Guess the reason is piece of mind. General rule,,, 5 years is a long time for trailer tires, and I'm going by the manufacture date on the tire, not the actual time on trailer. Combine actual miles, exposure to the elements and sitting in storage for extended periods of time, and the tire does...

Went and had new tires put on my rims. Goodyear Endurance. 5 years on the first set and not an issue one. Spares never touched the ground. Highly recommend these tires. Made in the USA !!

Your call. Mine does. If it's got a place for one, I'd put one on it, won't hurt anything.

Took my flap out and it measures right at 1.5" My center thru hull is livewell drain.

People amaze me sometimes. With the time and money invested in the plastic ones and drilling 4 new holes,,, why would you not just order new flaps from Perko and fix the existing ones?? Go 4200,, as some day down the road you may want to do a complete replacement of your scuppers and 5200 would...

Good use of space. Lot of storage there. We'll done.

For what it's worth. This is my setup. Top hole, bracket. Third hole, motor. This is on a 2004 F225 on my 2004 228. From my understanding, your setup is per factory spec.

Agree with glacierbaze. With that load and a 150,,, sounds like you are propped correct. You and half a tank, you should have no problem hitting 5800-6000 RPM, trimmed out correctly.

On board battery chargers. 2 - two bank chargers.

Got my SeaDek pieces installed last weekend. Very pleased with the outcome.

Clean install. It would never work on mine, as some of the ramps I frequent, I barely clear my anchor now,,, couldn't imagine trying to get off the trailer with the anchor hanging below that.

Picked mine up from dealer. 11-547 is part number.

I definitely understand that.

Since you're having the cover done custom, use whichever snaps work for you. There would be no right or wrong way to do it.

We are ready to troll !!!!!

Started my install. Hardtop is only 1/4" thick. Will be using the inserts for all bolts along with a backing plate underneath. Will seal the core with epoxy before mounting the outrigger base. This was a trial fit on starboard side. Picked up machine screws, nylon washers and nylock nuts to...

First off,,,, I'm impressed that you're still around at your age!!! Secondly,,, the 228 is a very versatile boat IMO. I trailer from Kentucky down to your neck of the woods often and fish Santee and have been offshore out of Charleston many times. Went to the Keys last year and thoroughly...

Cleaned it up nicely.

I'll throw Loadmaster in the mix which is what my 228 resides on,,, multiple miles up and down the road from Kentucky,,, Marathon Florida in the Keys to Lakeside Marblehead in Ohio fishing Lake Erie,, and points in between. I've pulled Shoreland'r under my Trophy 2002, then moved to a Road King...

I picked up a shim kit for them. West Marine has them.
