    Adventure 208 Multiple Upgrades photos

    Lovely stuff. Neat idea for the speakers, I must say - not sure whether there is some sort of weird sound cancelation or whatever. In any case, it's dead space used well!

    Re: Adventure 208 + Yamaha F225A - performance and PROP choi Many thanks for the reply Walkers Edge. Just so that I do not forget to tell you - the one thing I do know about the Yamaha 225 is that it's heavy! When two mid-weighed guys sit at rear seats, we do get a bit of water from the...
