I looked at this boat again today, he moved it to a new location. $35,000.00 OBO. How does one know if it has the corrosion issues? Scope it?

I just saw this for sale and I thought I would share, I know nothing about the boat but it looks good. Chapin SC

Does it have the raw water washdown? Have the wheel bearings been serviced lately?

Yes it is, siting pretty on Lake Greenwood, SC

Good looking boat Mike

I have owned 2 208s. My first was a 2005, no hardtop with a F200 6 cylinder. I always thought it was under powered. My 2nd, long story, was a 2003, hardtop with a 200 hpdi. I thought this engine was perfect for the boat but it is a 2 stroke. 4000 rpm, 30 mph. great combo. That being said I would...

I had a 2000 OX66 225. Here's what mini did. If I throttle up slowly checking the RPMs when it gets to 2000 it sorta "kicks in" and speeds up to 2600 and stays constant. After researching this on the net I read that many others have this same issue. I guess that is the way it is. It runs on 5...

I always wonder about those "ladies" in their heels on the boats. I was at Haulover this past February and watched the boats, I didn't have a boat. I did speak to the Wavy Boats guy and he showed me his equipment he was definitely Pro all the way. These are big money boats and crazy waters there...

Well I talked to the dealer and I was mistaken, it is a 1991 and my rep said this was not the boat for me. Sound advice, I'm walking away.

Interesting that no one mentioned the 250 HPDI. The dealer is a Grady dealer that I have done business with for 25 years and they have always been fair with me. I will drop by and take some pictures.

I found a much used 1999 228G, Hardtop, trailer with a, guess what? 2004 250 HPDI that checkouts out OK and the boat is structurally sound I am told. There are issues, pumps, switches, worn out bolsters, etc and it needs work. I was told as is $9000 and it they fix all that is wrong the price is...

Reckon there might be some deals on repowers right now?

I have a friend with a 300 ETEC on his Edgewater that he takes from Fl to Bimini and he has a 15' skiff that had a Yamaha F70 and he sold the engine and bought an ETEC 75 because he didn't have enough get up and go. He swears by those engines and I know he will be heart broken. I repowered a...

ETEC is no more. BRP Advances Marine Strategy by Focusing on Boats and New Technologies Company discontinues the manufacturing of outboard engines and agrees with market leader Mercury Marine to support boat packages.

I tried to watch also, it was too unbelievable, I passed also. Just 4 wanna-be thugs.
