Which ones were for the under seat boxes? I have one that is locked closed and I can’t find the key. I only need to unlock it once and will never lock it again...

I was going to ship my 208 from FL to CA using Uship but didn’t get any bids from providers with a good reputation/reviews; wish I got lucky like Joe above. There were, however, a lot of lowball bids from providers with no reviews and poorly written profiles with little to no credentials. If it...

Not to beat a dead horse but a newer forum member just looked at the same boat and was given the same runaround/attitude by the seller. He specifically mentioned the issues noted in the survey performed on my behalf and the seller claimed ignorance. Thankfully he decided not to pursue any...

Any reason why you chose the 20A over the 8A model?

So the boat got surveyed and I learned how basic editing apps on smartphones and good picture taking angles can make a mediocre boat look significantly better... The boat ended up having quite a laundry list of small flaws that the seller had a list of (verbally read it through once) and would...

That sounds like a couple good places to start. Is it common for the surveyor to open the deck plate up or is going through the inspection hatches enough? Any known issues with bow or stern eyes failing? I know this was a chronic problem with my previous boat. Thank you!

Thank you for the reply and recommendation. I left a message with Michael and hope to hear back from him tomorrow. I checked out his website and took a look at the sample survey; very thorough and looks to be well done. I was able to contact him as well and his pricing was very fair. All...

Hello, Looking for an accredited surveyor to perform a pre-purchase inspection in Ocean County, New Jersey. I’ll be purchasing remotely and will not be available for a sea trial/inspection myself. Any suggestions are welcome; looking to get it done in the next couple of weeks. Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply, didn't have post notifications turned on :rolleyes: Thank you very much for measuring and providing pictures of your setup for me to drool over. I might have to go with an alternate parking spot for both the 226 or 228 (less secure) but should be able to make it work...

Thank you for the quick reply. I’m aware of variations in trailer setup and tongue length as well as boat positioning on the trailer affecting overall length. More than likely I’ll be purchasing a used boat and having it shipped in so I’m looking for what other owners already have as it’ll give...

Thank you for the reply. Looks like I’ll have to do a little more work to get the parking area long enough. Anyone know the length of a 228 on the trailer? About 33’6” a fair guess?

Hello, First post here and hopefully many more to come. I was hoping a few of you Seafarer 226 owners would be able to help me out by measuring the overall length of your boat on a trailer from the trailer coupler to the end of the propellers with the engine tilted up enough for trailering...
