I am interested in adding a bow thruster to my 2004 330 Express. I was wondering where the access to the thruster area actually is? Is it under the Teak and Holly floor or under the V berth? I am worried about ripping up the cabin for the installation. I am looking into Florida Bowthruster...

My 228 fuel tank is in the space in between the two helm seats, some of the Seafarers have the fuel tank further aft in the boat. On my boat that (aft deck) area was for the auxillary fuel tank which I dont have. For many years with had two hatches cut and put all sorts of stuff down there...

Hi Everybody, I've been on this site for at least 10 years and have read nearly every thread on the 330 Express, as it has been my dream boat since it came out. I have a 1988 Seafarer 228 that has been in my family since new. I finally got my permission slip from my wife this fall for the...

Thanks, I will attempt this week

Hi, I have been a long time owner of a Seafarer 228 and just bought a 2004 Express 330. I drove it up last week by water from SC to NH...a story for another post. I am interesting in accessing the Ac and underneath the helm. There are these panels in the center berth and I can’t figure out how...

Ive owned a Seafarer 228 since new in 1988. I finally got the permission slip to get a used 330 Express. Unfortunately, I have had to pull out of two agreements due to hull delamination. Both were nearly identical to the video shown (sides above waterline midship back to stern). Also the...

Check to see if the fuel tank is between the front seats like my 228. This helps offset the weight of the engine. I think some models have the tank more toward the stern. I take mine 40-50 miles offshore, modern 4 strokes are ultra reliable, if you are going to have problems is more likely...

I have a 1988 seafarer 228 with bracket. Upgraded back in 2003 to a honda 225. The boat is definitely a little stern heavy and I would not recommend any more than the 620 lbs of that Honda.

Some awesome footage of the support boats on History channel's "Alone". Look like early 90s Sailfish models. Lots of great Grady white free advertising. Check it out.

I have a 1988 Seafarer with the bracket and a honda 225 4 stroke. There has never been drainage problems. The 1988 model could be equipped with twin 140s which weigh more than a single 225 4 stroke (guessing). Something else to think about: we had a 9.9hp kicker mounted on the back when it...

Hi, I know many of you are aware of the GW 26 Atlantic flybridge that was out in the early 90s and disappeared as a failed attempt like the tigercat. I would love for Grady to try this again but on a big hull like the 33 or 36. The new 36 enclosure is one step of the way there. They just...

i have a 1988 seafarer with a bracket. This boat was designed to have up to twin 140s on the back (which is heavier than a 4s 200 hp). I put a 225 honda 4 stroke on in 2003 and love it. It is about 100lbs heavier, but I removed the oil tank and 9.9hp kicker outboard i had on the back. So in...

I have always been interested in this boat. There aren't many companies that make an outboard powered flybridge. Can you imagine if Grady White made a boat like this on the 33 or 36 hull. The interior space would be huge.

I repowered my 1987 Seafarer 228 with a Honda 225 and love it. Those years you could get a 228 with twin 140s which is heavier than a single big four stroke. The max hp rating is 280. If I could do it again I would put a 300 fourstroke on there (not a V8 obviously). Also the yamaha 250...

I would love to participate in a northern NE club. Im in Rye, NH.

I have a leak in my bracket too on a 228. Ive tried to seal it with no sucess. Mine is filled with foam though so it only adds up to a few gallons. I actually leave the plug out (on the bracket) so it drains while on plane. My suggestion is to fill it with a spray in foam so when it fills...

Honda 225 Grady never said anything to me when I asked them 5 years ago about putting a 4 stroke on my 1988 Seafarer 228. Regardless, I have a Honda 225 on it now and love it. It is a little heavier, but I used to have a 9.9 kicker with my old 2 stroke so it comes out the same. I wouldn't...

"Luxury Tax from 80s" I love all of your posts. It is very true that the rich are easy targets for politicians but when they are taxed, everyone gets hurt. For example, remember the tax in the late 80s on boats over $100k? It was the brain child of the democratic congress to get some income...
