This chart shows the proper pressure Goodyear recommends to run in their Endurance tires depending on the load per tire. Running max pressure that is indicated on the sidewall when the actual load is far less only subjects the trailer and its suspension to excessive shock loads that are...

I want to correct an erroneous post I made on here the other day. I mistakenly identified that small external hooded vent on the outside of the hull as the fuel tank vent. It is the vent for the toilet tank. The fuel tank vent does not have a vertical loop since it is protected from splash by...

Fuel tank.

Buy the smallest diameter and smallest pitch prop you can find for one of your motors and just switch props on the center motor when you want to troll for the day. It's a 10 minute job. You can still make decent speed to travel to your fishing area with the other two pushing.

I agree, now that the cat is out of the bag how can a guy "never mind"?

Today I was poking around in a 228 Seafarer that I bought recently, just looking to see what has been done over the years both good and bad. So far, I have been pleased that not much has been messed with. It has been let go as far as not keeping up with the little maintenance items but nothing...

You do know that once you contract Grady fever it is uncurable don't you?

I think you are right about the boiling water. The film of paint peels of easily once the paint remover works on it for a few minutes. I tried to upload a short video but I'm not smart enough. I robbed a couple of stills out of the video.

I couldn't find that exact brand but after reading about its attributes, and being water based, I found some similar stuff here. I tried it and I took a chance and used some citrus also figuring if I didn't leave it too long and flushed good with water I should be OK. They both worked. They...

Thanks Trapper. I will look into that. I was about to try Glacierbaze idea of using a pressure washer. If I turn down the pressure to the lowest pressure setting, maybe it won't destroy them. I will get some of that EZ Strip first and give that a go.

Have you checked the fluid level?

You guys are making me sad.:(

Thanks Dennis, I agree about the hard part being not screwing up the vinyl. I will get some paint thinner and try your suggestion. When I saw the cushions, I could've cried but the boat was in decent shape, so I wasn't going to let the vinyl condition wreck the deal, even though it is gonna...

I Recently purchased a 2004, 228. The previous owner who lives in S. Florida wisely kept the cushions in his garage when not in use in an effort to keep the mold/mildew at bay. The day before I was to come over for a sea trial the owner was working so he ask his wife to get the cushions out and...

I owned a nice 205 for a few years and the reason I sold it was the wife and the female guests we had aboard could not get into the port console area that GW calls a Head. Any person older than 10 years old will not like it. The boat handles very good as long as extra passengers are positioned...

Yeah, I agree, I was just musing on the subject. I have recently seen a TV show about large 3D printing and it's amazing what they are doing now. Of course a one-off item would be an expensive exercise. I did find out that for the experience person in that field, you can rent printer time for...

I wonder if there is a 3D printer that can handle a product that is strong enough to stand the forces that it would be subjected to. It would be an easy way to get an exact replica size wise. Getting an acceptable finish would probably be the biggest challenge.

For those that have 228 Seafarer, it takes 16 inch. At least that is what is on my 2004. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0047XXVC0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Put a straight edge on it in several places and measure how deep the Hog is. I believe Gradys hull bottom in that model is solid fiberglass. For it to be compromised like what you are saying it was probably sitting on a trailer for years with bunks not extending to the transom Or sitting for...
