Yes, the Spring fishing has been great the opening week of the season here in Comox. Flat water, sunshine and easy daily limits. My 50th year fishing the east and west coast of Vancouver Island. This is the centre of the universe.......and I have had the privilege of living here. Feel bad for...

I still think Billy has a point, It does not appear that the discontinued 228 has dropped in price since its demise. I am not sure what the concern is with unavailable parts (unless you need a new hull) the rest are accessible through different manufacturers of the bits and pieces with usually...

You can fit two 7 inch displays in the box,. Have a Furuno and a Lowrance, use one for the fish finder and one for the chart. Have since flush mounted them both. The flush mount is on hinges so I have access to the box for storage.

Was snorkelling with wet suits last week and the water temp was 61F. Have found spots over the years in the summer months where some of the island bays and running across a warm current where we have seen 76-78 F. Usually it is a time when the brakes are applied the laundry comes off and we are...

https://adventuremarine.ca/product-category/motor-brackets/ This is the bracket I have on my 208 works great. 10 years no issues. You will have to cut a hole on the mounting side of the bracket to fit around your trim tab actuator . I have two group 31 AGM on the port side that balances the...

Yes, as seasick said, it is a small space, hardly worth the trouble of cutting and installing a hinged access door. Maybe cut your 6 inch hole first for an access, have a look then plate it or go to a bigger cover if you feel it works for you.

I cut a 6 inch hole (access plate) in the sole of the cabin about 12- 14 inches forward from the cabin door bulkhead. I can access the bilge drain from end to end. Initially there was a lot of fibreglass trimmings etc. cleaned it out by putting my power washer nose in the drain tube and it...

Ok OK Mustang, it is time to start the Mustang "Spot a Grady app" with appropriate comments on condition, recommendation and or deficiencies. No?

Phishead, As a frequent visiter to Desolation Sound and north up to Telegraph Cove and beyond, I would suggest top it up where you can as the further you get away from the larger towns the more fuel is going to cost. You have probably already done this, but before heading out with your trip...

Thanks guys I am and I will!!!

Thanks guys, I should be right in the running.

The helm cover on my 208 matches the bimini top side and aft curtain, so the snaps work for both.

Before installing my F200 I was running an F150 on my 208 with a Reliance 3 blade 141/2x 15 p prop. Getting 42 mph at WOT of 5800 rpms. That was with a full tank fishing gear and my wife. No bait tank and no ice. No hardtop.

Yes mine has sliding snaps that are adjustable but once positioned seem to stay in place to match (connect) to the snaps on the cover.

Like an brand new yacht!!!

That is exactly what I have with a waterproof zipper. Works great and leave it on if going on a lengthy trip.

John, there is a product called easy EZ strip all purpose remover that might be worth a try. Our low VOC Eco-friendly formulas clean up with just water providing The Safer Option for coating removal.

Consider installing a zipper in the centre about 2/3 of the way up from the floor. Had it done on mine making quick access tp the helm to put things under cover or retrieve something without undoing the the whole cover. Also for boat camping allows you to cover up the helm and cabin door...

Thanks John for the kind invite! Never been to Florida but what an opportunity. With the CD against the USD it gets a little too heavy for my pocket. Was thinking you just might bring your 228 up my way for a sea trial in the pristine waters off Vancouver Island. You would be welcome in my...

Good for you John, With the price of boats today you did well. Does not look that dirty from the pic. I have been wanting to upgrade from my 208 for years, but finding one for a good price is getting more difficult, especially in my corner of the country. Good luck and enjoy!!
