Hello all, My name is Steve. Home town of Black Mountain NC. Grady White was the gold standard growing up on the coast of Mass..Fast forward to retirement and I now have a 228 Seafarer bought in October. I love it. Let me say it again, I love it. Thanks to everyone on this Forum for all...

All, I have a '94 Seafarer 22 and have upgraded the original Yamaha 225 HPDI to a 2010 Suzuki 250 four-stroke. In doing so, I have also added significant weight to the stern of the boat. To start with, the boat has an 8hp 4 stroke kicker on a manually adjustable bracket, located on the starboard...

So that Seastar looks interesting. Some questions. I mounted my kicker on the starboard side, will this work on that side? Is there anything special required of the kicker (I have a 2020 suzuki)? Does it make it harder to steer because you are moving two motors? Thanks.

Sad to put the boat away this year but it happens every year. It rains a ton here so I always cover my boat to keep it dry and clean from falling leaves. This is my 2nd Budge cover from Amazon and I've been happy with both. Sold previous cover with my old boat after 5 years of use. For around...

That looks fine. I got mine through my dealer, I believe a guy in Oregon makes them. You could call my dealer at (408) 371-6681 and ask them who the guy is. BTW, I mounted my kicker on the starboard side because the batteries and ~40 pounds of downrigger balls live on the port side. It works...

I looking at a kicker bracket for my seafarer 228 that mounts to my swim platform. Armstrong makes this at a reasonable price any one has any experience with this bracket? Thanks

My 92 seafarer has a tiller mount on starboard, two batteries on starboard, helmet to starboard, question is,won't she lay over with all this weight,I saw original pictures of this boat with the dealer mounted yamaha kicker,its gone but I got a 9.9. Honda I'd like to use,any thoughts.....

You are about to buy and you don't know the HP of the motor? Have you seen the boat? The bracket you are talking about it will be the same as in smokys boat without the swim platform as far as I know . I have a 2013 model, they are different, longer , wider and all aluminum including the...

Hi folks, I have: 93 Tournament 20 foot. Close to buying: 95 Seafarer 22 with offshore bracket - it is the thinner V-type that just goes back to the motor with kicker off hull. Yamaha 4 strokes all around, not exactly sure of HP of main engine as he already pulled ad, we are that close to a...

I just ordered a kicker motor bracket to mount a Yamaha T8 on my 228's swim platform. My ladder is mounted on the port side also so I will be mounting kicker on starboard side. The main reason for mounting kicker on port side is to balance weight. (Boat driver and kicker on same side) I was...

I can understand the reason you want to install a new engine, I'm the same I fish offshore mostly off Sydney Australia, up to 30+ miles off shore I chase marlin and tuna. I want to have a reliable engine to get me back as I don't use a kicker these days, they get in the way when fighting big...

Wont find very many seafarers with twins, especially not with a bracket. I want to say the extra wide notched transom for twins stopped in '92, the last year before the transition to the new SeaVee2 hull design. Most of the new 4 strokes will idle down enough to troll for kings, i use a kicker...

Thank you for all of the advice! The water test went very well. A few follow-up questions below if any of you have the time or inclination. - I think the boat has a 15" pitch prop vs, 17". With three of us on board and half a tank it got up to 6200 rpm in flat water. Should I swap out the...

Everyone in the PNW uses a kicker motor to fish salmon. The main will not troll slow enough. Also why put the hours on your main. I may troll for 8 hours a day and use the main for 1. Plus the kicker is our get home safe motor. No need for twins especially since a single twin can't push past...

Not currently a GW owner, but am thinking about purchasing one, so I did some research and found this site. Here's a bit of my boating history: my dad bought a brand new 1970 16' Seaswirl with a 90HP Johnson when I was 7 years old. We fished the heck out of that boat and even made frequent...

Hello, on the new Grady which fixed bracket did you use?

Ok, I currently own an 89 Seafarer 226 with the open transom with an 87 Johnson 225. Love the boat but I'm considering a 24 OFFSHORE on a bracket with twins. The motors are tired but thinking of just switching motors and using my 225. Question is can I use a 25 single on the 24 OFFSHORE in...

I had a kicker om my Seafarer years ago, it was a 9.9 it worked great. The key will be the bracket you put on her. I agree with Fishtails, peace of mind is a good thing.

Re: 1990 Seafarer with 4 cycle Yamaha 225 sits low in the wa I bought an 83 seafarer and it sat low with the 225 2 stroke and kicker motor on the back. I removed all of that...removed fuel tank and located in forward compartment. I am also redoing the transom to full height and installing a...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I've pretty much decided on the Seafarer. It's probably going to suite me the best. Though my wife doesn't see the benefit in spending almost 25k more for 2 extra feet, she's behind me on this, so I'm over the hurdle. Right now with a 24 and 19 Grady, I got...
