Does anyone know if the livewell gas strut is the same length? They look a bit longer in pictures but hard to tell. I know the livewell is 7.5", mine came with one on the livewell lid, not S/S but I replaced it with S/S. It doesn't have to be 228 , 226 is the same.

I agree , here in Australia you have to have brakes that work on at least one axle on trailers with ATM over 750 KG ( 1650 lbs) and up to 2000 kg (4400 lbs) anything over 2000 kg you need brakes on all wheels , a breakaway system that will hold the brakes on for 15 minutes and a controller in...

I thought they are about the same price for S/S , they are the only ones I look at . You are correct he worked for Kodiak before going alone , he probably has them made in the same Chinese factory as Kodiak!!!

I have an older 228G (99 model) and she doesn't have gas springs on the kill tanks to hold the lids up when opened. I know the later models have them, post 03-04 I think. I want to fit S/S gas springs on mine , if anyone that has a late model 228 G would be kind to measure the gas spring and...

If you want trouble free brakes, brakes that will work year after year with very minimal maintenance, Kodiak S/S ( all S/S ) are the only brakes to buy. There is another brand in the market now Deemax, that are copies of Kodiak . I never used Deemax but I use Kodiak here in Australia and never...

Thanks for the pictures David, do you have Tako poles as well? What size?

Thanks Dave, you can email if its easier : wrxhoon@yahoo.com

It is a bimini top . I want to know if anyone has outriggers and where thye are mounted, pictures would be nice.

Does anyone have outriggers on their seafarer vista top? Where did you mount the bases? What brand/length?

Good advice , keep the tank full, if you don't have air in it you won't get condensation as long as you don't use ethanol.

Next time you need it don't pay $32 to the dealer, buy direct and save. Go to spectrumcolor.com and it will re-direct you to I boats . As you can see its only $23.53 for the same thing , cut the middle man out. I ordered mine from them but I'm not sure if I can have it shipped to Australia...

If the boat is in good nick the price is good, A little risky buying a boat private from AU. I would feel much safer buying from a dealer. What if you pay and he doesn't hand over the boat? takes the $ and moves away? Things you have to consider. I bought a Seafarer 228 recently private sale I...

I have a 200 hp Optimax on my Trophy , done 600 hours in 4 years, a lot at iddle speed downriggingand dragging live bait for marlin , never had an issue with the torque flow hub kit, I used several different props including a 4 blade Vensura . I now have an Optimax 250hp on the 228 G but I only...

I have a 228 and I fitted a 250 Optimax, so not the same engine . Your engine has a 2 to 1 gearbox and not as much torque as my opti , much less down low. The opti has a 1.75 to 1 box . I run a 19" Enertia and use the boat like you do, offshore fishing, our seas here ( Australia) are much bigger...

My rub rail has several scrapes and I want to replace it with a new one . I found the OEM manufacturer is Barbour plastics and its sold in three parts, rub rail , insert and bump tube,part numbers: F2021/R820/F725. Barbour will sell direct for $4.75 per foot in 50' and 78' coils, I need about...

Thanks very much for taking the time , you have Im with my email.

I'll bump this up , if anyone is kind to measure and post It will be appreciated . I can see from pictures on the web they are fitted close to the scuppers all I want to know is the distance from the side of the boat to the end of your scupper.

I bought a 228 (99 model ) recently and she wasn't fitted with trim tabs. I bought a set of Lencos ( I used the Lencos before on the Trophy and I like them), I'm about to fit them on. As we don't have many GWS here in Australia would someone be kind to tell me how far from the side your tabs are...

I have an AGM and a normal lead acid on the boat , had them both for over 4 years , no problems . I use the baot all the time , never had to charge either of them , the engine does that when I'm on the water. If I turn the engine off when fishing, I switch over to AGM for my electronics, live...

I will add to that, floor rot ( over the tank) and swim step rot if fitted with one. The transom in the 228 is well protected from factory as it is well sealed , check around the sculpersand anywhere that has screws. 226 on the other hand is more prone to rot . Any boat with bottom paint that...
