    228 Kicker Placement

    Mine is on starboard side. Seems like the overwhelming majority of 228 owners place them on the port side for weight distribution. My swim step is on the port side too. I like mine where it is, but adds that 100lbs to the driver's side. Best thing I added was a electronic throttle control at...

    2 questions about reenforcing the rod holders

    If your 228 is config with the same floatation foam like mine, you have to excavate it underneath the gunwale if you want to spread the load out with whatever you use. Was a PIA to remove the foam, but doable. That's if I am understanding what you are attempting correctly. I added 2 support...

    Dream to retire with my boat and fish....

    As others said, Keys are hard to beat. My folks retired to Naples, so I am used to going there. My only added suggestion is spend some time there first. You won't believe what an impact humidity, mosquitos, and houseflies might have on you until you take her for a spin. There is a reason West...

    1994 Seafarer 226

    Well, If the scupper height is original, then yea it can get wet with a 4 stroke. I raised mine so it's bone dry back there no matter how many people are with me.

    Seafarer seats

    On the bushings, They are pretty universal. I replaced my entire swivel/slides with Springfield bases 2 years ago, and the bushing on one of them was out of spec. I went to West Marine and bought a Todd seat bushing and used it instead while Amazon sent me a replacement in the mail, so now I...

    Sharing...

    Cool story! I have a Nespresso machine after some Seattle friends told that's what I am missing in my life. Of course was ordering the top 2 or 3 strongest capsules o_O for maximum effect. Got to be SO expensive for those suckers, I now empty a packet of Starbucks Via instant coffee (also...

    Your Closest Call?

    Amamola, You are correct I forgot my local geography, I was just south of Pillar Point boat launch in HMB. There is a sand crescent shaped beach maybe a 1/4 mile long, Dunes beach as I recall. That's were all the fun happened. Yeah I wouldn't be here if I tried that in Pacifica. Best, Lee

    Your Closest Call?

    Holy crap! As in my pants!! Doubt I could shake that one off magicalbill. Speaking of Lee, dumbest thing I did was not checking gas level pre-launch in my 16' Arima back in '87. I went fishing for rock cod out of Half Moon Bay Ca, and coming back in she stalled. I was near the beach at Pacifica...
