    Crab Puller

    Added the Ace Pro on the cannon mount. Functions well wish the base fit better in the swivel mount. May do some custom retrofit of cannon base so it does not wobble. That being said, it did pull up crab and I was happy not burning out my arms. The heavy lifting was a largw glass of...

    West Coast Grady Norcal Tuna Success

    After I bought my new to me Grady 208 Adventure and getting feedback about my kicker in this forum thought I would share my rare CA tuna run. Was 36 miles off Bragg. Was not hot and heavy but for a first timer I feel accomplished with my skills and Grady.

    West Coast Grady Norcal Tuna Success

    Want to thank this forum for helping outfit my new to me 93 208 adventure hardtop. The advice on my kicker gave me confidence and led me to success. After many San Francisco king salmon catches I share my biggest accomplishment. A total of a 97 mile run out of Bragg. Was not hot and heavy...

    Scotty downrigger mounting advice.

    Mine were mounted on the back corner by previous owner. Not what I would have done but stuck with it now. If I set them up I would have mounted them forward just behind the mid gunnel rod holder.

    1993 208 Adventure Hardtop Kicker Addition

    Update. Added weight of kicker is going to make me install gemlux duckbill scuppers. Getting feet wet when in corners.

    1993 208 Adventure Hardtop Kicker Addition

    I moved swum platform to starboard. As an avid wakeboarder, I like the swim platform on the starboard so if I have someone or something in the water I can keep my eyes on it without looking over obstructions or people. I actually think my configuration is safer. That is my 2c.

    1993 208 Adventure Hardtop Kicker Addition

    Unfortunately my shop made a mistake somehow. Fuel is not getting to kicker. It is sucking the bulb dry. Back to the shop on warranty. Fml
