    Where do you guy your 5200 sealant?

    Having used 5200 and 4200 quite a bit on my boat, I prefer the 5200. For your application I would get the quick set (fast cure) that's in your link. I never had issues others spoke of on the removal of it when I needed to. Maybe just lucky, dunno. I get mine at West Marine, for convenience and...

    Used to keep my boat down there in the winter 30 years back. Jigging for cod is fun except I lost a lot of tackle.

    Roger that after pulling and totally redoing both deck plates my on my 228 a few years back. As far as PIA jobs it wasn't too bad except for the epoxy fumes. I used marine grade plywood and cut squares to size. Good job!

    228 Vent Window Replacement

    Update-Called Taylor Made, and then called Grady to get the part number. The boat is too old so there was no way for Taylor to locate the exact parts I need, but the person I spoke with referred me to George at Marine Glass Specialties in Florida. They bought a lot of older Grady Parts from...

    228 Vent Window Replacement

    I had siliconed shut the passenger vent window of my '87 228 a few years ago. The PO had changed out the vent arm that was not OEM it didn't close. I decided to cut it open and get it working again. Part of OCD I guess o_O I had the original glass cut down a hair to fit the aluminum frame this...

    228 Teak Trim Painted

    Will go that route if the teak doesn't hold up. One thing I do like about the painted teak vs starboard is the wood grain and contours I can still see. Thanks for the suggestion ;)

    228 Teak Trim Painted

    Well thank you! Yeah, I got tired of staring at that old teak. Plus I keep my boat outside uncovered. Nice thing the painting can be done at home. My boat is an hour away.

    228 Teak Trim Painted

    Thank you Ky. I left the backs of the wood trim untreated teak, hoping whatever oil is left in the wood mitigates there. It's just nice having trim on again. That paint I used becomes hard as a rock when fully cured in 2 weeks, and impervious to weather according to manufacturer. Anyway, this...

    228 Teak Trim Painted

    Howdy Folks, I took off my 1987 teak trim last season as it was broken in a few places, and horribly weathered. Got used to no trim for a while then I tried to use teak oil on the rear rod holders bracket, and it looked horrible after I tried that route. I decided to paint it. Okay, so there...
