    Before or After ???

    Mine is after separator. In the splash well. Don't think it really matters. But if its after separator less chances of stuff getting into the bulb. Crud, water, phase separation, hum bug, etc.... and if its in splash well easier to get to it. Where is it located currently in the boat? and where...

    4blade

    For what's its worth. I've got a 208 with a f150. I tried a 4 blade prop 2 pitches lower than I had. Did not like it. Lost 6 mph and lost 5,000 rpms on the top end. I did get on plane quicker but not enough for me to justify. Stayed on plane at slightly lower rpms but not a big difference from...

    1995 GW 208 Adventure

    I have a 2006 208 with a F150. About 100 pounds lighter. I do not have an issue with water. Even with two 200 pound guys fishing off stern with all there gear. It will take some time to drain out of the corners if I clean the deck with water but nothing out of the ordinary. I also have the...

    208 adventure performance data/repower experience from 200 hp up to the maximum (230 – 250).

    When or if I repower. I believe I would go for the 250. I dont think there is much if any weight difference between the 225 and 250. And around 100 pounds difference between the 200 and 250. Cost difference is roughly 4k from 200 to 250. If that is a factor. I also recall a thread on here...

    208 adventure performance data/repower experience from 200 hp up to the maximum (230 – 250).

    Following. We have the same boat. How many hours on the f150? I believe 230 is the max hp for our 2006 model 208. So the choice is most likely between a 4 cylinder 200 hp and a 225 hp 6 cylinder?

    208 with F150 Prop?

    Locatiin is on the Chesapeake Bay. Yes I have trim tabs. Seasick.... Current prop is 13.75 diameter 17 pitch. I am happy with current prop. Looking for a slightly higher wot rpm. To avoid lugging the motor. I tried a 4 blade but could only get 5100 rpms and at low rpms it vibrated terribly. I am...

    208 with F150 Prop?

    Thanks for reply. You have a 15 pitch prop. I believe the same prop as mine but I have a 17 pitch prop. It appears a 15 pitch may be a little better for me.

    208 with F150 Prop?

    I've got a 2006 Grady 208 with a F150. I have the yamaha stock 17m prop. It is a 13 3/4 diameter and 17 pitch prop. Current WOT is 5500 rpm and 36mph. I'm thinking of trying a new prop. Perhaps a 15 pitch. Curious what everyone else is using? From my research I believe WOT rpm closer to 6,000...

I would be trailering from my house to ramp at max 55 mph. boat ramp is about 10 minutes away. I don't see it being an issue. If I'm on the water I'm running 35 mph with it up. Just...

    Somebody ran into my boat over the weekend. I have some gelcoat and possibly fiberglass repairs needed. Does anyone recommend anybody from Annapolis to Solomons that can handle this?
