    Repowered 2001 Seafarer 228 - First Water Test

    Drifter, my 228 starts to level at 16mph, and by 18mph I am on plane. My motor is only 200 HP, and high altitude degrades performance, so I am also curious what others will say.

    bow lifting eye moving up & down

    My understanding on the older Seafarers is they didn't use stainless for the supports. I was advised by Grady customer service to forget about using the cleat topside for lifting, and replace the bow eye. I bought one from West Marine, then got a heavy duty v shaped brace from Home Depot...

    Stereo Replacement

    Hinmo, Fusion head and JL Audio Speakers is what I went with, but no way to get all that for $500. West Marine had both Fusion and JL Audio speaker as demos in store. Was easy to hear the sound difference (was actually surprised). Fusion sounded a bit muted/boxey, and JL Audio were very...

    Is this one time use stuff?

    Bloodweiser, Maybe a month or two has been my experience. I take a nitrile glove and wrap it as tight as I can with a beefy rubber band around the tip. When you use it again, you likely have some dried up at the tip, which can be excavated by a paper clip, screw, etc. After a longer time period...
