I installed the same unit on my 228. I put installed it on a Scanstrut 6" Aluminum Powertower F/2kw & 4kw Raymarine, Garmin & Navico

On my friends 258 with twin yamaha 150's, top speed loaded was 42 mph according to the gps. I have no clue on how it compares to the 232.

Not bigger than the 232, longer deck space on the 228 than the 258 but 6” narrower.

I wonder if your fiberglass person still has the mold? I’m sure he could sell several, I would love to get one. Looks great

I own a 228 but regularly fish on the 258. The 258 is a great boat a rides really well in most conditions. I have only been on a gulf stream once, and it is big for the size. I will say the deck space is adequate on the 258 but the deck space on my 228 seems bigger. Either way you can not...

I used the Buff Magic Compound followed by the Pro Polish Wax. I used the Makita 9237 7" polisher with the makita pads for applying the compound and wax. Super easy to use, hard to mess up your gelcoat and a great end result. I used 1 bottle of wax for my 228 and have some compound left over.

I used the Shurhold system and it worked fantastic. I did not used their buffer as I already own a makita.

My boat has burnewiin on it and you can install their mounts, I have 2 of their mounts on the stern. Installation was a pain, but I have them there if I need.

What one did you get? Thanks

I have a 1999 228 with a hardtop and a pulpit, and my boat has a ox66 225hp and it is plenty of power. I usually fish offshore with 3 guys and we have put over 30 albacore on the boat with around 300 lbs of ice and all the gear and 145 gallons of fuel and the boat has no problem getting on...

I had something very similar to what you are having on the same exact motor. Everything worked fine on #2 but the engine would not fire. I ended up replacing my battery switch and all is good now. Never figured out what the problem was but for me replacing the switch worked. Good Luck

KY, I am wondering if you would not mind sharing how much the 228 enclosure cost? Thanks, Brad

Get a set of Burnewiin's, you can mount them and the rod holder itself can be stowed while not in use.

I mounted mine on the port side as it seemed to balance the boat better.

I went with Burnewiin rod holders on my 228 and could not be happier. They are plenty strong to fight tuna out of and have adjustable angles. www.burnewiin.com

I will, however it will be a few days I just put my boat in storage for the winter. I have a few things to do next week and will try to remember to snap a few pictures.

Yes, I have a 1242xsv in the space in question. It is tight but can been seen easily.

Lucky, You will learn your boat better as you spend more time out in varied conditions. I run out of Garibaldi Oregon and IIwacco Wa. mainly for tuna. I was out yesterday with a 6' swell at 9 seconds with maybe 10-12 mph breeze and it wasn't too bad at all. Coming back in from 35 miles out...

I have a garmin 18 radar on my 228 and it is invaluable. I have had more than 1 foggy day where it has given us much needed safety. Running in the early morning it is worth its weight in gold, I would take radar over AIS any day, but that is me. If you are running your boat in anything but...
