Hi VMD, I live in Carlsbad. I keep my boat on a trailer and either launch from Oceanside or San Diego, depending on the fishing.

I used 4200 and several clamps to re install molding and it is holding up ok after 2 years. I like the double sided tape idea as well, I may try that next time.

I posted this in another thread. Since this post, I have changed out my prop to a 14 1/2 to 14 pitch to get me to 6000 rpm. I've haven't done any long runs with it, but I am seeing slightly higher mpg. I Previous prop was a 15 1/4 15m, the data below is from that prop. My experience with...

Hi Don, I own and tow a GW 208. Mustang was very close on the weight, on a scale, boat, trailer, gear and1/2 fuel tank full my boat weighs 5650 lbs. I currently tow with a 2019 Toyota Sequoia - tows great with this truck and there is plenty of space in it. Another benefit of the Sequoia is...

All right - Great to see folks getting out. I will target yellowtail and if lucky run into one of those bluefins that "Get Some" GOT, nice fish!! I plan to head to the Corner and south this saturday if we have good weather! See you out there!

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.

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.

Oh yeah - Boat US Towing Membership!

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!

All of the above and emory cloth to clean battery terminals, other connections, a good electrical connection kit, battery pack and flashlight. I also carry hull plug kit, I forget what it is called, it looks like a red cone...

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.

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...

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!

Beautiful boat!

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.
