    windless for 205 overnighter

    Don't need a windless ? Depends where you fish . In the Delaware bay we need one or a strong mate . 3 mph tide , 2/3 ft chop with a 100 ft out and you need it . Horizon 4000 works perfectly on my Overnighter . We also use a heavy sea claw anchor to hold bottom . Pulling anchor can really tear...

    trim tabs

    Appreciate all the help . My primary issue is the 89 is a pre Sea V hull . I want to be sure the tabs can make some difference . Rides like a bathtub in a 1 - 2 short chop . Hydrofoils and trimming do not help . Otherwise boat has been rebuilt and repowered , can't see getting a newer one if...

    trim tabs

    Appreciate any comments on whether trim tabs may help smooth out the rough ride on my 89 overnighter 20 footer . Fish the Delaware bay with a quick chop . Would like to be able to handle 2-3 footers better , not looking for a miracle . Thanks

    canvass enclosure

    Thanks for the helpful suggestions . What's perplexing me is the side I'm having difficulty with fit fine last year . It was new then .The other side is really tight which is new . I'm hoping it's a heat issue . At the end of the season I'll get it straightened out . I'm in the water now ...

    Price on Re-Power

    repower Repowered to a Yami 150 4 stroke on a '89 overnighter. 12G's installed. No controls , rides 100% better than my J 200 2 strk., 1/2 the gas , you don't need a 200 HP on this boat . Good luck. Larry

    repower surprise

    Thanks FF. Good knowledge on the Sea V . I have come to the conclusion that 200 hp is too much for our boat. It's been my experience that lenght is less of a factor than we think as far as a rough ride in short chop . Been on 40 - 50 ft headboats, didn't make for a better day . Did you go to the...

    HPDI vs ETEC

    Why mix oil when you don't have to in a cylinder ? Secondly, I don't know how it affects you Big Boys but the 150 Yami on my 204 puts my old 89 Johnson 200 to shame. Gas is halved, weight's the same but most important the ride in chop is 100 % better. Old controls did not have to be replaced.

    repower surprise

    Recently repowered from an old 200 Johnson to a 150 Yami 4 stroke on my 89 20 ft WA. Always had a rough ride, blamed it on the old hull. I am blown away with how this rides now. I guess I was overpowered or whatever. Granted it's no deep V. Was not expecting this at all. A pleasant surprise to...
