This is what a Marlin and an Adventure look like when the tide goes out. This is in the Annisquam and hard sand. Your slip looks like mostly mud. Plenty of boats in Essex sit in the mud for part of the tide. I’d be worried about the rocks at your slip entrance though.

For a stern anchor look at the smaller Fortress or Guardian with some chain. They’re light and easy to store and also can be taken apart for storage. I find coming in bow first while dropping the bow anchor much easier. Then spin the boat around, get your beach gear off, put your stern anchor in...

Freedom 415 and Canyon 456 were already announced. To me it looks like the trend is going to high margin larger boats that get bigger and bigger.

I think it’s priced fairly. I had the same year 208 with a hardtop and F200 and I miss that boat. Not many 208’s with the hardtop and it really opens the boat up. You’ve done the most expensive and painful maintenance items already. The poly fuel tank should be good forever. Considering the...

I’d list it at 25k. Going to be harder to sell without a trailer though.

Nice boat, are you upgrading to larger?

Really well priced. Should sell quickly. I just went through the dual console search myself and would have bought this in a second.

It’s priced really well. Should go quick.

Sold, great boat. Sorry to see her go.

Port battery bank and switch.

Motors have to come off so it does take a while. If you have the equipment to do that probably not bad. You will want to inspect all of the transom when you get the plate off. My Marlin needed glass work done as well.

Wow that is a good deal. Even if it needs a repower soon it’s a bargain. Bet it will be under contract before the weekend is over.

Very nice! Hard tops are pretty rare on 208s. I loved mine when I had it.

Thanks, they are local to me. That’s a nice boat but pricey.

Sold my Marlin. Looking for a dual or center console. 225 would be perfect but also considering 205. 230 center console also would work. I‘m in Mass. Looking around 60k budget.
