I get that. Yes, in no real hurry, F225 runs fine, just upgrading because I can, not because I need to. So the wait is a non issue for me.

Why would you paint it?? Does it sit in the water long term? If it's a trailer boat, no need to paint it. Love a clean look for the bottom of trailer boats.

OK, let's go with ones I trust. I was in the marine repair industry myself, I know the dealers close to me and their techs. I'll pass.

Went to my dealer in Charleston for my re-stripe. She ordered everything through Grady-White. Went from '04 graphics to '21 graphics. Cleaned it up nicely. 2004 graphics on top, 2021 graphics on bottom.

No Suzuki dealers around me. Guess I could go Mercury. With Yamaha, I can find a dealer/service, pretty much anywhere I go.

Yours is acceptable Halfhitch. Here ya go. :cool:

IF my new F250xcb would ever come in,, my 2004 F225 will be for sale. 2 years next month waiting for it. I'll keep ya'll in mind. Good luck with the search.

Let me check when I get home, either 60 or 72. I know the adjustable ones are 72", but they aren't in that pic.

I have multiple socks that I've been using for years with my 228. Wind dictates sock size. Only my newest socks have adjustable ends to regulate how much water can pass thru.

Well aware of that. Where they are mounted, the adjustments still wouldn't allow for vertical orientation without a lean either out or in. The teeth on the ratchet just wouldn't hit where I needed them to. Probably could have moved the mount inboard some to make it work, but wanted the most...

Depending on the year Seafarer you have, the tops will be different. The location can dictate needing shims also. The older ones have a near flat top. I think the change came between 2000/2001 to the more rounded, rolled off top. Believe me, if I didn't have to use them, I wouldn't. My OCD kicks...

I haven't got the holes filled yet on the gunnels. That will happen this winter. I have an excellent fiberglass guy in SC that will fill them in and then drill holes a little forward of these and install 2 more rod holders to use with the outriggers. Here's when I was installing them, then the...

Complete gunnel mount Taco setup. Bases, inserts and 15', 1-1/8" poles. Bases and inserts came with my boat in 2017, bought the poles new in 2019, used once, decided to go hardtop mount GS-280's. $500 plus shipping. New, this setup would run over $1000 with tax.

Hmm, I'm out. All I get out of this is a 330 Express running a 425. Sorry.

Not real impressed. If the 228 came back and was 8.5 wide, I'd be more impressed.

You're going in the right direction with EOH on all 4. Ecodiesel should serve you well.

Full size truck or Dakota size? Ecodiesel is a good motor, Friend has one in full size truck. Do you have brakes on both axles of trailer? You also need to have your load level for the surge actuator to work properly. If truck sags when trailer is attached, you need to raise your hitch ball for...

218 WA with bracket,,,, split the difference.

Don't know if it's the gray or what,,, but that has a very clean,sharp, look to it. I've seen the teak color and it doesn't have the clean look like this one. Maybe it's because the gray has more of a contrast than the teak, don't know? Strictly my perception. Either one would work though...

Lower unit is getting re-sealed, so it's in the garage on my stand. I like the stealth idea though. Started with upper seals leaking a little, replaced those, then prop shaft seal leaks, so waiting on those to come in. I knew better,,,, should have ordered all the seals at the same time.
