Thanks everyone. I like bayrats advice to stay shorter but at a better hotel. I plan on lots of R&R with some boating and or fishing. The wife and daughter can shop and beach it. BVI actually sounds like a good day trip. I will update everyone after the trip

My wife and I won a trip (our choice of destination) worth $3500 plus the cost of airfare. I have to use before May 1, and since my wife is a school teacher we thought we would go to the Virgin Islands when she is on February vacation. I would love any feedback on the US Virgins Islands, good...

Thanks for all replies. I really like what I have now read on the Garmin 740 series.This is a great site.

I am planning for the Spring already and want to install a new gps/fishfinder/depthfinder, radar and radio. Given the relatively small storage in the helm area of a 208, can you make any recommendations by model and manufacturer as to systems you like. Radar is just wishful thinking I am sure...

Thanks everyone. I will sub out the drum brakes with the Kodiaks. Parthery, I see you have a Sportsmen in the photo. Did you have an Adventure 208 at one time? If yes, why the switch? langski93

Bow Rail Needed The first section of bow rail on the port side of my 208 is bent and I would like to replace. Since you are installing a new rail for your pulpit do you have the old one? I would be willing to purchase it from you. Let me know thanks. I can be PM'd at langski93@aol.com Langski

F150 or F250 Thanks to everyone for all responses. I was leaning F250, but now I think I will go F150 with max tow package and not worry about it. Probably add a few more creature comforts. Langski Live Free or Die

I calculate the following on my Adventure 208: Boat 3800 Engine 600 Fuel 600 Trailer 1500 People 600 Toys, Ice Food etc 200 7300 lbs With tow package on F150, am I too close to its max rating? I calculate it at between 7800 and 8400lbs depending on set up. Currently looking at...

From the feedback, it looks like at some point both aluminum and poly were spec'd in this model. Thanks to all for taking the time to respond. It's a great site. Langski93

I called GW customer service about a year ago as I was replacing the deck plates and asked if it was possible that I had a plastic (polyethelene?) gas tank. I was assured all 1999 Adventure 208s had aluminum tanks. Today I was taking another real close look and either I don't know the difference...

Last year, I paid 25k for a 1999 w/ 200hp SSII. No pulpit, no hardtop and dated electronics. Great shape though, with trailer, low hours, very good compression test. Always trailered, never painted. Very first boat I have ever owned and could not have come close to buying new. Love it and I...
