Gas F250 would suck the fuel. With the 6.7 I'm around 16 in town and pulling I drop to 10, but I run 75 most of the time, this is with 4.10 gears.

Thanks. Hutchy probably doesn't need to go that big, but at least the Silverado. Had a dually since 2011, nothing like them as far as stability on the road. Before that, 3/4 ton diesel single rear wheel, started back in 1999 when I bought my first diesel, never went back.

I pull my 228 with a small Ford truck. :cool:

Good deal!!! Grady-White is worldwide!

Yup, what Parthery said. Marine Sta-Bil and Ring Free every fill up. If you use it all the time, your fuel system is treated 100%. If you add stabilizer at end of season, you never know if it's made it all through the system before lay-up.

I finally got time to remove center cleat and locate windlass as far back as I can get. Looks good to me, rather have the full locker door to use if needed. Rather have the freefall capability with the Pro-Fish than the horizontal windlass that goes on the split hatch. Right now it's sitting on...

Agree with others, go Silverado, more mass makes towing and travel a breeze.

Lol,,,,I think he's here in the states right now. He's a bridge painting contractor and this is the busy season.

I love Charleston. South Carolina is my happy place for sure. I catfish on freshwater lake up by Moncks Corner, saltwater bottom fishing on the artificial reefs offshore of Charleston. Watched the fireworks anchored up in the harbor by Patriots Point many times.

Welcome and congrats on the 208. Good friend of mine is from Greece. Your English is very good, had no problem understanding what you said. Feel free to ask questions, alot of good folks on here to help you.

Don't think its a vent. Looks like someone has used a clamshell wire cover to cover over an old wire run. Maybe an old VHF cable run. The residual silicone in the shape of a circle and the 3 random screws around it makes me think it was this.

Just got back from Sarasota last night. Definitely bring a mask at minimum. We were told not to come in some stores if we didn't have a mask, others, even store owners didn't have masks on. Try and have fun and watch your motor this year. Should of had an Evinrude wrap put on it, guaranteed...

There are some major issues with that boat. All those lines are cracks that haven't flaked off yet. I'd pass on that boat.

Yep, factory platform. My bracket is different than yours. The front edge rests on the bracket.

We fish out of the Lakeside-Marblehead area. Out around Kelly's and South Bass. Thanks, but I don't see me upsizing anytime soon.

Wish I had known that. Been more than happy to take you out. Just got home from there last night.

I'm in the solo launch and retrieve group also with my 228. My wife, love her dearly, is absolutely no help at all when it comes to handling the boat or the truck and trailer. The 228 is very manageable by yourself, don't let that scare you away from it. There is so much more room on a 228...

228 has it factory. I removed mine because it interfered with fishing with both seats reserved watching the lines. Some people use them, I don't. I've seen pics of new model 228's and they seem to have done away with it.

I've fished 4 guys on mine, plenty of room. Wine and cheese cruise with another couple, plenty of room. Can launch and load solo. Bigger boat would require help to launch and load. The 258 was on my list also. The 258 wasn't drift sock friendly for my style of fishing. The cockpit area on the...

I'm a little biased here but the 228 is a very capable boat to do what you want to do. I trailer mine everywhere as I'm somewhat landlocked in Central Kentucky. I'm in Florida for 2 weeks now, I trailer to South Carolina and it will hit Lake Erie in September. As far as pulling tubes and such...
