228 Seafarer. I guess I need to shop around to see if I can get a better rate somewhere else.

Congrats on the 228, you are going to love it. I was polishing mine this summer and saw the ghost numbers from the previous registration decals to find out that it was in North Carolina at one time. Makes we wonder how it ended up in Vancouver BC where I bought it and if there’s a long distance...

Man is that slick, I fabricated some rods to replace mine last year as they were toast, but these look much better.

Hydraulic steering is a great upgrade from cable steering on it’s own as there are just so many advantages. I did the upgrade years ago on my previous Campion and it was awesome, well worth the price and a great selling feature.

Interesting as I also fish Nootka Sound for 4 days every July and usually top my fuel off at Critter Cove, it’s a little more expensive than in town but saves a bunch of weight in the main stern tank. It’s always a trade off I guess.

Hi Bob, I have 1999 228 Seafarer that I put a 2012 Suzuki DF250 on last year. I have the same fuel tank setup as you but I have decided to run and fuel the front 56 gallon tank only for the same reason as you mention. I really don’t need the extra fuel capacity of the 92 gallon main tank for...

I have 2 adult daughters now that fished with me their entire lives, one is now a Federal Fishery Officer here in British Columbia and my youngest is a Veterinarian that spent 7 chilly winters in Saskatoon at University. Hopefully there will be more grandchildren in my Seafarer in a few years...

2 footitis and 4 footitis are just terms to describe that the person is looking to get either a 2 foot or 4 foot longer boat than the one they currently have. All fun.

Thanks and yes he will be teaching me about the boat and navigation in a few years …

Here’s my first grand child Nathan sitting at the helm last week, getting ready to take grampa fishing …

I bought the 1200 Denier model from Budge covers for last winter and it’s awesome, the model is B-1221-X8-R, it was under $400 Canadian delivered to my door on Vancouver Island through Amazon

I think you‘re on the right track, Grady could produce Limited Edition production runs of those models and I bet they would command a premium price as well. If you build it they will come. I often wonder if Grady staff monitor this forum to get information on current Grady owner’s thoughts for...

Interesting, I just heard about those 3M eraser wheels, I’m assuming that they don’t damage the gelcoat?

Awesome thanks for the information, I’m definately going to pull the stripes this winter, they are in rough shape as I think the previous owner pulled crabs pots over the gunwales.

Wow I really like the look, would like to pull off the old stripes on my 1999 Seafarer and replace with these stripes. Any advice to get those old stripes off would be very much appreciated, thanks.

I have these for my Seafarer, they do help as my kicker tends to throw the boat too much to port when pulling it out of the water, these came with the boat and the Road Runner trailer

I still work for a living and therefore have to plan a lot of my days on the water as they are determined around my days off and holidays. Due to the weather, my Seafarer allows me more days on the water than a CC or DC would here in the north west, plain and simple. Plus I love the storage in a...

Well all I can say is that smart people can make dumb decisions and maybe their is a future business idea here for the smart business people… this from a happy WAC owner.
