5000 miles later here we are. Not something I'd ever want to do again but about 1200 in fuel costs round trip no other option came close. Now comes the fun and $$$ turning it into a true westcoast boat.

He bought it at a salvage auction after Katrina. Said it had sunk bow down. Been sitting for 5+ years under a shed without being run. 2 X 4 came through the hard top and that hole was never patched. Also fiberglass damage near the livewell from another falling 2x4.

Hello all just got into the market looking for more boat than my 19'CC for socal offshore fishing. Did some research and decided an older 208 would fit my needs and budget which brought me here. Looking specifically for a 208 with a hardtop, at least 200hp 4 stroke and a trailer in good...
