Looks good, nicely done!

Welcome to the Site! I'm boating out of Rye and am very familiar with those islands and the Byrum River. Great fishing area!

I'm going to try to give it another week or two if the weather continues to hold. Black fishing is just starting here and I hate to quit on that

Good tip! Will do, thanks!

Thanks. It's probably a good idea and would make wiping everything down in the Cabin easier. I guess I can bag them and leave them up in the attic until spring. The notices went up yesterday at my Marina - ALL BOATS MUST BE OUT BY 10/31. I guess it's really THAT time of year again... :cry:

Does anyone remove the cushions before shrink wrapping the boat for winter? :hmm

Looks like a neat little boat, have fun!

:welcome

It's probably the sensor, you'll find it under the circular access hatch in the middle of the cockpit floor. If you have the GPH meter as well on the dash, the total used on that is usually pretty exact.

Maybe check the rubber o rings on the access hatches ( in the motor well and cockpit floor). With a heavier load you might be getting some motor wash flooding that well and leaking into the bilge back there through the o rings. Anything coming through the scuppers should wash out the same way...

I've got the same F200 4 stroke on my '15 208. It doesn't have the same punch out of the hole as the old 150 2 stroke that was on my '96, but it's better on the top end and way better on fuel. I smoothly accelerate, continually advancing the throttle until I'm on plane. Usually 3 or 4 seconds...

Congrats on the new boat! Where are you in CT?

I've taken my 208 out to the mud hole which is about 20 off of sandy hook. Just make sure you have the right weather and sea conditions and you'll be ok. I wouldn't do it every day as these are smallish boats for going offshore but I go out every now and then. Honestly for me running hells gate...

I'd think the best choice would be selling it or trading it in on a 25". If that's not possible I'd look into the extension kit.

Welcome and congrats on the 208! My '96 Adventure had a Yamaha 150 2 Stroke and was trouble free for the 19 years I had that boat. When I picked up my 2015 208 last summer I got the F200 four stroke and it's been a really great engine for the Adventure with much better fuel efficiency than my...

Good news, here's hoping you enjoy obstruction free boating from now on! There's a lot of "stuff" floating around the Sound right now, I've really had to keep my eyes open!

That's a great idea, I've never seen it before

That's as good a reply as you're going to get! Excellent reply really.

My '96 208 came with the Yamaha 150 HP 2 Stroke and it was ok for power unless I was really loaded. That was pretty much the standard engine at that time. I usually fish alone or with one other guy but the days I'd load up with 3 or 4 guys it had to push to get out of the water and I'd help it...

It sounds to me like the info you've received from Grady White and the Dealer you spoke to should be steering you away from this one.
