Hey guys I am considering switching my passenger pompanette chair to the L-Shaped bench seen on some Marlins. Anyone done this? If so where do I buy and how much is it going to set me back?

I put over 200 hours on my old 208 with this motor. It is the perfect match. I had a 2 stroke yam 150 before. Top speed with hardtop and enclosures was 43 and cruise at 32-33 yielded just under 4 mpg. I never had a single issue. I just sold it to another GG member who took it over to the West...

Thanks for all the kind words gents. She is beautiful. In almost Bristol condition. I am so excited I cant sleep!

Big difference between Overnighter and new Seafarer. If it was a SEAV2 Adventure I would tell you to stay put. A 228 Seafarer would make you very happy.

Thanks TUNAHUNTER. Spoke to Mark and he will be moving the boat for me in early May. Thanks for the referral!!! Heres a picture of the new to me girl.

That would be nice. However it would be 400+ miles which on this boat equals to 400+- gallons of fuel and 8 gallons of oil. That would get real expensive real quick!

Hey guys, I am the proud new owner of a 300 Marlin. It is up in North Florida and I am in South Florida. Do any of you have any shipper recommendations or know of any trailer rental places down here in South Florida? It does not have a trailer.

Hello gents, I am considering a 300 Marlin with 250 OX66's. Boat usage will be relatively limited in next 1-2 years so I know I will be logging less hours than my usual 150 per year. I plan on either repowering with 4strokes in 2 years after purchase. I am however scared of the fuel burn with...

I had custom made starboard and after 1 year in Miami sun it still looks amazing.

Ask me any questions you want. Over 200 hours already on the I4. No issues whatsoever. Great engine

Great choice. I have the new 200 on my boat and it has been awesome so far 115 hours. Buy at least an 8000lb trailer. Depending on cost the digital cntrols are nice. I have manual and I prefer it due to reliability but the digitals are pretty cool. I wouldnt spend 3-4k extra though if thats what...

Etec is definitely cheaper. I however prefer Yamaha due to having excellent luck with them my whole life. The motor i replaced was a 20 year old Yamaha. I had owned it for 3 years using it 3 times a week, and i didnt spend a single dollar on repairs. I sold it for a good amount of money with...

By buddy is running the same boat I have minus the hardtop and he is running a 200 ox66 and I am running the new I4 200. We run the exact same speed and have the same holeshot, and I have bottom paint and hardtop. The new 200 is a very strong motor. You will not be dissapointed. Oh and your fuel...

90 hrs so far on my inline 4 200 Yamaha and I love it. I just got back from Bimini Bahamas last Monday. Ran the boat over 210 miles loaded to the gills and only burned 71 gallons of fuel the entire trip. Didnt even get gas while I was over there. here is my repower thread on THT...

I think that will be too heavy. Especially considering the fact that it is on a bracket. I just repowered my 1993 208 with the new Yamaha F200XB inline 4 and that is the perfect motor. It weighhs over 120lb less than that 225. I actually may be upgrading my boat soon as I plan on making more...

Yes it is accurate. I burn about 1.2-1.3 GPH at 1600 RPM Trolling Speed. Just to give you an idea I just went over to Bimini, Bahamas this past weekend with alot of people and ALOT of gear and averaged 3.11 MPG. I ran over 210 miles and burned 70.2 gallons of fuel. My numbers are consistent with...

I have a pro series 700 and it is way more than enough for my 208. I hav only seen 1000's on 33' and up.

9-10 grand. You will pay approx 16k rigged for 200 Inline. I say that assuming you will use your same rigging. 14.5k for motor plus taxes and mounting. I can tell you that my inline 200 is the absolute perfect weight but I majorly upgraded motors. Dont know If I would do that if I had a...

Mechanical Controls. The electronic doesnt come out until May and I also wanted mechanical. I trust them more dont know why
