Lots of good ideas. I kind of like the notion of a GoPro (type) camera mounted somewhere under the canvas...maybe on the back of the seats? Damn, I looked at the gigntic selection of those devices. What ever happened to just a Brownie camera? In those days, couldn't afford color film.

.......just hoping it doesn't get out of control....... That ship has sailed, so to speak

That sounds like what I want to do. I guess I need to do some research as to the most usable device and what features might or might not be available.

I was thinking about the camera idea. Seems there are a zillion offerings these days. I was pondering perhaps mounting something like a GoPro (type) covering the back section and let it rip while we are fishing. I kind of like that idea. Neither my wife nor I are big...

Probably too simple a question, but where does everyone put your phone on board? Usually no pockets in the summer but want quick access for photos. I am thinking, as a pretty good sewing person. I might make a pocket that goes over the seat back with pouches on the aft side. Also thinking...

I like JJF comments. On my always salt water moored 226, a 2013 model, there is no pitting no degredation of any of the components. My humble opinion is GW is over priced but you do get what you pay for. A lesser boat will likley do just about the same things, but after a few years, it...

Ditto for me

Ten cents worth. We bought our first boat 2 years ago. Got a fair, not great, deal on a relatively low hr 2013, 226 with a 250 Yammie. This was our first boat and it checked out well, just over 300 well cared for hours, everything else nicely kept. Anyway, our goal is fishing and its fine...

I got insurance with Travelers through a local agent who checked several companies for me. It was abput 60% of the cost from several of the other big companies. And I am sure the paper work as noted by others is not worth the effort. And I am not sure many insurers would appreciate the back...

I just got an email ad (and deleted it) from something like Boatoutfitters, or Wholesale boaters. Not exactly right but thats the idea. Anyway, the ad was for rub rail replacement rubber. On the ad, there were several different profiles and I think there were even more. Might try googling...

I agree, and being in the business of selling boats or anything else I guess, you never know who is going to walk in with a pocket full of cash. Interestingly, when I mentioned the guys name to other neighbors who were familiar with him, I got responses like, gee, sounds like he has gotten...

Not exactly the same thing, but same idea I suppose. Last year I searched for months to find a half decent, fairly priced boat. Ended up with a 2013 Seafarer with 340 hours so it was not too well used. Anyway, along the search, I spoke with a used dealer looking for info on a boat he had...

I got a 2013 Seafarer that could use new arms. I see the set screw and I am wondering what experiences others have had with removing the arm. My assumption is that if it has never come off, even once the set screw is loosened/removed, the socket, which I assumed is a spline, is not going to...

I made up some new cabin cushions for my 226 Seafarer. We do not ever plan any over nights so I used 2 " anti bacteria poylurethane and I got what I think was a good deal for some Sunbrella ($3 a yard) We leave out the first center cushion to allow easier access so I did not bother with it...

Don't move to Massachusetts..... I spent a year in Pensacola decades ago and it was a pretty decent spot to live. I was in the military but it seemed like a reasonable area and lots of water access. I have a summer home on Cape Cod and while there is pretty good fishing, its 5-6 months a year...

The existing 'mounts' are simply the small GPS and radio brackets are screwed to the fold down compartment cover in the cabin so nothing has really been changed. I like the idea of still having the flip up cover but the opening is not quite large enough to fit a 9" GPS/finder and a VHF. Its...

I think for my uses this unit will be OK. Supposedly no issues down to 200 feet or so, which works out well for my uses. Marina guys who work with them say users in our area like them, never need to have radar so I think it should be pretty good. I agree with liking a touch screen better but...

My thought was to not flush mount the panel. I was thinking I can cut out a piece using a template of the hole and use some small angle brackets to mount the board at the bottom of the hole. I think that would give enough space to mount the electronics and still be able to close the cover, I...

I got a 2013 226 Seafarer last fall. We had enough good weather to get in a few hours and its a nice boat. Seller had a small 5" Garmin GPS and I found (after asking several folks who presumably have some experience, and on line reviews??) 9" Garmin Echomap UHD 94sv that seems good for $700...

I found Garmin ECHOMap 94uhd sv version for $700. Available at a couple of places for that price. Seems like a good unit for that price. GPSstore, BassProshops are two with that price. Was $1150, then $1000, available for $700. With what I believeis an adequate transducer
