5-7% is the range for tongue weight...I'm guessing the boat weighs 8-9K so I'd be looking at a tongue weight in the 600 lb area. x2 on calling GW...they will email you the PDF for the trailer specs.

Strikezone...yours is the second 225 OX that I have heard about that has blown....not sure why the other one blew but it is rumored to be a similar situation (water in the cylinder)...given that my "new to me" 225 has the same motor, I want to keep an eye on it. To the OP - I owned a 228 with a...

Strikezone, any idea why it blew?

Koby...welcome to the forum...you picked up a good one. Looks eerily similar to mine... :grin:

If you have a 192, the factory (Great Lakes Boat Tops) bow cover (aka Tonneau) covers are still available....saw them on eBay just the other day for about $150. I'm getting a custom cockpit cover for my 225 made and a matching bow cover....total bill for both will be under $1K

Find a local vendor....they will make the same cushions as you would get from GW and they will cost you less $$$ Congratulations on the new boat....

Even on the 22', the term "usable" is relative....I'm 6'3 and a few more lbs then you....it wasn't real comfortable. I found the cabin became a storage closet.....a good bimini worked just as well to keep folks out of the sun....hence my move to a DC....

A move up from an Overnighter to a Seafarer will net you the Sea V2 hull....marginally more space in the cabin....more space in the cockpit...and depending on whether you go 226 or 228 - the bracket. It's not too big for Lanier...I've run a 208, 223, 225 (twice), 226 and 228....when you get the...

From the pics they have your motor mounted in the lowest hole...I'd raise it up one hole and see what you get...

Generally speaking, there are far more on the east coast and south....here's a few from Boat Trader and Craigslist.... http://www.boattrader.com/listing/2006- ... 228-649355 http://www.boattrader.com/listing/2001- ... -102494336 http://okaloosa.craigslist.org/bod/4972275400.html...

Congratulations....great looking boat....

Re: Would anyone be interested in having starboard work done Jason, Sent you an email on Monday....did you receive it? Thanks...

Welcome to the forum... Assuming it was stored inside, the hull is probably OK. I would have the fuel tank drained....replace the lines...and refill with fresh fuel before I did anything. For the motor, I would do the following... Remove spark plugs...rotate flywheel to make sure nothing is...

Welcome to the forum. The 228 was redesigned in 1998 and continues as essentially the same boat as today. There have been some minor color revisions, cushion changes, and a relocation of the switch panel, but everything else is the same. From 1998-2001 they were usually rigged with either a...

Pennzoil XLF for the oil...have used it for years...it's half the cost of a gallon of Yamalube and - in my experience on multiple motors - smokes less. E-Free fuel if you can find it...I personally am diligent with Ring-Free and either Sta-Bil or Pri-G with whatever fuel I can find.

I had an '86 190 Tournament...the same thing happened except it was to the in floor storage compartment/cooler. We removed the hatch, cut and epoxied a piece of marine plywood to the back of it, and glassed over it. Worked perfectly except the cover became heavy. I had to add a gas strut to...

Are you talking about the bushings on the posts? Or the sliders that allow the seats to move forward and back? Here is the bushing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GRADY-WHITE-OEM ... 05&vxp=mtr Here are the sliders: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GRADY-WHITE-BOA ... 37&vxp=mtr

If you are buying new - current model year - you will have to go to Spellman's. GW protects their dealers by requiring new boats to be sold through dealers who cover a specified geographic area. If you order one, I would guess 8-10 weeks...maybe longer. Another dealer may have one in stock...

Re: How Do You Gents Replace Your Fuel Water Separator? Yama I fire the motor up on the hose first....let it run for a bit, then shut it off and change the filter. After the filter is changed, I prime the bulb and fire it back up and let it idle for a few minutes...this ensures that the...

Re: Would anyone be interested in having starboard work done Looking to have a new electronics panel made for the new to me 225 Tournament. I have the measurements and can send them to you...PM me your email address. Looking to use 1/2" starboard in Seafoam or whatever the matching GW color is.
