    New Man On The Block

    The 208 is an excellent choice for the uses you described and should fit nicely in your slip. If you can find a good used model I would go that route, IMO the price on a new one is ridiculous. If money is no object, go new and time it when Yamaha is offering a free extended warrenty on outboards...

    208 with Yamaha F150 Outboard.. low power

    I have a 04 208 with an F150 and it does fine. I won't win any races but it easily hits the upper 30's (mph) with 2-3 people. I've been told the prop horsepower rating for that motor is actually closer to 165 hp.

    Just got a 2003 GW208....

    Check the snaps on your jump-seat cushions from time to time or you will lose them. Check the screws in the top-center of your windshield for tightness. If one of them comes loose your winshield will seperate and it's not easy to get back together. Ater this happened to me I put 3m 4002 adhesive...

    Leaking Windshield 2006 208

    While you are looking in that area make sure the screws that hold the metal frame together are tight. One of the two screws in the top-center of the windshield on my boat fell out and the frame (Port) became seperated from the glass. I had a time getting it back in place w/weatherstripping and...

    Thinking about a upgrade to a Grady..Thoughts, Opinions??

    Re: Thinking about a upgrade to a Grady..Thoughts, Opinions? If you can afford a Gulfstream, pull the trigger, I think you'd love it. Someone else can chime in with a little more thoughful response but I know if I could afford one I would.

    208 Boat Covers

    I have one, fits great. I thing they offered three models and I went for the middle one. It's lightweight and seems to be pretty durable. Mine is ~ 2yrs old and holding up just fine.

    Hey Jeff, welcome. I have a 208 so basically the same boat as you. After having numerous problems with Lowrance products I switched to Garmin about 4-5 yrs ago and haven't had a moments trouble. I have a 498 which is no longer made but they offer several models that are similar. Your budget has...
