Lucky, I think you are going to enjoy the sea post, definitely takes a lot of the edge off. I also use this gorilla anti-fatigue pad on the floor under the helm. Gorilla Grip Anti Fatigue Cushioned Kitchen Floor Mats, Thick Ergonomic Standing Office Desk Mat, Waterproof Scratch Resistant...

Not too pricey, if you go with the black base. The way I always look at it is, each one of my fishing setups is pricey as well. Burnewiin system is a great upgrade with the fender holders, rod holders and what ever else you want. I had 2 OEM ones break, the bottom half must have corroded to...

The standards are 30 degree, but one of the best upgrades I have done to my 228 was to put Burnewiin rod holders on my boat. Check them out, I do not know anyone who regrets their purchase.

I don't think it is about the top end speed with a 228 / 226, I would want it for the low end grunt. I regularly fish albacore with 3 guys and 400lbs of ice and all the gear. Now pile on 30 fish and things get heavy quickly. The torque of a 250 or 300 would be nice for offshore fishing...

I run my 228 regularly 50+ miles offshore chasing albacore out of Garibaldi or Illwaco. They are an amazing small boat that will handle way more than I would ever want to. That being said, I pick my days and I carry a life raft, epirb, survival suits, plb's, and all the other necessary safety...

You're going to love it and what a generous gesture you did. Well done...

Lucky, Sorry about the recent health issues, but I am stoked you're still getting after it. I put a SeaSpension seat base in my 228 a couple of years ago. I also suffer from back issues, and this has made a huge difference. Between the SeaSpension seat base and a Gorilla floor mat where my...

I have a yamaha 9.9 hi-thrust on my 228, it will push you along just fine even in a decent amount of current. I know some people don't care for a kicker, but to me you would be a fool to go offshore with out a back up.

I used www.https://www.affordableboatcushions.com out of Florida and they did a good job and are reasonable.

That looks. great, did you cut the plexiglass yourself?

My fishing partner has a Journey 258 and I have spent many days on that boat in all kinds of weather. I have spent 5 or 6 days fishing on a gulfstream 232 and I much prefer the 258. The ride is much better on the 258 compared to the 232 in sloppy conditions and I attribute that to waterline...

looks amazing, out of curiosity are you going to install windshield wipers on her?

I have a 1999 228 and mine is dry as well. Replaced the trim tabs and rebedded the swim platform. All the areas I drilled and filled, were in great shape. Being that the 228 doesn’t have the dreaded band cap, I think this models transom is less of an issue.

Not sure why you are taking the lid off? I have replaced my pump on my 228 a few times and never took the lid off. Undo the the lift arm and then the screws around the top.

DENNISG01 is correct.

It does go underneath, and I used life caulk to adhere it to the inside of the bracket. I do not have any pictures at the moment, but will see if I can get a few.

It needs the break in it to get through the hole.

I have 1999 Seafarer 228 that has a Gill bracket on in. Over the years, the ring that the inspection plate screws into has stripped out. I had a local guy 3D print a couple for me, and they are perfect. The final ring, has M4 inserts so the chances of it stripping out are slim. His name is...
