Hey guys I repowered my 1993 208 with the new Yamaha F200 I4. it has been great so far and here are the preliminary performance numbers. I had a chance to break it in last night and went for a couple of short blasts after the 2.5 hr mark. These are the preliminary results: Conditions were as...

No 18.5 before applying my old motor. So 15 out of pocket. The GW website shows 3.9 to 4.1 mpg at cruise on the V6 200. According to yamaha reps this motor should exceed the fuel efficiency of the 3.3L. I had a carb 150 yami and I needed more speed and was also doing 2.1-2.3 regardless of load...

Yep. It's gonna run me 18,000 usd including fl tax with full rigging and square yamaha command link gauges. I did sell my old motor which was running perfect so that offsets me a couple of thousand.

I am ordering one for my 208 on Monday. Will post performance results once she's done!

I had a custom made cover for my 208 and it slips over the pulpit and hangs off the hardtop rails and there are no drawstrings needed. It also has a strap that goes under the engines cavitation plate and that holds it plenty in the back.

I had mine custom made in 2 sections. it really is easy to put on and was about 1700 if I remember correctly.(208 Adventure) Sunbrella material with gore tex stitching. I recoomend you do it right the first time. if you go the cheap route you will be replacing the cover more often than you like.

mine is a 93' that I picked up 2 years ago with less than 100 hrs on her. She was even stolen last year and after 8 days thankfully returned by our local PD. I cannot express how happy I was to have her back. No insurance settlement could replace how I have her set up. Im with SmokyMtnGrady. I...

This is what I have on my 208. Works great. Custom made. and I also had the cabin filler cushion custom made Removable Straps were installed for when she is in the slip....

Great! Im not going crazy! i also saw an extreme abundance of Gradys on the water on Sunday by the Key Biscayne area. It has to have been an event....

Walkers. the only surprise on the thru hulls was that the foam that lines the livewell and fishbox has to be partially removed in order to access them. Aside from that it was pretty straightforward! Also i bought 300' of the 8 Plait rope from seco south with 15' of chain for the lewmar windlass...

Pulpit was 1150 including the bow rail insert. The pulpit kit brings everything. Cleats, bow rail, shanchions, even the almond caulking.

Check out my recent progress on my 93' 208. it may give some other 208 owners some ideas. Sorry for the dirtyness of the boat!! these were taken while work was in progress. Newly installed factory pulpit: Aquatic AV IPOD Stereo Stereo Custom Boxes in helm with 6.5" Poly Planars...

Re: Adventure 208 + Yamaha F225A - performance and PROP choi [Antaris, It is a 15x15 pitch mercury enertia. i bought it from Ken at propgods who was recommended earlier in this thread. He gave me his advice. Sent me the prop and it was the right prop. the first try. it sure was expensive (over...

I have a 150 208 with hardtop and eisenglass enclosures, no bottom paint. The boat has plenty of torque and will plane no problem with 6-7 people on board. I have a 2 stroke Yammie running a 15" diameter 15" pitch Mercury Enertia propeller. My performance numbers with the eisenglass up 3 people...

In my opinion 6K for that boat is alot of money. it seems to be in really rough shape and the corrosion on that 175 is pretty far along. i would wait for a cleaner boat to come along. Good luck

jeff. it was $1150 with all parts included. Now i am going to buy a Lewmar 700 Pro Series Stainless windlass so final cost should be under 2K with me doing the installation work myself.

After extensive searching. i called my local grady Dealer and bit the bullet. I bought the OEM pulpit, rail and stanchions..I really didnt want to spend the money now but when my boat was stolen they took the custom cover so I need to make a new one and now the new one will be able to have the...

hey guys, Since i got my boat back Ive wanted to make the upgrade of adding a pulpit and a windlas to it. It is a 208 adventure. i know some of the guys on here have done it and I was wondering what the cost of the pulpit and the railing was. The windlass cost is self explanatory.. If you guys...
