    Anyone in SoCal fishing offshore?

    OK 2025 season may just be starting for private boat guys in SoCal. Anyone going yet? So far, only a few inshore trips for me. I hope to get out a little further this weekend.

    Towing a GW Adventure 208 One Mile 4x/Year with Chrysler Minivan?

    My Adventure 208 with full gas, gear and galvanized trailer is 5600 on a scale. I would not tow my boat with a minivan. As mentioned above, I think you may have serious issues with slipping on the ramp.

    2021 Adventure 208 Build

    WOW - Great upgrade on the helm chairs. You put a lot of effort and work into your rig and it shows. I have an older 208 and look to your boat for inspiration!

    another Prop help thread

    I should note, that the current prop was from my previous 2 stroke motor. My dealer recommended a new prop and will suggest one, but i wanted to get opinions from the board as part of my research.

    another Prop help thread

    Hi Dennis - compression and engine are fine, low hours and runs great. just took a look at the picture I took and I did NOT have the engine trimmed up correctly, it was showing 1 bar. Looks like I'll have to go back out and retest! Fully loaded, I had my boat loaded with 2 adults, full bait...

    another Prop help thread

    Hi all, I have a GW Adventure 208 with a Yamaha F150 on it. Current prop is a 3 blade stainless steel 15 1/4 X 15, max RPM at full throttle is 5300 (this is with my boat fully loaded). Any suggestions to get me more RPM, closer to 6000 at full throttle? Thanks!

    Bilge Pumps

    Seasick - 100% agree! I have 2 bilge pumps and a highwater alarm. 2nd pump is located a few inches higher in my bilge. I also have separate hoses and thru hulls, 1 for for each pump. I check both pumps before I leave the dock.

    Bilge Pumps

    Not overkill in my opinion!

    Bilge Pumps

    Great reminder! I keep my boat on a trailer, but that is a MUST pre launch checklist item for me.
