No problem, I have installed 2 burnewiin mounts along the stern I have caught many albacore trolling without any issues. I have brought up several halibut with electric reels, without any issue. Just be aware of the shower sprayer. Good luck and enjoy your 228.

Congrats Lucky, when do you take possession of the new boat?

You may have already tried it, but what about a 4 blade prop? I put a powertech16 pitch prop on my yamaha 225 and the ability to stay on a plane at slow speeds is fantastic. With out the boat being loaded too heavy, I can keep her planing between 14-16 using the throttle. Just a thought...

These look great, did you have to modify anything or do they drop right in? Thanks

I had a small bird go through mine when trailing it with it up. Ironically, I was on my to have new canvas made.

" 6@9 is not horrible, it's sort of at the edge of OK to not fun. 5@10 is fine, we're fishing." These are very realistic conditions to fish here in the PNW, as long as the wind is less than 10ish knots. Once you get a wind chop on a 6@9, the fun factor goes way down. Another big factor are...

I have a 228 in a 30' slip and with the motor up and the bow pulpit, it almost takes up the whole thing. I think you will hang over too much in a 25' but it will be close.

That’s a pretty big generalization. I’m guessing many have including myself have been in comparable or worse. Never fun especially in a small boat but always great full to be back at port safely.

I went with Empire Covers for my 228. It was very reasonable and has held up great.

I do what you do..

Auto Pilot, Garmin 1242xvs, & Burnewiin Rod Holders and accessories.

Looks Great!

Give them a call and talk to them. They are priced higher, but the product is amazing. I thought the same as you, then was fishing on a boat that was outfitted with a few years back. After that summer, I was sold. They have great options for just about everything you need for ones boat...

I was able to use all the holes except 2 of the mounting screws I had to drill. I did not add a plate to the under side, I called grady and they said it is plenty strong. They are really clean looking and the rod holder and downrigger holders work really well. They are also much strong than...

I replaced my rod holders with Burnewiin ones and they offer a downrigger mount that is super clean and removable. They are located in WA and have very solid functional products. Here's a link https://burnewiin.com/collections/bases-adapters Check their stuff out, a huge improvement over...

Are you trailering it home or having it shipped, assuming everything checks out?

What type of sprayer did you use as well, looks amazing....

If you go to youtube and search Garmin Marine Webinars, several useful videos will pop up. Here are 3 good ones to start with.
