Call/email Ken at PropGods. He can give you some alternatives. Mercury Enertia? 14.7x16? Expensive.

Maybe a checklist on your phone, use it

Definitely want tabs, I have a 2021 208. Not sure the size, I will measure this weekend but they are as installed by Grady. Most of my running attitude adjustment is via motor trim but I have had times where I have a lot of motor trim in (bow down) and still need a bit more bite especially if...

Not sure how much fading you have but I have used this (recommended by Grady dealer) https://spectrumcolor.com/collections/patch-paste-kit

Don’t know where you are located but there is a 2006 232 at Comstock in Brick NJ. Twin 150’s @ 750 hours. Comstock is a GW dealer and the listed price is $49k, who knows what the actual sales price will be. Looks in nice condition and well outfitted as a comp to the rig you are considering...

I see a lot of big CC and DC boats in NJ and most of those are not going out to the canyons. Venture to guess that many never go much farther than a couple of miles out - or never leave Barnegat Bay. Saw a husband and wife pull up to my favorite lunch place in Barnegat in a big Grady CC, not a...

Well my 208 will be a tender for that. punching several, no many, levels above my financial weight class. I am perfectly happy to fill an 80 gallon fuel tank and run 3.5+ mpg cruise. Wouldn’t mind having that for just a day though.

That’s a nice looking boat as well, I always like the way the 225 looks! I ended up buying a 208 with hardtop as I like the WA functionality but no denying the comfortable seating options in a small DC.

Two nice looking boats, one is a 215 which has a slightly wider beam and more usable space, with a 200hp engine.

In the event of a fire I want to be able to turn everything off (except a hard-wired bilge pump).

Ken @ prop gods gave me good recommendations for my hardtop F200 208. If you call or email Ken, the more information you have about how YOUR boat is performing such as min. planing speed and rpm, best cruise/rpm/fuel consumption, max speed/rpm/mpg with light and heavy load, motor height, any...

Figured that, would love that capability when I am fishing by myself.

Got to disagree, that is the boat set up where EX joystick control might be most useful. Every driver should be able to dock the boat in all conditions without a joystick, for sure. But if it makes it easier I have no problem with that. Other features including set point and controlled drifts...

Looking forward to working on pulling together a meet next summer. I am centrally located in Waretown (5 miles across the bay from Barnegat Light) so am lucky, would be happy to go up to Brick or down to AC. My 208 is pretty light on amenities but I have the basics covered! We should follow...

A couple of thoughts. Auto trim tabs might help, provided you establish settings after proper motor trim. Second thought is prop selection and motor height. Since I don’t have an Islander I can’t comment on the right combination but @Hookup1 or other drivers of this hull might have combos to...

Sucks gas but goes fast

Pictures? We Like Pictures. Always cool to see a vintage boat.

I am shrink-wrapped this year but agree it is a huge amount of waste and recurring cost.

Thanks for all the cool reports this year!
