I have a 2006 208 with a 2006 Yamaha 225 4 stroke and a hardtop . No problem with weight or performance or corrosion in the exhaust port section . Just turned 1100 hours . Had the top custom built and installed by Modlin Aluminum Welding in Farmville, N.C. .Farmville is near Greenville where the...

I have the same setup with a hardtop . Same age ( 2006 )with over 1000 hours . My gauge shows 2.7 - 3.0 with 3 on board and equipment , ice , etc. at 4000 rpm running on smooth seas . Your gauge may need resetting as suggested . Plane , trim tabs , seas and wind bring those numbers down for me ...

If you are located close to North Carolina, then Keith Modlin at Modlins Aluminum Welding in Farmville, N. C. does excellent custom work . Check him out . He can make you anything and the way you want it . Price is right !

Call your Grady dealer parts department . They have them in stock . I had to replace mine .

Thanks for all the feedback. I think I will go with the recommendation of replacing with "Dry Launch " lights and make sure they are grounded properly as recommended.

I want to upgrade my trailer lights . Mine are the 2006 originals that came on the trailer . I'm tired of the salt water corrosion and the lights not working every year when I start towing my Grady . Question is: what are the best sealed L E D lights to go with ?

I had a real nice custom hardtop built for my 208. Has an all wired electronics box overhead, custom full enclosure, rod holders, spreader lights, antennas, " the works ", etc.. This is the best upgrade I have made for my 2006 208 Adventure. Total package less than $ 5 K. in 2010 price. Totally...

When I purchased my Grady new in 2006 no one said anything about using a transom saver. Later I was reading an article about using savers. I called Yamaha and they said definitely use savers on motors over 150 H.P. because of the weight. Yamaha sells their brand and so does Bass Pro. After...

Forgot you wanted the cost. Hardtop with electronics box installed was $ 3,600.00 Full enclosure was $ 1,500.00 Spreader lights $ 175.00 Antennas were his cost but he installed and wired everything to the unused accessory switches and radios.

We had our 2006 Adventure 208 hardtop built and installed last year. Got the electronics box, all wiring, new antennas, spreader lights, installed a new VHF in electronics box and a really nice new enclosure from Modlins Welding in Farmville N.C.. Call and talk to Keith Modlin. They actually...

My 208 has a hardtop. Not sure about a unit with internal antenna for GPS would receive well. My Furuno antenna is mounted on gunnel starboard bow area. 7 inch GPS screen fits in my electronics box along with a 7 inch screen Furuno depth / sonar but it fills it up. I do not prefer the combo...

My Adventure 208 with a 225 F.S. has a 200 n.m. range with a 82 gallon fuel tank. I would think the 228 would have at least that or more.

Question ? My 225 is a 2006 model with 900+ hours that is used in salt water and fresh water. Should I be concerned ? Thanks for advice.

I have a 2006 Adventure 208 with a 225 Yamaha F.S.. It is what I need for what I do and with fuel prices continuing to go up I decided not to go to the next level in size and twin engines. The Adventure rides good and is easy to handle and trailers well . With 3 guys, gear and good weather I get...

I use a transom mount on a Furuno and a thru hull on a Lowrance. Both work good but the thru hull never loses bottom signal. In shallow stirred up water as an in an inlet I occasionally lose bottom signal with the transom mount. Trick is to find the "sweet spot" in the hull before mounting it...
