Ky Grady I'm hoping that's the case. Thanks

Can't say I see much difference between my former '89 Overnighter and my new used 2000 20 8 in calmer waters. Hope to see a difference in some chop or I wasted a load of money. Have trimtabs on both. Opinions? Thanks

Disappointed with my 2000 208's storage space at the stern. There is none. My '89's was great. Any suggestions? Very little room between pilot seats also. Anyone ever change them? Thanks

I feel a lot better about my boat now. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. As for being spoiled I have to agree. When somebody told me about bouncing up and down when drifting and fishing on his deep vee ( not a Grady ) I can honestly say I had no idea what he was talking about.

Have an 89 overnighter. Trimtabs help but ride is bumpy in the Delaware Bay chop. Would I sacrifice the stability it has when drifting which is great if I upgraded to a SV2 hull on a 20 footer. I really don't want to be rocking around when fishing. I have a ridiculous amount of money in this...

Thanks for the comebacks . Can get very ugly . Larry

Just informed my 89 W/A 208 has a " wet " but not completely rotted transom . Looking for suggestions and an rough estimate on replacing it . Thanks , Larry

Went down to the marina today , noticed a lot of pulpits with anchors past the pilings . Captain there said it not supposed to be that way but he does okay going slow and pulling ropes . Mastering a spring line when alone sounds great . Thanks Seasick , Larry

Thanks , pivot idea sounds good .

Thanks . One issue is the lacking of a finger , has just one pole and a 4 ft finger walkway .

Any tips backing into a slip with a 20ft Overnighter with little tide appreciated . I have a chance to get a slip where I need to do this but am out of the water and can't check it out . Am use to going in frontwards against a 3 mph tide and do ok . Don't like the idea of leading with my motor...

Thanks , the bolt was loose but the gypsy is very worn . Larry

Any tips on changing the gypsy on the horizon 400 . Doesn't look difficult but would be nice to have some input . Will be using the metal upgrade . Thanks, larry

Blue and sea gull droppings look a lot worse than white .
