That Evinrude thing is darn funny. You're right, slap an Evinrude decal on it and people run away . Lol. We got the mask thing down. We own two retail stores and have to do the dance ourselves.

Wow!!!! Is this your boat? If it is I would send Grady these pictures. There is clearly water intrusion and cracking. I love the Grady brand but I got to tell you , they do everything right with their layouts, the look of the boat and such,but man do they struggle with the transoms.

Awesome. Looks like a great boat.

We drive to Orlando Saturday and head to Key Largo on Monday. Last September booked 2 weeks. Wife is freaking out some due to Covid. Last time I checked Covid doesnt live on the reef or the Gulfstream.lol.

Thanks ...all the credit goes to Collinites 925 Boat Wax. That stuff is the bomb!

Got her waxed including putting Woody's on the bright work. Polished up the stratoglass too plus and this is the best part. I installed, with the help of my son , the world's best anchor!!!! I know it's too good to be true. Oh, I got a tip here a few years back on the rub rail. Doc Stressor...

Yes, yes it is doable. When Grady stuck the bracket on that hull they maximized every inch of that boat. The cockpit aft area is nice. Check one out and sea trial it and the 208 . Then decide I suggest.

I created a thread in the photos page called oh the places we have been. You go the main thread tree and scroll down until you see the photos threads ..it's in there.

That boat is a beast!!! I wanted a Gulfy but my dealer kept telling me towing it 900 miles would be a pita because she is so wide. Fat bottom boats make the fishing world go around! That is a sweet boat. Congrats !

With ventilation the cuddy is no warmer than being under your hard top. We take naps in it while on the toll off of Port Canaveral in 90 degree heat. If the ambient air temp in the shade is 90 the cabin might not be any cooler than that unless you are moving with air flow through it then it...

Leeccoll, Do you ever take her to Lake Powell or Meade? Two years ago I was in your neck of the woods and went from Grand Canyon to Zion and went through Paige and stopped at an overlook picnic area on Lake Powell. I wish I had my boat with me that day I tell you.

Doc Stressor here has a 226. He loves the boat. I like the layout of the 228 and when we are in the Keys snorkeling the full swim platform is nice getting in and out of the water. There are pros and cons to each hull but you have to wonder why they no longer make the 226. Demand?

Y'all got more courage than I do. I have an airmar m260 shoot through the hull. Works great. You would think in this modern era that boat builders would develop a place , predrilled or something with plugs to mount thru hull ducers. Good job on your project.

My 228 has a factory installed back rest on the port side. The boat is a great 22 footer. My only complaint is I wish there was 4 inches more between the captain seat and companion seat. The boat is sea worthy I have taken her to places in the Bahamas and Dry Tortugas , so it's almost like...

I predominantly run on the east coast. I try to get to the Keys as much as I can..I have taken her to Panama City and over at Cape San Blas / St. Joe Bay. I have taken her to the Bahamas and Dry Tortugas, Pamlico Sound,Beaufort NC, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, St. George and Charleston ,SC...

Ah, new boat smell. I love me some polyester resin VOCs. I had a 192 and the bow was dry in most conditions I used the boat from the Florida Keys to the St. Johns River and her big lakes. I thought it was a drier ride than some 21 foot center consoles I rented in the Keys. I would fish...

Some say a cuddy is hot. I take my boat to Florida every year. While on the troll we sometimes pop the front hatch and nap in the cuddy. At 5-6 mph on the troll it's comfortable and you're in the shade. While on the reef we will open the side windows and maybe pop the hatch and its...

Thanks spark! Great fishing report. We have caught some tuna at the humps a time or two!...sounds great .have not been to the Keys in 3 years. Can't wait.

Are you buying used or new? If you asked between the 208 and 228 and running to the Bahamas, I would then tell you figure out a way to buy the 228. It is a bigger hull . I love my 228 and in few days I am heading to the Keys..it's a great Keys boat and we have taken it the Bahamas a few times...

You're sort of right. The walk around trough itself does allow water into the boat . It's not an express which does shed that water. Honestly, you're splitting hairs in comparing the two hulls. In 6 foot seas you're not thinking if you buy the smaller one ,man if I only got the 215 I would be...
