    Grady White Tournament 192 Soft Spot in Floor

    I may be making a long drive to look at a 1999 Grady White Tournament 192 for sale. Owner seems very honest and shared with me that the survey he had done 4 years ago came up with a soft spot in the floor between the captains and passenger seats. He said that the marina he keeps it at has been...

    2007 GW 208 with crack on inside of transom?

    thanks everyone. i'm set on a 208 and after this, I would be happy with one twice as old if in good shape so I think that expands my search a bit. Well, maybe.

    2007 GW 208 with crack on inside of transom?

    To give an update / ending on this, I walked away from this deal. Found out Monday morning that the boat was left docked in shallow water during a storm and had some quality time on the rocks. The suspicious painted over area actually went the whole length of the bottom of the hull. It was...

    2007 GW 208 with crack on inside of transom?

    OK, looked at my potentially new to me 2007 GW 208 this weekend. Condition could be better for the year and never been on saltwater but there are a few things. Cosmetic stuff and things like broken zippers and such not a huge deal. However, the skeg on the motor is bent. No damage on the motor...

    Surveyor Selection

    "...Make an aggressive offer ..." Hmmm, have had two boats slip out from in front of me that were not on the market long. I already put in an offer at asking price on this, which I don't think would have lasted the day let alone the weekend. I'm fairly certain that this is probably the best...

    Surveyor Selection

    Yes, I'm in NH. Last weekend I was looking at boats in So. Connecticut and Rhode Island. Sold mine and finally taking the plunge to get the boat of my dreams. However, today I just ran into the cherry of all 208's. A 2007 with an F200, no bottom paint, and HAS NEVER SEEN SALT WATER! I swear you...

    Surveyor Selection

    I am close to making an offer on a boat and going to be getting a surveyor to go through the boat. It is a 2000 GW 208 with a 150 2stroke yamaha. I looked the boat over and it was in great shape topside and the motor looked clean for the age. There was an hour meter on the boat but looked...

    Tournament 192

    Wanted a 208 for the longest time, mostly for the protection for the wife and 8 year old son. If it were just myself and friends, center console - hands down. I also want to trailer my boat. I like to move around a lot and fish in a lot of different water bodies. The Tournament 192 now seems...

    Tournament 192 / Tournament Series

    Curious to know from current owners of this model if they find it to be the crossover between a walkaround and a center console? I have been looking at the 208 and came close to buying one recently (outboard had low comp). Since I have also noticed the Tournament series to be a lighter tow with...

    Towing GW Adventure 208 with Ford Explorer?

    Looking for any 208 owners that tow with an Explorer or similar sized SUV. I have an 05 with V8 and tow package. Tow rating is up to 7200#. Pulling the trigger soon on a used 208 I hope to not have to upgrade the tow vehicle yet. Most places are going to be within 50 miles from me.
