    208 Upgrades

    The cover was custom made and it has straps with clips that hold on to the hardtop and also adjustable straps that hold on to the trailer. It has already been rained on and not a drop of water stays on the cover or goes in the boat. Its great. Cost was $1,750.00

    Looking at buying my first boat. 1984 Seafarer

    It looks like a nice boat but a 130 is way underpowered. Just to give you an Idea I own a 208 with a 150 Yamaha and my boat barely sees 40 mph on a good day with very light cargo. That Seafarer will not even plane if it has 4 passengers aboard.

    Turning On Freshwater

    I found the cause. Apparently the fuse had fallen out behind the helm at the fuse panel. Put in a 20 amp and shes golden. I purchased a stainless steel Scandvik shower that I will install tonight.. Thanks for all the replies.

    May in Miami- Grady, Seacraft, Hoog

    Seanik, Thats at university dock. Thanks for all the compliments on the boat. The hardtop was by far the selling factor aside from the fact that I wanted this boat. i was going to buy a newer example but this boat had the top and had been dry stored so it shows almost no signs of aging at...

    Running Trim Tab Wires Forward

    Strikezone, Thanks a million for that diagram. I would love to be able to run the wires through the tube. Onoerics parachute cord idea is great if the tube doesnt work, however I would really rather have all the wires running through the same place.

    Hey guys I purchsed a new set of Lenco tabs for my 208 and plan to install them this weekend. Do any of you guys have any helpful tips for running the wires from the transom of the boat to the helm? I am a little skeptical about how easy or hard this is gonna be. Thanks, Ed

    New for me in 2010

    That GPH sounds about right. Also the clicking is from the analog hour meters. Nothing to be concerned with. They do that right out of the box. Nice boat and congratulations.

    208 Adventure Yam 150 Prop Advice

    Fisherman, You were able to maintain the same 30 mph cruise? Thats great. I would think that the powertech would be better as if you have more weight you can still reach the higher rpm under load..
