So my boat was built in 08 and went into service new with me in 09 and around 2018 I had to replace both the fill and vent hose due to significant cracking and literally a few holes in the hose. I would replace your fuel hoses at a minimum.

While I agree with you on this 100% , I think some marketing nerd at Grady says the Eurotrashom sells better to moms and families than fishing oriented design which you and I appreciate. Grady is in the business of staying in business and their bent towards families and sandbars means you get a...

Yah, they did a decent job..I wish they would have just kept the 228 and made her 6 inches wider . It's laid out so well . I do like the innovation of the aft seats and how they swing. My 192 had something similar in that the back rest swung . Given they got rid of essentially 3 models...

I am here through Thursday. I have been house sitting for some friends. Weather has been good but the winds have picked up. I came down with a sinus thing the day I got here back on the 7th.it impacted my ability to snorkel and stuff. I have only fished offshore 3 times in the last 3 weeks...

They did something here I always thought would benefit the 228 and that is give it a 8.5 foot beam midships . It's a sweet looking boat at a foot shorter than 228. I hope it sells well .

I have the same set up as KY. I think you would be fine as our set up or top hole on the bracket and 2nd hole on the motor .

I am going to Keys next week for the rest of July. I probably won't change my boating . What will happen is I won't eat out as much and stuff like that . Fuel costs are an issue . 125 gallons at $3 is one thing . 125 gallons at $7 is something very different. Over 2 weeks there I burn around...

You mention 4 of the 6 show spark. What's going on with the other two?

Well you already did the project. Sounds great . When my dome light failed I upgraded to Grady factory LED touch fixture with both cockpit and spreader switch built into the fixture. The cockpit side I can choose red or white LED illumination from a soft glow to bright and I control the spreader...

Great job. It's hard to keep up with the KYs. Looks great .

I feel your pain. Been there plenty of times . I have to find a weedless trolling rig that works. I just run and deal with the weeds.

Well, I should trust Goodyear ,but here is the thing. I often travel and tow close to 1,000 miles one way on the interstate. Under inflating can lead to more heat and friction and heat and friction can lead to premature tire failure. Over the years the China bomb tires put on most trailers...

However, When the trailer breaks along I-95 in Georgia and your family is stranded like the Griswold s, you have done choices. You can call a tow truck and wait on that stuff or you can but up and fix it yourself. My boat trailer calamities have increased my working knowledge of trailer repair...

Dennis I forgot about Shorelander. I have never really checked them out at the ramp nor for shopping . You're right though there are many and many are likely just average but few come close to Myco or Rolls. My Owens is the best I have ever owned and I would buy another in a heartbeat. The...

I am with Doc in these numbers. I mainly troll for dolphin/tuna anywhere between. 5-7 knots. I burn like 1.5 gallons an hour . I have a Yamaha 4.2 liter F250 and it doesn't make oil . At cruise say 4,000 to 4,200 RPM if seas allow I am burning between 9.5 to 11.2 gallons per hour . My average...

Yah my 228 will cruise at 35 at 4500. I run a 4.2 F250 with Power Tec OS4 4 blade prop. I would trust the guy and then you got your sea trial too and trust it yourself .

Um, Dennis I disagree . There is a best or a few best like Myco or Rolls . Those two trailers are the bomb! Then you got Pacific, Ownens, Sport Trail , Ameritrail and Load Rite. Then you have Road King, Magic Trail, Rocket. And so forth. Not all trailers are created equal. In the moment...

How far do you trailer ? A few miles or hundreds ? Practically any trailer will get you from home to the ramp if it's just a handful of miles . I have had Performance which I think is now Road King. I have had Magic Trail , EZ Loader and Venture . I now own an Owens. I trailer to Florida a...

For tough deck stains I sometimes use The Worx toilet bowl cleaner on the deck. I use Star Brite PTF deck cleaner and also use Woody Wax on the deck. Simple Green is also helpful for cleaning up too. I use Collinites wax and 303 protectent on rub rail and vinyl . The key as other have...
