Perhaps I need to look for something else then, all my boat does is fish. I can imagine going out whale watching but probably less than once a year. Compared to dozens for fishing trips. The reason I was looking at seadek is I want the cushion effect that it gives, I have screwed up feet.

They are doing the install. Yes on teak look. On cleaning, why is it longer? I leave my boat outside and it gets full of leaves and dirt, I was thinking it would show dirt less.

So I got a quote for doing this. I'm doing the whole cockpit, swim platform, the walk around in 13mm (about 1/2") and doing the rear seats and the fish boxes in 20mm (I think, it's about 3/4"). $6500. Seems pricey but I don't know. I heard about people doing Seadek here or one of the other...

I've heard the same thing, Garmin for most stuff, Airmar (spelling?) for transducer, not Garmin for AP.

I'll go look but I was told there was no wood anywhere in that 2020 228. My climate probably helps a little but maybe not enough. Ranges from about 35 to 110, is that enough that I need to worry?

Thanks, I actually followed all of that, I'm a long time wood worker (hobbiest but skilled, Unisaw, Minimax, Delta DJ-20, Powermatic lathe, the big one, etc.) I'll go look at mine and see if I can raise them rather than remove material. On expansion, I believe my 2020 has no wood, it's all...

I was using those toe rails and thinking about what adding some seadek would do to those, I was leaning towards thicker because I want more padding for my crappy feet. But more padding means less space for toes under that rail. So anyone know if they are movable?

After talking to another 228 owner, I'm less excited about outriggers. I can get some outrigger rod holders that will do more or less the same thing, use those in the forward holders and a straight back in the aft rod holder, and put 5 rocket launchers on the hardtop and do a long line in the...

Finesse indeed. I did the cordless drill thing and had two problems. The edge of the round brush cut into my cushions (my fault obviously but it happened really fast) and the water got into the drill and toasted the switch.

Good to see you in this thread, hope to have you on my boat some day. Here is hoping 2021 treats all of us better. And here is hoping more of us get together when this COVID is over. If we have a tough time ahead of us, we've got this forum. I've learned a lot from you guys.

Talked to another dude, he has me convinced I want to go for tuna next summer. So far as I know, outrigger mounts are not included on a 228. Does anyone have a pointer to getting outriggers on a 228? For those of you fishing for albacore, how many lines do you run? The Taco outriggers seem...

Hey Mike, I've been in your boat, poked at it to see what they have changed. They still do the stupid flip up door as of 2020. That's a great install! Nice work by Mark and team at Johnson Hicks. They did mine as well, spendy, but they do it right. I talked to Mark and he twigged to the fact...

Welcome. I predict you'll like it here, nice people, this place is big enough that you can get questions answered and small enough that people are nice to each other. I'm pretty new as well and I love this forum. Way better than the hull truth, that place has info but has a lot of keyboard...

I've been looking around. For me, it seems like smaller is better, I'm always hauling a bunch of stuff to the boat, a pack that I can sling over my shoulder is key. When I could still fly fish this was my jam: http://mcvoy.com/lm/pat-sling.jpg I'm thinking about something like that. Isn't...

Just wanted to pop in and thank all of you for all of your help in what should have been a completely crappy year. I had a lot of fun, made a lot of mistakes, made some friends, learned a lot from you all. So thanks for making 2020 a pretty decent year! And if you are lurking and thinking...

I was going to ask you privately but this seems like something that other people might want to know, what's the bag you use, how big is it? I like your routine, I like that you can carry or shoulder strap, I'm always going out with bags that I have to carry, so shoulder strap is nice. I'll add...

Yeah, I won't make that mistake again, "where is the truck key" is now on the mental check list. On a different note, I now understand why my fishing buddy doesn't have a written check list. It's just too much to write down, I started with written lists and quickly stopped updating them. You...

We can boat but much of the fishing is shut down from Jan 1 to Apr 1. Crab is open, halibut is open, sole is open. So I will fish but not as often.

Went out to pull my crab pots, easy launch out of Moss Landing, kind of a rough ride out. I don't know if it was here or coastside where someone said "when I let other people drive my boat, we get beat up more". I'm starting to be able to predict when the boat will bang, not always, I get...

That is what I am doing but I am old, 58, I don't want bad shit. I am down for the fishing.
