Reach out to New Wire Marine down in Charleston SC. They do top notch work. Might already have a template for your dash on file.

Sorry boss,,,, that's a 226. Might want to change description. GLWS though.

Saved these pics from somewhere. Taco 280's on a 228.

Calling WMW Marine on Monday morning to check on the backing plates that get welded in. They made the hardtop, they should have the plates.

Thank you sir!!! Definitely more options with hardtop versus the gunnels.

More rod holders are doable. Just went through and upgraded mine to the new style, can always add 2 more. The rears are straight back.

Looking at the Grand Slam 280's with 15' outriggers.

Lol,,, catfish wouldn't work. Too many hangups dragging the bottom. My crew is limited, so keeping them single rigged 15' for ease of use.

That pic did show them high. I adjusted them down a notch or two after that. Still at a 45° angle, but lower.

Debating on going to hardtop outriggers versus my current gunnel mount ones. The gunnels only deploy to approximately 45° off the sides, the hardtops will deploy to 90° off the side, giving me a wider spread. Pros and cons??? Thanks.

I agree. GW Performance welding will do one custom, or go straight to the source and get a factory launcher made by WMW Marine, OEM supplier of the launchers and hardtop tubing for Grady.

He won't even talk to us now!!! He's a celebrity with his own entourage!!! I can see this happening when he boards his boat on Fontana next time. :cool: B Smoke is in da marina!!!

Probably so. I have some pieces of SeaDek on order and have been given a 5 month window. That's the way of the world nowadays it seems. Take Yamaha for my repower, going on 17-18 months and no idea when I'll see one. So 90 days is quick comparatively speaking.

Powder coating and go into production with it. :cool:

Someone stole your boat Alan,,,,, don't see a picture??

Yeah, we know all this. Smoky is just experimenting.

The only way to truly know if you're in the right location is get out and run it. As you and I have discussed, mine is in the same location as yours is now. I've never blown out and get good performance in this location. My boat was setup by PO and he ran her in the GOM chop. I'm sure if it...

Yep, same as mine. Either buy new from Pompanette or keep watching ebay. I bought one off ebay for the cushions only, then relisted it and sold it.

Yup, agree with others. Surprising how many fish will fit in the fish box behind captain's chair on my 228. These are multiple trips but some good/fat fish that all fit.

I need to do this trip as well. Bucket list trip.
