Unless you plan to add a kicker merely as a backup for getting back to the dock in event of some main motor issue, you'll definitely want some way to link the kicker to your main for steering purposes I've had a kicker mounted on my last two Gradys. Old Grady was a 204c Overnighter with a...

Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when you restore that old Seafarer: 1) That hull was designed for an engine weighing no more than 400 lb. Regardless of whether you go with a V6 4-stroke or 2-stroke, your weight distribution is going to be greatly changed vs the original design...

Re: 1991 Seafarer 228g-Should stern/scuppers be so low in wa Yep that's kind of low. My bracket is not submerged like that either. If you like the boat I suggest pulling her out and seeing if the bracket is full of water. You way want to check the transom for wetness too but I am leaning...

Re: 1991 Seafarer 228g-Should stern/scuppers be so low in wa Hello, I have a 99 228 with a Yamaha 0x66 225 but with out the kicker and it does not sit any where as low as the one you are looking at. The fresh water tank in mine is up front under the port seat. I also have double batteries in...

Steve: I had in my files somewhere regarding a bracket for a kicker on the Seafarer. A gentlemen from the west coast sent me photos of his. It was the best set up I have ever seen. If you want photos let me know and will send. Dwain

Any 228 Grady owners with a full swimplatform mounted a kicker to their boat . I run in the great lakes and need to get down to 1.6-1.8 , Going to use bags this year but would like to explore other option. Would really appreciate anyone that has put a kicker on a boat like mine , the pros and...

Fish Hog , my home port is Turtle Creek close to Port Clinton, I have been to Huron , Grady White dealer many times , talked to the owner last month about adding a Yaham 9.9 kicker to my 228 Seafarer, he told me in his opinion , that is the worst thing a Grady White owner can do, said it...

I raised the transom height 3" on my 22' Seafarer when I rebuilt the transom. here is a link to project. http://forums.bateau2.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19949 The first 3-4 pages deals with most of the work. I'll tell you another thing too Jason, about which style boat is safer offshore. Years...

I have a 1988 Seafarer with the bracket and a honda 225 4 stroke. There has never been drainage problems. The 1988 model could be equipped with twin 140s which weigh more than a single 225 4 stroke (guessing). Something else to think about: we had a 9.9hp kicker mounted on the back when it...

i have a 1988 seafarer with a bracket. This boat was designed to have up to twin 140s on the back (which is heavier than a 4s 200 hp). I put a 225 honda 4 stroke on in 2003 and love it. It is about 100lbs heavier, but I removed the oil tank and 9.9hp kicker outboard i had on the back. So in...

Just bought a 1995 Grady 228 (closed transom with bracket) with a 225 hp Johnson Ocean Runner (carbed) on it. I've made two typical trips offshore now in average seas and got right at 1.7 mpg both times. Just checking with the team to see if this seems reasonable or not. Boat has 146 gallons...

ADDING A TROLLING MOTOR Actually I also am about to add a trolling motor (Johnson 15 hp two-stroke) to my 82 Seafarer 226. I already cut the dash and I am about to add a dual binnacle control so I can control it from the helm. I was going to mount the engine on the driver's side and now...

I agree with Bill. I couldn't go the Gulfstream because my F150 wouldn't tow it and it wouldn't fit in my side yard (bigger beam). We chose the Seafarer 228 over the 208 because of the added room and closed-in cockpit (motor is on a bracket). The 208 has the cut-a-way transom and we felt the...

I have a 228G Seafarer and was considering adding a kicker motor for some extra security. My motor is a 200hp yamaha 2 stroke (1994 w/ 900 hours). It is running good now, but broke down on me last summer when I was 13 miles offshore. Towboat saved the day (yes, I had the insurance) but I...
