So I've been told.

Post a picture of yours that you are trying to match,,, could be helpful. They had two styles of ladderback helm chairs depending on age of boat. Here's pics of old style versus new style.

I'm seeing head first, both arms above your head, chest/belly accross the edge of opening. Put padding like a folded towel across the edge. Definitely plan on replacing those seacocks and adding a handle to be able to exercise them from above. Even on my 228, I have to go in head first to reach...

I've done the eraser wheel also. Fairly easy, just keep it moving, avoid staying in one place too long, will burn the old blue stripe into the gel coat,,,,,,, Don't ask,,, o_O

First time catching them, still have a lot to learn. Bucket list thing,,, taking my own boat to the Keys and fish the Gulf Stream for Mahi.

800 RPM less on the 250 for similar speed should be a better fuel burn along with a better midrange for the 250. These boats are heavy,,, I'd rather have the 250.

Hookup,,,, you have any in progress install pics of the roller system? Curious as to your mods to the pulpit. Looks interesting.

What are you running right now?? I'm currently running a F225 and impatiently waiting on a new F250 for my 228. I'm old school and like to max out HP on my boat, others are satisfied with less HP. My theory is, it's available if needed, but you don't have to run it WOT all the time. Question...

I bought the factory net for the left box from Grady and built a divider for mine to keep stuff from shifting sides.

It's been dirty at least once since I've had it. o_O:oops:

Yep,,, what Skunk said. I've got one on mine and it will drain tank if pump isn't running, even if you have standpipe installed, backflows out the fill hose. I did rebuild mine, flipped the flap over because it had taken a set being open. Even being below water level the tank will drain down to...

Redneck ingenuity at it's finest!! It looks like it should work. Let us know how sea trial goes.

Might want to check with Fin-Addict Marine too, they were making doors at one time for Grady. I replaced mine on my 228 and it was made by them. My original was sun crazed from living in Florida before I bought it.

Check with your dealer. I replaced all mine with the newer style on my 2004 228, sourced from my dealer in Charleston SC.

Congrats on the new boat!!!! What Halfhitch said is correct. Those supports you are using are fine, look like the TH Marine Motor Stik ones. The ones Half gave you a link to might be better due to the bigger rubber snubber that it has, a little more forgiving. That tilt down bracket is only...

What style do you have? I bought new ones for my 2004 Pompanette captain's chairs last year, direct from Pompanette. $150 or so a pair, includes the metal U bracket that mounts on the seat.

I have both outriggers and planer boards on my 228. I fish for Walleye on Lake Erie and have thought about using my outriggers for that but haven't tried yet. Used my outriggers last spring down in the Keys for Mahi fishing and they worked great. They're not as high tech as the hardtop mount...

I've got older technology on my boat. Using the Sirius WM-3 weather module and it has the RCA to connect the radio to for Sirius XM on the unit. Simrad NSS12 works just fine with it. Weather overlays with no issues.

Fantastic customer service from Lumitec. Glad it's working out for you.
