Nice! Miss that Dungeness although the blue crabs on the east coast are good. I grew up in Seattle/Tacoma. The saltwater fishing here in NJ I am just starting into after 30 years of fly fishing freshwater mostly. I do miss fly fishing into the beach sea-grass for sea-run cutthroat trout in...

To the OP, good luck getting good trim setting for you 235, extrapolating experience from other hills. On the 208 with Yamaha 200 running a 4-blade Solus 14.5x15, trimmed in to start, then typical running for me is 3 bars up the digital gauge. Really rough taking it on the bow I will trim all...

General guidelines to follow for sure, but also very boat model and individual boat specific depending on configuration. I am learning that on my 208 I use more engine trimmed in that I originally anticipated. My theory is that with the short boat, the transition to the shallower deadrise...

Pretty underweight for documentation?

Hear you on deck space, it runs out fast. Kids (well they are grown girls) already had me get a 6x6 floating dock. Very cool, I can fold it in half partially inflated and it sits ahead of the transom. The kids sit in the transom seats with their legs stretched out on it. A 228 you wouldn’t...

Cool, my new to me 208 is down in Barnegat Bay but I live in Madison NJ. I drove it down from Alpine, across from Yonkers, would drive it back up for a big meet up. Atlantic Highlands is kinda midpoint?

I’d think that you could have those filler cushions made by a boat upholstery shop. I had my local dealer inquire about the bow cushions for a 208. Grady wants $1600. A local sail loft/upholstery shop will do it this winter for half.

Thanks for the 208 endorsements and advice on boat and gear. I have been looking at a Grady for 18 years while I was land bound. As you know, you leave the world behind when you pull out of the slip. I can see the incremental utility of a 228 but this local (in NJ) 208 ticked so many boxes...

I followed a friend of mine to that spot, I think as you follow double creek channel around heading east you can bear south in front of the Dike, that is the back channel to Loveladies Harbor. As you enter there is a small area to the right where you can tuck in, just above a patch that looks...

Picked up this nice ‘21 208! Nicely outfitted (except no livewell or freshwater), F200 mechanical. Super thrilled, based out of Waretown NJ on Barnegat Bay. Will work my way from bay to inshore and then a bit offshore, plus lots of sandbar and cruising action. Just getting to know her and...
