    buying 1st boat - advice sought (208 adventure)

    Adventure 208 Nce boat, love mine, a lot of boat for 20'. All advice above is good, my 1994 has some transom moisture, your surveyer will pick that up. I also agree that the Yammie engine is best, mine is a saltwater series 175, plenty of power. Do key in on the 1993 and later hull which is...

    Trolling motor I do not have direct experience with a trolling motor on a 208, but, I have used a trolling motor (minn kota) on my Dad's Lund 17 and I own a 208. I don't think your typical trolling motor has anywhere enough grunt to give you any control over your 208, particularly with any...
