I thought I was the one and only, apparently not...

I own a 228 and fish regularly on a 258. The cabin space is not that much bigger than the 228, a few inches wider and about 6" longer. Not a lot of creature comforts on a 258, but it is a good day cruiser.

You're correct, not a requirement. I always say unless you like bobbing for white shark, it may not be a bad investment.

FUEL! Make sure you have plenty incase you encounter bad weather. Life raft, flares, air horn, hand held radio, PLB, sun screen, food, water, in a ditch bag. Also, any other USCG required equipment. I take my 228 50-70 miles off the beach regularly, but I have all my equipment in the event...

PNW_Drifter, Thanks for the info....

Leeccoll, Thanks for sharing the process with us. I am wondering if you would mind sharing the cost of the new tank? Thanks for all the pictures and information. Brad

Ken said the same for me and it was on my doorstep in 2 1/2 weeks.

I run a OFS4 15.25x16 on my yamaha OX66 225 and it is perfect.
