No name on the boat yet... still thinking about what I want to name her.

Couldn't tell you about your particular application and if it's the same or similar to the one on my boat, but this Perko 0540 looks almost identical to mine... or at least from the pictures it does. https://www.perko.com/catalog/spare_parts/1109/replacement_cap_-_0540_style/...

Same here. I bought my Garmin 943xsv and transducer from them last year as they did a price match, free shipping and didn't charge sales tax. Which made the price several hundred dollars less than anywhere else. I've purchased items from them multiple times over the years and can't recall ever...

Indeed. We went out fishing on Monday morning and we were getting multiple double hits and it was almost chaotic, though obviously a fun bit of chaos. My parents and I have a beach cabin on the western part of Whidbey Island, so I'll fish from my mooring buoy down to the green buoy near the...

Awesome! Did you have any luck fishing? I went over the weekend, got two silvers within about 20 minutes on Saturday, got a single pink on Sunday and then went out fishing with my uncle yesterday morning where we limited out with a silver and 3 pinks. Lost a couple of silvers at the boat and...

I have a Yamaha F225 with a stainless steel 3 bladed prop on it, though I don't know the specs offhand, but I'm pretty happy with the performance on it. The boat will do almost 45 mph with perfect or optimal conditions and also cruise in the low to mid 20's mph range while burning 7-8 gph of...

Depends on the brand and size of motor that you want to go with. Your year and model of boat have a maximum horsepower rating of 250 hp, so it depends if you want to stay with 225 hp or bump up to 250 hp. Mercury is generally always the lightest outboard, their 225 hp outboards are anywhere from...

Does the top part of the bunk that the boat rests on have the staples like as can be seen in the picture? If so, I'd think that could be the culprit as to why it's getting scratched up, especially if the staples are sitting above the rubber or plastic on the bunks.

I think that the 250 hp outboard is going to be a "better" fit for the 228 Seafarer as opposed to a 225 hp outboard, which just seems to be slightly underpowered in the mid range. Here's the performance bulletin from GW on my vintage of boat with a Yamaha F225 on it, though obviously those...

Looks potentially like a Moonlite Marine hatch latch part number 0100-2 which they have them on eBay as well as a handful of other sites like Zoro. Though, I've honestly not used that website before. Check the Moonlite Marine website and see what length you have, as though it appears they have...

Great news. Hopefully the boat is everything you want and more, and that it's in the condition described to be in. Good luck and post an update as well as some pictures in the General Discussion part of the forum when you get a chance.

Alright… good chat as per usual :p:D

It appears as though you’ve deleted your comment but likewise about you being on my ignore list as you admittedly said your posts are oftentimes opinions or hearsay as opposed to facts. Either way, I didn’t disagree with myself but from what the OP mentioned before, it sounds as though they had...

Agreed. For the price, I would think they should be available with gold plating, real bits of unicorn dust or something similar.

A few things here. It sounds as though the OP, as mentioned above, hired a surveyor to look over the boat and then BM did a compression check as well as examined the outboards. At least that’s what it sounds like from above, though I could obviously be wrong. Second, what’s suspicious about the...

I’d definitely make sure it’s a third party surveying company and not just BM telling you what you want to hear, etc. I’m not sure if they’re a Yamaha certified dealer but if they aren’t, I’d definitely have a Yamaha tech check out the motors. I’m sure with only a 100 ish hours on the motor that...

It's all well and good looking at the weather and wind reports before going out, but the weather can also change quite quickly and without much notice. There were a few times where I'd be coming back from fishing in Edmonds with my 21' Arima, of which yes I know that a 21' Arima is quite...

Did Bayside Marine do the survey or just the compression check? If the answer is Yes to either question, and especially if it's Yes to both questions, I'd hire an independent surveyor to double check everything and make sure they're being honest and forthright. An independent survey can be done...

Any discounts on their site for being a GG member?

I was looking for my 228 Seafarer for just over a year before finally finding my boat and in that time, I stepped foot on a 232 Gulfstream and realized that it wasn't the boat for me for a couple of different reasons. That being said, I've never been one to buy something brand new as the boat is...
