What a great thread. Thanks so much to you guys for sharing! Currently near the end of a 7 day hotel quarantine in Bangkok, so living vicariously through you. Keep posting as you can~

I bough this solar charger and am very happy what it does. Batteries always have full charge, I leave the panel on my 228's dash where I can't see it and the wires are hidden. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046DSLFS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you want to add welt piping that Grady used around the perimeter, I have some extra in white color from my 228 rehab. I am in Thailand now until late June FYI- (Long story LOL), but can ship you some early July. Good luck with it! Lee

Yep jigsaw, just took my time with the cuts ;)

Marine grade plywood, epoxy the edges and bottom where water can deteriorate it. Then you can either paint or laminate a veneer of you choice on it to finish. I painted my with oil based enamel to match my trim. Use the old bulkhead as a template to cut the new.

Any questions come up about changing out the tanks just holler! Many members on here have done the same project.

You definitely can do this on your own. It is a messy job and you will get some battle scars though. You can have a quality tank builder like Patriot Marine in New Jersey make you a new tank, and Grady White customer service will e mail you the diagram for the build based on your hull/year...

Looking good Ky, You might have just cost me some bucks though, my hull is still naked and been sitting on the fence to add new bling after doing the same. Well done!

Wow, that really is a surprise. Marketing gurus said time to re invent the wheel.

That's an awesome build. Can't wait to see your boat on it!

#clickbait :p

Congrats Rlloyd! Great model :D I think it is hard to keep on plane below 3800. Becomes a tug of way as you found out. Hope you have many great years with your new Grady.

Really cool thread, great stuff!

Peace of mind is priceless :cool:

Best wishes for you!

You have to cut it to size FYI.

That is where I would head too. George Marine Glass Specialties (813) 926-3717

I enameled mine with paint I had left over from another project. Resin then gel coat would look the best I think. Was in the same situation as you. Nice job so far. Update us down the road!

Welcome Triton2300, I am a newer member, and others are always helpful and supportive. I never experienced a negative exchange, so I really enjoy the comradery here, and made new some friends too!! Lee

My '87 Seafarer had scuppers which were submerged much more that your, mostly from a wet transom. I decided to raise mine after consulting with Grady White. I would say you are in good shape. ;)
