    Adventure 208 Rear Seat Back Removal? (Pic)

    Thanks for the info, actually did it both ways, thru the grommet, and cut the bottom open.While redoing I am going to put a bolt through the plastic backing to thru bolt it with one bolt to keep it in place like on my previous boat. Makes it much easier to remove.

    Thanks for all the replies. I actually found a great deal on a low-hour 2003 OX 66 200 hp locally. Took it out the other day, just myself, dead flat calm, and got 39 mph @5100 rpm. Propeller came with the motor, a bit beat up, was a 14 1/2 x 17. Does this sound about right? I don't really...

    '97 208 Kicker Bracket Cylinder Gone Bad

    208 Adventure Deck Hatch Gas Storage-Why Not?

    H All- I recently purchased a '97 208 Adventure and want to add a kicker motor (already have the bracket on the port transom). I can buy a 2 stroke 8 hp long shaft Tohatsu for a fair price.
