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...

My 95 Adventure 208 center cap insert tab has broken off and am having a hard time finding a replacement center cap (2-1/4"). Have you had any luck? I am seeing car hub cap centers at 2-1/4" on amazon, i wonder if that would work...

Same boat...literally and figuratively. 95 Adventure, 5'6" here. I made a 3" stool out of white oak and painted it with rustoleum 2X ultra-coat off-white this past winter. I put little rubber feet on the underside of the stool to protect the gel coat underneath. working well so far. A...

I have a 95 Adventure 208 with a helm cover and the duratrim that is under the cover held up ok. I wiped with boiled linseed oil and it came back beautifully. The duratrim in the cockpit was another story. it was completely faded and yellow. I removed it, sanded, and sprayed with off-white...

Crabbing in BB has been HOT!!! picked up 47 keepers in a few hours the other day hand lining with bunker.

I have a 95 Adventure 208 re-powered with a 2007 F150. I run at most with 2-3 ppl, fishing gear and fuel always over 1/2 in Barnegat Bay NJ. (Have not gone offshore yet, but Barnegat Bay is not stranger to snotty weather) There is enough power 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time I wish...

does anybody know where I can find a lampshade for this cuddy light fixture? 1995 adventure.

Feeling today's temps and knowing my boat is not yet in the water gives me agita!
