I just performed a compression test on the 225 OX66 I am selling. Ran motor 10 minutes and then checked compression on each cylinder with throttle closed. Got 125 -130 across the board. I was surprised and buyer was pleased. The winky blinky cable is invaluable if you plan to maintain and...

I am not saying the concern is warranted. I’m saying that those that have researched the issue may be hesitant to purchase the boat without taking the motor in to concideration. The documented repairs will surely help put potential buyers minds at ease. There is unfortunately a negative...

I recently went though a one year search for the same model boat. Location plays a huge roll in pricing. Hate to say it but that motor is a detriment (dry exhaust issue) to an informed buyer. Kinda like the Ficht was a few years back. Check comps. The positive is it is a desirable model and...

I found the holy grail at Port of Egypt Marine in New York. Not the same decals but maybe worth the chance to contact the “Oldest Grady White Dealer in the World”. Actually only the oval domed 226 decals were provided by Egypt Marine. The others were off eBay, Taylor Marine I think.

Found the matching gasket for the electronics and cuddy cabin doors on eBay, cheap! Works great. Auto RV Marine 3/8" Wide x .188" High Self Adhesive Rectangle Ribbed Rubber Weather Seal Strip

Ky, that looks familiar. A labor of love. I did not get out on Sunday as I’d hoped. Waiting on some parts for the kicker that were supposed to arrive on Saturday. So just continued on with cleaning the brightwork and windows and continued general field day. Replaced the door catches at the...

Not sure the Adventure compartment opening is the same size.

Just cut the handles and a half inch of the lip ( lip rounds over about 5/8”) off with a dremel to allow more flush fitting of compartment lid (factory cover).

Here’s a quick one. A Rubbermaid Roughneck 3 gallon tote fits the 14”x9” aft rigging compartment opening. A little trimming of the tote is required to allow it to sit down and allow the starboard cover to cover opening. Nice place to keep frozen anchovy trays or roe for salmon, fish or...

I purchased a 226 Seafarer time capsule. Not a single modification to the boat by previous owner. Maintained as well as could be maintained. Perfect! Except all of the outdated equipment. I started a list. A long list of improvements to be made. First to be tackled was the electronics...

1999 226 Seafarer

I understand Grady White utilizes Beckson 6” pry-out deck plates on a lot of their models including my “99” 226 Seafarer. I was inspecting the condition of these on my new to me boat and found that the o-rings were pinched and in otherwise poor shape. I went searching for replacements and...
