Rods are the hub per say. They surround the splined center section. They saved them and I could clearly see the ones that were damaged. I haven't run the boat yet and at this point, probably won't until the end of October for my SC trip. I'll have my Yamaha 3 blade with me incase I need to...

My Yamaha dealer in Charleston replaced my rods in my PT 4 blade because I had vibration at idle speed. Haven't tried out the new rods yet, but seemed like an easy replacement.

Lucky,,,, I'd be afraid this stuff would get funky with the slime with our boys trip catfishing for a week? Otherwise, I like the idea.

PO that had boat before I bought it, put a pilates ball inside then inflated it. I take it out ever so often and clean out the inside. Still using the ball.

Looks like a nice ride. Location might be helpful for prospective buyers? Is it listed elsewhere with more pictures?

I had copied this from another post,,,

Much better. They pair nicely with the JL's in my steps.

Congrats on the new ride!! The 282 is my sixfootitis boat if I'm ever able to move to the coast, although it may be hard to let my 228 go.

Right at $1200

We need overall pics!! What you've posted looks nice.

Here's my switch panel New Wire did for my 228 a few months back.

I've got same setup with my Maui Jim's as Halfhitch.

I'm a Maui Jim fan personally. I have prescription Peahi with gray lenses that have worked well for me. I started out with Costas but switched when I tried on a pair of Maui's,, never went back to Costas.

Running Simrad on my 228, been happy with it. Have the Halo 24 radar also, no issues. It's mounted on a Battlewagon pedestal with 4° down angle, no problem spotting targets.

I think he's on a different level than me. Can't compete. The dual fake hood scoops and wing on back of the cab really sets it off nicely.

I'll settle with a kinda cool kid then. I didn't want a white motor actually. The Yamaha blue goes with the Grady-White gunmetal blue in the logo, just needed the chrome letters on the motor. Here's the finished pics.

Must be age or a touch of redneck or both, but I've always liked the new Yamaha's with the chrome letters. Only way to get that from factory is with the electronic steering, which I don't have. I had my dealer order all the chrome pieces and I'm changing over myself. Should go well with my new...

My tow is 17 hours and 1,121 miles, one way. I wanted the best tires I could get, that's why I went with the Goodyear Endurance

Same with luckydude,,, love my 228.

You can always buddy boat with a friend and venture further out each time. That way you have a backup boat. As long as you know your boat and feel it's running top notch, no reason to fret. If you're not sure of it, then you're not ready to go. Again, EPIRB, handheld VHF, life jackets,,, plan...
