    Just about everyone has pictures of their boat/trailer/tow vehicle. Post an older pic of your rig, and put the critics to rest.

    Stock gunnel rod holder replacement for modern 228?

    Lucky, are you re-enforcing your rod holder that you use for pots and downrigger, with anything more than a backing plate? For that use, I would be looking for a way to stabilize the bottom end of the holder. For about 20% more, you could go to a Lee heavy duty.

    Roughest Seas You’ve Endured - Seafarer 228?

    I had a 22 Tournament, and now a 228. Same hull, and the ride is much better with the bracket. GW no longer has the flat, open transom, the preference for the Euro style transom/integrated swim platform pretty much did away with that option.

    That makes sense, didn't think of an RV when I saw all that grill in the back. Not in my toy box.

    Daves Trailer Sales and Venture Trailers WARNING!

    What was dealer price on a new 228 with hardtop, when they discontinued the model recently? I know options matter, but just for the sake of curiosity, ball park is good.

    The bracket got rid of the open transom, which Grady Whites no longer have.

    New grady model?

    The Canyon 456 is also a big bow rider, more so than a serious off shore fishing boat, as the preference for the Albies show. It has a huge sun pad in front of the console, as well as big bench seats in the bow, and 2 tables. Why not expand the width and length of the cabin area, and make it a...

    Sounds like a good buy! Replace those plastic through hulls ASAP, I think you will find that at least some of them will fall apart when you try to disconnect the hoses, or remove them.
