    yamaha F225 on overnighter..too much??

    In 2008 when I re-powered my 1990 Overnighter 204C the local (CT) Grady/Yamaha Dealer recommended the Yamaha 150hp four stroke or the HPDI 200hp for the 204C transom. I am not familiar with how the reinforced transom and bracket effect that. Agree with Doc S., to my untrained eye the boat...

    Fuse Block 204c

    I also replaced the fuse block panel (blusesea) on my 1990 overnighter with the push-in fuses when I added a fish-finder and GPS; it works fine. I would like to replace the switch panel but cannot find a simple/economical replacement. My switch panel has the wood panel too, with 7 toggle...

    Watersports - Tubing help

    I have one like the one you posted (mine is 12') but wish I got the nylon version that floats. Steel cable one tends to sag and get close to prop when there is slack, when kids are climbing on/off tube.

    204 Overniter repower

    I have a 1990 Overnighter and am happy with my Suzuki DF175 (4th full season). Can go ~35mph (2 people; gear and 40 gals of gas). Engine weight is 481 lbs, my scuppers sit halfway in the water at the dock.

    Naked AND Skinny

    As far as the engine type goes I will second the positive experience with the Suzuki DF175. I have been very pleased with my DF175 (single on my 1990 Overnighter). It was installed in 2008 in the CT area & my dealer is one town away. Good luck with your re-power.

    Water Ski Tow Rope Attachment 208 Adventure

    Yes, I attach the tow harness to the eyes on transom. Yes, I have a swim platform on the starboard side. I have not had the tow harness interfere while towing a skier or tuber. When the tow rope is slack the harness will rest across the inside rail of the swim platform but when a skier or...

    I have a 1990 Overnighter and a 2009 Suzuki 175 DF 4 stroke. This is my 4th season and the engine has been great (knock on wood). Would be happy to speak with you if needed.

    Water Ski Tow Rope Attachment 208 Adventure

    I have a 204C Overnighter and am assuming the 208 Adventure has a similar beam. When my last harness broke while on vacation the local store by me only had 8 foot or 12 foot harnesses. I found that the 8' was too short and the 12' too long. I bought the 12' Airhead® Tow Demon Ski Tow Harness...

    Finally getting my GW- comments welcome

    I have the same boat (1990 204-C Overnighter) but with a Suzuki ob. It is my 3rd full season with it and I really enjoy it. It is not the SeaV2 hull but rides great. The survey will probably include these but some major items to check would be the condition of the transom; stern scuppers -...

    HELLO GW LOVERS - a possible new owner has a question.

    I had a 17" Boston Whaler as my 1st boat and now have the GW Overnighter. The whaler was a great boat but with the cabin and larger size of the 208 you cannot go wrong. What engine/yr is it?

    Repowering a 1988 Overnighter 20

    repower overnighter I have a Suzuki 4-stroke DF 175 on a 1990 Overnighter. Good power, weight is 485 lbs. With a full tank of gas my scuppers sit about 1/2 way submerged. If I stand in either corner of the stern a tiny bit of water will come in.
