Hey, I’m out east these days out about where the CT River meets the Sound, EVERY day seems like it’s 2-3 footers and about a foot apart lol!

Hey Everyone! After being away from Grady’s for a few years after owning 2 208 Adventures I’m looking at a Fisherman 216. Can’t seem to find much info here and outside of the Boat US video review and Fisherman Mag review don’t know much first hand info on them. What’s the word Pro and Con...

Great Boat! I had 2 and loved them, good luck with yours!

Seems like it and that’s a shame. I’ve owned 2 of them in the past and always thought it was the perfect boat for fishing here in the Northeast. But it’s seems like the Cuddy Cabin boat has gone out of fashion looking at the amount of center consoles out on the Sound here in eastern CT! Seems...

i got a response saying her husband died and she’s at her daughters recovering from throat surgery.... boat is available thru a shipping agency....total scam. I flagged it but never heard back again.

I’m still on the fence but thanks for all of the great posts!

For whatever reason, that site has never been super warm and fuzzy about Grady’s. That being said a couple of those guys had credible complaints and posted the pics. It wasn’t pretty...and you’ve gotta wonder how it got past Q.C. but most of us know they make a damn good boat!

I’ll look into the Gull Wings, thanks!

Hey All! Haven't been on in awhile as I sold my (second) 208 a couple of years ago. I’ve moved up to CT and now reside a stones throw from the water. I’ve been to the shows the last couple of years at Mohegan and am thinking about a used 216 With a 250 Yami on it. Is anyone here running one and...

What a GREAT post! Thanks

John Skinner's website is pretty amazing, that guy can fish! Easy to follow instructions too. I've found his stuff really helpful.

Sorry Trapper, I meant to give it a look when I was out on Wednesday and totally forgot. I'll try again next week! :sorry

I agree - I've got that same Garmin 741xs on my 208 and it's a great unit!

I'm on my second 208 and have been loving them for 21 years now. We dock bow forward at my marina so I guess I'm pretty used to walking around the Cuddy and find it fine. I've never really enjoyed CC boats as you're just so much more exposed to the weather and I've never found a very comfortable...
