I have R+R'ed the poppet valve 2x on my yamaha 1997 S150TXRV (2 stroke) no biggie at all. 2- 10mm bolts. Service manual has a different parts diagram than the new parts that you will receive. with the new parts the mushroom cap end goes in towards the engine and the spring goes on the cross...

I have a 1989 G/W 204 overnighter originally rigged (before I got it) with a Johnson 140- V/4.......... I bought it repowered with a Yamaha 150 V/6. Before looking at your pictures, I have only seen one other 204 rigged with twins. It was a mid/late 1980’s G/W 204 in Texas with twin...

hi I have removed the main instrument panel a few times on my 1989 G/W 204, For comparison, I think the depth of the Yamaha round gauges are more than 2.6" (that commonly go in that space ) Behind the instrument panel is some of the wiring of course, but below is a fiberglass panel that I...

I tow my Grady 204 with a 5.7 Tundra now, but I have used my dads 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 v8. (TQ: 305 ft-lbs. @ 3600 rpm Hp 235 hp) for a shorter tow to the ramp and it did well. I think a 2011Jeep Grand Cherokee with the V6 and Tow Package will be fine. Does your 208 have a hard top...

I mounted my 15HP Longshaft 2 stroke kicker motor (79 lbs) using a Garelick 71090 mounting bracket (rated for 169 lbs) on the starboard side of my G/W 204. I spaced it away from the transom with a 2" thick piece of white UHMW so the handle of the motor bracket would not hit the rub rail...

the tongue weight on my 204 Overnighter on a double axle trailer is 270 lbs with zero fuel. I guess that is just a bit over 5% of the total estimated 5000lb combined trailer/boat/motor/batteries/light gear weight. It tows great and I think the 5% tongue weight makes it a little easier on the...

I went though similar thought process. I looked at the Brutis/Ace line hauler system------thought it sat too low on the gunnel to swing a pot onto the deck. I was unsure of the strength of the Scotty/downrigger mounting system (it did not look strong enough to me), and the powder coated...

Hello boat owners Thought I would document the install of a crab davit on a 20’ grady white . West coast means crabbing , we crab out of Astoria Oregon and in front of my sister’s house north of Shilshole marina in Seattle WA. Regional differences exist on how to rig boats, but this is how I...

for backing I bought some black 3/16th inch thick ABS plastic at a local plastics supply place, it has a textured surface on one side and smooth surface on the other. Cut it on a table saw and smooth the edges or use a router bit. They said they sell it all the time for dash boards ect. I...

hi I have a 1989 G.W. 204 Overnighter with a 1997 150 Yamaha SWS2 I figure it to be between 2+ and 3 mpg at cruise. I just got a fuel flow meter and need to connect it up to my GPS. I will have more accurate numbers in about 4 weeks. Nice big fuel tank on these boats. DE

HI All I was trying to match up my bow cleat and order another one ( mine is the one in the center of the pic) Its on a 1989 G/W 20' Overnighter Can anyone identify the mfg, its 8" long and 2" tall and the base is 4- 3/8" x 2 -5/8". if you have one that matches that you want to sell let me...

hi There I am almost certain they need the boat on site in order to fabricate the top, On the other hand I think there are some "semi-custom" tops available online (carver?) that might work. if you want to message me I can give you the canvas guy's number just to check. DE

yep, everything in the pics including a new frame for a total of $1120 for all labor and materials

I brought a pic of my boat to the boat show and shopped hard. The quotes I got were all within about 20% of each other with one $2000 quote. (Really?) I ended up going with a shop I heard about on one of the local fishing forums. All done with a new frame, the top was $900 and the mooring...

I just got my boat back from the canvas shop, He built a new top, sides, front, back drop with a new frame. I also asked him to build a cockpit cover for trailer-ing / mooring / storage. The material is Top Gun fabric (acrylic coated polyester) in Color code : 474 Navy Blue, which I thought...

I like my 1989 204 Overnighter, I bought it about 2 years ago. I have run it in South Sound Washington State, the Columbia River in some nasty wind driven waves, the mouth of the Columbia River at Astoria ,Lake Pendorille Idaho (2000' above sea level ) and in the Sea of Cortez Mexico in the...

hi There I bought an 1989 G/W 204 Overnighter just about 2 years ago in Baltimore MD I had my boat surveyed (hull survey and V6 yamaha engine compression test). The guy did a great job, well worth the money. I learned a lot and after I paid for the survey I was able to negotiate with the...

Boat US website, very easy to order.

floor drain I did mine in march, It can be done without any cutting of the hull/decks. I have the same year and model boat as you. I did my port side fishbox/through hull/ floor drain all at the same time. It might be easier to replace the port floor drain and the port side through hull...
