    Black/Chrome 228 Rub Rail - best fit or even OEM?

    Anything aftermarket will never fit as good as original factory stuff will. My '04 accents were Navy Blue/Gold. Stripes, cabin side flags Grady-White logo. You sure yours are black?? Not seen any black accents. I've seen the Green and now the Charcoal Grey and silver stuff along with the Navy Blue.

    Black/Chrome 228 Rub Rail - best fit or even OEM?

    Reason behind wanting to get rid of it? The stainless "looks" good on the newer boats, but one time coming in hot or wind shove you into a dock and you put a scratch on it, it's damaged. The original blue is more forgiving and you can bring it back to life if it's faded looking, with a good...

    2005 228 Pompanette Ladder Back Cushion Replacement?

    Contact Pompanette direct and see if they have replacement cushions you can buy. You can also have your originals redone. I picked up a full set from shopping EBay. Mine were plain and I wanted the Grady-White embroidered ones.

    Trailer options for a GW 228 Seafarer

    Let me look when I get home. I had a trade involved but can figure it out without trade. Keep in mind this was in 2017 when I purchased the trailer.

    Speaker options

    Mine are located here on my 228. I ran the wires through the wire chase under the floor from starboard to port, then through the open area below the companion chair. Out of the way and provide good sound.

    Compass

    If it's out of warranty, I'd still send it back to Ritchie and let them fix it back to factory specs.

    Trailer options for a GW 228 Seafarer

    I pull with a F350 dually and I like having brakes on both axles, less pressure against the truck brakes to slow it down or emergency brake.

    Trailer options for a GW 228 Seafarer

    Very happy with my Loadmaster for my 228. It does have brakes on both axles, stainless steel components, Kodiak brakes, Vortex hubs, LED lights, dual spares with spindles. Been pulling it for the past 4 years from Kentucky to Lake Erie in Ohio, Santee in South Carolina, and the gulf coast of...

    Updated,,,,,,228 flush mount prep

    I had thought about the full panel, but went half panel for now. I like the contrast of the dash between the two panels. When I repower and have to replace the gauges, I'll probably make a upper panel to match the lower. Upper is currently the old carbon fiber pattern, will go the matte black to...

    First Outing in new to me 2003 Seafarer 228 - Heavy feeling stern - An Update

    In relation to your pics of the scuppers and bracket, mine sits the same, about a half a scupper. I do think the bracket paint is off some on yours. I would still check the bracket for water. Also, is your motor running well? If it's off because of an issue, it won't have the full power to get...

    STA-BIL 360

    Yep, I agree. You're fine, go boating. Mine sits more than it runs and I keep 360 in mine with no issues from extended layup.

    GPS screen size for new Freedom 215

    Seel's are good people. They will do you right. I've been dealing with Nancy for quite a few years. She takes care of the parts end of it and has helped me out often. Al is back in service, known him for years.

    228G, What do you think?

    And dealers will tell you what you want to hear to make that sale/commission too!! Be aware of what you are walking into.

    228G, What do you think?

    Survey, Survey, Survey,,,, did I say Survey?? If it needs that much and a sales rep says it needs to go to a tinkerer,,, there are probably other issues you don't see or know about. Who deemed it structurally sound??? You say you've been told it's structurally sound? Can you do all the work...
