I have a Yamaha 225 on my Adventure w/hardtop and wouldn't want less. Max for this hull (2005) was 230hp. When I repower, it'll be another 225.

I have a 2005 Yamaha 225 on my 208 w/ hardtop running a Q3 14.5 x 17. It'll make 6000rpm WOT and pushes the boat 45+ with a normal load. Typically cruise at 26-30mph @ 3800rpm or somewhere right in that range.

Good luck with your search. I had similar criteria when I was looking for a 208. It took about 18 months to find what I wanted, and even then I had to make some exceptions. Well worth the effort and time in the end.

That is sharp! Nice work. Did you fabricate that yourself or....?

Great write-up. That's a hell of a trip in those conditions. Much respect!

Congrats and enjoy! I have no regrets at all with my Adventure.

I put an Atlantic Towers hard top on my 208 a couple years ago. I have radar, lights, etc. mounted up there. I'm running a Yamaha 225 on mine, and haven't noticed any perceivable drop in performance. I'll say this - with the hardtop and curtains up, it's like a sail in all but the most gentle of...

I did the same to my 2005 Adventure last year. I ended up going with Atlantic Towers "Tower in a Box", as it was going to take months (at least) to get a custom top built here in northern WI. Installation was fairly straightforward - I built a frame to hold it in the approximate position I...

I did a similar project this spring on my 2005 Adventure, using Starboard. Although I would have preferred larger, the 9" Garmin was the biggest chart plotter that would fit without really hacking things up.

This is a 942xs installed this spring. Updated to the latest rev before I splashed the boat.

Hmmm. Same Garmin on my Adventure, similar behavior noted. Except the notice DOES just go away without any intervention on my part. I assume you're running the most current software?

Nice job on the restore. What part of Lake Superior are you boating on? Had my Grady out last week and I haven't put her to bed yet... Last year we were in the Apostle Islands on December 3rd ;)
