In this picture what is the space and caulk showing from. Too close to tell what I’m looking at. Is that the bracket falling off!?!?

Pictures or it didn’t happen :)

Yeah those are amazing numbers

Yeah idk my 226 with hardtop pulpit windlass 50 gallons of fuel, no water, and no enclosure up hit 42.5 on gps the other day. It was a 30 second hold on wide open could maybe have gotten more. The bottom has 15 years of bottom paint that isn’t smooth at all and blotchy. The prop is a 17P turning...

So how did the sea trial go? Any performance numbers you write down with the 300?

Yeah on the 228’s but I haven’t been on the last year Made 2015 226 that might have been rated for 300

When you are there tho tomorrow take and post a pic of the coast guard plate if you can. See if 300 hp is what it says is the max.

Lol I knew that would stir something up lol. I work part time at a marina and been on both models. Low speed handling 226 wins and slow speed barely on plane doesn’t fall off plane as easily in rough water swells. Water doesn’t come around the motor and wash it out so to speak off plane. 228...

Wow very nice and I think that is the last year they made the 226? That boat has been for sale for around 5 months now I believe. Saw it back in January so maybe get it for a little cheaper? Personally I prefer the 226 because of the rougher sea handling characteristics over the bracket. You...

Nice looks good! Did you check the thermostat engine anode?

For me I like the boat to be as if grady did it. So don’t care what it costs. Like when I did the so called bang plate I got it from Grady and paid the $44 to ship it and the crazy expensive Grady color caulk. Didn’t end up using the caulk but now have it. The cushions in the back this winter...

Splashed this weekend too. Keep the boat behind my house. Weather was perfect this weekend! Now two more weeks for Black Sea Bass in NJ. Gotta get the wreck anchor ready

I recored my overnighter deck last year. Definitely do what skunk was saying leaving the wood back from the edges so it doesn’t get water in it from the screws. PITA job but glad I did it afterwards. Just checked my 2005 seafarer. Even in 2005 they used a bunch of small pieces of wood to the...

Mine is factory mounted on my 226 right under the up and down switch to the right of the steering wheel. I always keep it “tripped” so the up and down switch won’t energize

What happened to the jump seat seat back?

What did it look like before?

Sooooooo you may be getting a new boat? Here is my replacement of the transom cap. https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/transom-cap-bang-plate-replacement.29251/ As you can see it’s beneficial to mount motors on a spacer so to speak to keep from crushing the plate. I’m sure marina replacing the...

Well if either u or ky get new ones made I’ll gladly buy ur old ones I guess if your going to just get rid of them. Better then dropping more money after just buying the boat and better then mine with ripped stitches. Thanks again.

I got the same boat and cushions in the pic. Same deal been sitting outside since 2005. Where are you getting yours redone and do they say GW on the new ones?

This was a good read as I’m here at work on the midnight shift. Gotta ask, why do I see so many west coast boats with a kicker motor?
