Just pinging this group, anyone been fishing? I've made 3 trips on my boat this year, 1 rockfish and 2 tuna. Only bonita and rockfish to show for my efforts, no bluefin yet. I hope to get out this weekend, considering fishing below the border.

Agree, these hoses can be a bear to remove. I ended up using a dremel to cut thru them.

Best of luck on your new boat!

I used black acrylic on adventure 208. DIY project.

Not saying I would not love a 228, but I fished pretty hard in 17 whaler, tuna, mahi and lots more. A lot to be said on the simplicity of smaller skiff to. But yeah, a 228 would be awesome. I agree, a new 218 is a pretty spendy boat. At that price, I'd be looking at other options.

congrats on your new boat, enjoy!

Hey Trapper - can you post some pics when you have a chance, I'd love to see some of those upgrades. Which autopilot did you go with?

I have the same issue. As suggested, I use the battery box cover. I had to cut one cover down to make it fit, it works and I feel a little better about.

Thanks all! Appreciate the input.

Skunk, Hookup - I agree with you guys. I cant explain it well w/o the boat close by. Thanks again!

Apologies if I was not clear, I have an ACR, I believe my batteries are wired in parallel, I have 1/2/both selector switch and currently have 2 dual purpose batteries. In my situation, I select 1 battery for the day, the ACR will charge both regardless. Based on the comments, I think I will...

Hi all, I have a Yami 150 4 stroke, with 2 dual group 27 batteries and I also have a ACR. Unfortunately, no wiring diagram but they are wired in parallel. My gauges say the yamaha charges at 14.6. I run my bait tank and vhf all the time and run the motor 90% of the time while on the water.

A recent post by POP got me thinking. I have a Adventure 208, single motor, 2 battery set up. Both of my batteries are Dual Cycle. I run a bait tank, VHF, lights, and at times plug in a Road King oven to heat up food. (and obviously a bilge when needed) What is preferred for this size boat...

congrats and enjoy your new boat!

making great progress! keep us posted.

Ha - it all starts with a simple question! I would love to step up to a 228 as well.

WOW - awesome addition!

I struggled to get mine out, and the ones I destroyed, I replaced with a nut in the back. I was able to reach into the back from the "glovebox" underneath. Adventure 208 model.

Ha - I did not make that bag! I wish I could. Purchased on line.

Hi Dennis - I just got a new impeller installed. The old one was a little burnt, that is what led me to just get this bag. Motor and I are happier.
