I agree with the above. I would now be happy to get $20k now. Yes, I like the 232 Gulfstream, 265 Express and the 282 sailfish 2006 or newer (or at least 2006 or newer motors for NMEA 2000) That is a great price, especially with twin 200 4 strokes. Hours are a little higher, but the price...

Yes. sent you a DM.

I still have the old girl and she is treating me well. She is almost perfect for me and the fishing I do, which is primarily solo, out of a marina and within 10 miles from shore (which is my personal comfort range with this boat). I am still holding out for that unicorn deal on a larger Grady...

I will start by trying weather stripping on the locker itself to prevent further damage. I will see how that goes amd go from there.

Hi seasick. The older models did not come with struts or latches. I have a 1995.

Yes.

I am tired of guests accidentally slamming my fish box lids when closing. I have fixed the chips once already a few years ago, but new ones are starting. Has anyone had success with adding gas struts? If so which ones worked best for you. I see some stainless ones on amazon 20lb, 8-15". but...

Fluking has finally picked up at Sea Girt and Axel Carlson. This was friday before the storm.

Good luck to you as well

No offense taken, this is why I ask. You may be right about the $15k, and I certainly agree on market timing and no trailer as detractors. Thanks for sharing the Craigslist listing. While I do not think my boat is worth $35k either, I do have two comments on your response. 1) bottom fishing is...

Same to you. Where are you located?

I am on the fence if I should sell my current boat. I am really happy with this boat and is great for most of what I like to do. It is a 1995 208 Adventure with a F150 (800 hours), minn kota 36v trolling motor and 50AH lithium battery, transom is good, 2007, 7" fish finder/depth sounder and no...

I just moved my 95 Adventure to the Manasquan this April. Hope to see you out there.

My 1995 208 adventure does not have the upgraded spring hinges like the newer ones and I would like to prevent them from getting chipped (already re-gel coated once) I am considering replacing with friction hinges. My only concern is that they will not be strong enough to hold up the heavy lid...
