I’ve seen it a lot of times when bad weather is around so are the fish. We see that with the Kingfish migrations. In the greatlakes, the salmons. What do you see over there? Ali’i Kai boats sound like interesting boats. They sound like pretty well made boats with the old stringer system. I...

I believe by Ali Kai boats you referring to rebuids? I like those thoughts. I rebuilt a Montauk 17 from the hull up and had several years of enjoyment on that boat. ive found that I can get a much bigger bang for my buck. I have also found that I could get into a bigger boat such as a 228 with a...

it’s a shorter wave spread compared to the Pacific, more chop. Wave heights and crests change fairly quickly. I’ve fished Cabio’s in San Lucos Mexico. Those waves there were a lot bigger and further spread apart, much deeper bluewater. It looks like a 200 Suzz or Yahmy will do it. I agree with...

I couldn’t agree more. Our boater’s experiences have taught me a lot. Such as engine sizes to hard tops. I’ll be buying my 208 and need to find out what exactly I’ll need. I think I’ve got a pretty good idea of what I’ll need. I’m always open to ideas and greatly enjoy hearing and seeing...

That helps me a lot. I too plan on running out 20-30 miles. According to a friend of mine that has been a charter captain for over 40 yrs, that would be the limit mile wise. His thinking being getting out and back. With challenging weather it will take longer and more gas. Going up and down...

That’s really good info to know. I appreciate the help. The boat of choice is the 208 from new to 8 yrs old. Looks the the 200 Yamaha will do just fine. I found the same thing in my research and you have made it conclusive. Would a 150 under power the boat given the age of the boat I’m looking...

i have researched in detail the SVee2 hull and heard many positives as to its offshore capabilities and deep turning capabilities. I am convinced that this is the way to go for me when purchasing my next boat. I too have had thoughts about a 200 + hp, four stroke for this vessel? Some say that...

yes I am interested in joining. I will have a 208 or do I have to have a Gulfstrea? I live in Nokomis FL.

Those are some Awesome pictures. I am chewing at the bit to buy my 208 after the first. I decided to buy that one. It is more in my price range. I met with the sales rep. yesterday.They are third in the country for Grady sales. It looks like I’m going new. I lot can happen between now and then...

Nice pics SmokyMtnGrady.

Like the Trump flag ideas. Looks like a good time. I’m getting a Grady after the first. Ran around on the family 306 for several years. Enjoyed the hell out it.

wow, it most have gotten pretty hot in storage. Living in Fla, I plan on using it year round. Hopefully that won’t be an issue. I plan on using it throughout the year. I’ll have her on a trailer with a boat cover. Hey, thanks for your help.

Me too. Maybe I’ll catch-up the next time around. If you would, keep me posted if you want to sell.

Lake Erie, I was born and raised on a beach house there. If your looking to upsize, I may have an interest after the first.

Big Sarasota Pass (BIG PASS). That’s right here where I live.

Sweet. The 228 is a highly recommended boat to suit my needs. I’ll be looking to buy after the first. That is a nice looking boat and I am looking for used with that model.

I went i checked the threads on the upper left and couldn’t find the photo threads. I did find media pics but, no pic threads?

got That sounds like a plan. Take care and keep in touch. I’ll be looking for more of your adventures.

Got it. I really thought there would be a big difference. I’m not running a Contender. I want to get there and back given the offshore changes in weather that will occur. Looks like a newer 208 and the possibility of a newer 228 down the road.
