    Wanted: Seafarer 228 in SoCal

    I zoomed in on pics. Same boat, just added tower and changed registration from TX to CA. If you look at TX pic zoomed in, you can see the same anchor and the same LED light on front edge of the top. The tower pic is the same top but with a platform to stand on with the tower and Cali registration.

    PSA: Great price on a 4 Powertech prop

    Yep, I agree. Running same on my 228 with F225 and this prop does great. Good price. It will also go on the F250, so anyone looking to go 4 blade, good opportunity.

    That one and a 2005 282 for $30K are both scams, both in Cali.

    On mine, I used a blend of Simple Green, bleach, and Dawn dish washing liquid for the first washing, after that I just spray down with Simple Green and hose it out.

    The yellow handle or the extension? The extension is factory. I see them show up on Ebay from time to time or you can probably order from Grady-White. The yellow handle is on the seacock itself.

    You did good Smoky!! Appreciate the kind words of inspiration about my bilge. When I brought her home in '17 from her previous home in Florida, she was crying out for some love. Checking the pumps and cleaning the bilge was first on my list, to establish a baseline for what I had just bought...

    New motor or say goodbye

    Good decision! You may be in for a wait though. I'm repowering my 228 and been waiting on a new F250 since last September. I may see it by December of this year they say. I know my boat from top to bottom and I've pretty much redone it completely. It suits my needs well, so to me it's worth a...

    Wreck anchor for Grady 228

    This is what I have. Grappler Anchor. 5.5 pounds. Used on near shore reefs and a couple offshore reefs, 60 ft or so. Will probably switch to just rode, no chain.

    It's official - 228 is no more :-(

    West coast wind and current to deal with. I'm drifting on a lake, wind only, no current.

    It's official - 228 is no more :-(

    With what you're doing sounds like you are trolling, not drifting. Socks keep your speed down with big motor in gear.
