Today I pulled my boat from the slip. washed her up and starting my off season prep. I enjoy living in the mountains but our boating season is short ,well compared to my native state of Florida. lol. Tonight we are expected to see lows in the upper 30s in the valleys and subfreezing temps...

There is a canal on the ocean side of Key Largo that I counted 4 228s on lifts.

I think you hit one of the following items : Great White shark Mako Shark telephone pole from Cuba A refrigerator a container that fell off a cargo ship filled with cheap Chinese toys A Russian Submarine trying to subvert our elections A wad of packaging bands about 4 feet in diameter just...

two things. I always pull the plug and over the winter I will pop the hatches to let the boat breathe . my 08 is dry as well. She has been in Lake Fontana for a month and I am pulling her out next week. it's a covered slip and the bilge will likely be dry. pull your plug and always...

I might in the Keys in the Spring and likely next summer. Will do. my Bahama adventures were great. want to go back, waiting for the infrastructure to recover some more after Dorian destroyed the islands last summer. it got sporty coming back across Rebecca Shoals on the Tortugas trip. the...

my 228 has a 125 gallon tank. I have the 4.2 liter F250 and it's gets on flat water 3.2-3.3 per gallon. Fishing I get 2.5-2.9 depending on the sea state. I have run her to the Bahamas and Dry Tortugas with plenty of fuel and room to spare. a typical offshore trip out of Port Canaveral I will...

the 225 is a capable boat . the 228 shares the same hull and bracket set up. I fish often 20,30, 40 offshore and I find the ocean the easy part. it's going through the inlet at times when I picked. lol. Oregon Inlet is one of those nortorious inlets on the entire east coast. once you are...

I have not done my research but I think either the 208 or 228 are the longest running hulls or models in their line up. If greatness is measured by longevity then those models are clearly up there. Then you got their big boats and I would vote the Marlin and Express 330 into the Grady Hall of...

I have found my Yamaha fuel flow and consumption meter is accurate within a gallon or two. I will fill up the tank full. reset the guage on fuel burned and start my trip off at zero. The next time I fill up I will compare what I burned to what I just put in to get it full and the difference is...

Hey Y'all, how many here are Facebook Grady pages members? I know a few are . lately , well for a long while now I am just getting more and more social media fatigued with politics, riots, COVID and such. I am member of two Grady groups and it's nice seeing pictures , but I gotta say this...

Then you finish it off with Mop N Glo Marine . The Mop N Glo last for a few weeks and it's does work to protect the rubber from some UV damage and general oxidation. There is no such thing as Mop n Glo Marine . I just took a sharpie and wrote Marine on the bottle . it makes me feel special .

yeah,I am looking to upgrade to the 456 in a year or two. it's only a mill point 3 . no sweat . I think maybe in 20 years I might be able to afford a 2020 model. can I tow it with my Tundra? That's an amazing boat.

turns out the 228 is sought after. I hope you find one. I am not interested in selling mine ,but as an example my dinosaur 228 from 2008 was repowered in 2017 with a 4.2 liter Yamaha. I replaced all the lighting with latest LED stuff from the cockpit to running lights. two years ago I bought...

When was the last time you either inspected the lines or replaced them? last year every time I filled up I noticed a fuel smell in the helm and cabin area of the boat. Finally, one day I was getting fuel I had the dock guy pump while I looked around and I noticed fuel coming out of the fuel...

either would be total bad a$$,both would be illegal . for the record I do have degree in biology and I respect all fishery laws and think wildlife conservation is a good thing. however, the guy in me says , wow ! you slayed a white shark or wow, something triggered you to take down whale in...

ah, but did you kill it? bonus points if you say yes!

I will see your striped bass and raise you some tasty dolphin we caught on a buddy's GW 265. lol This was the first weekend in June.

it was a BSA District Camp . They held all the liability it was a great week . Good luck on your repairs.

ok. I will give it a go. thanks

that picture is old. I took it at Pamlico Sea Base Scout camp four years ago .so, don't get too jelly because I worked today just like you, well not just like you because I own two retail Chocolate stores and I delivered fresh product we made to our our Waynesville location then I cleaned...
