very thoughtful and useful upgrades! I really like these threads as we can all benefit from them. Thank you!

Wow - if you think it, you can build it. Very impressive skills!

I'm out of Oside, but I think I may head south to Mexican waters. I'll keep an eye on reports and make a game day decision. I'll try to update this thread. My boat name is Pau Hana and I am usually on 68 or 72.

Congrats on great boat. I love my 208! It is a small BIG boat for sure.

Your boat looks awesome! Best of luck with it!

Well, it was a bust for us. We caught one bonita. We found the fish out by the 230 area, we trolled and long soaked , we just could not get them to go. They are not as active as last few years, a few single jumpers here and there but not the foamers we have seen in past years. A friend of...

Nice work, I would not go offshore without 2 bilge pumps myself.

yep - that's the current plan. Weather looks decent on Saturday. Action is not consistent and this year is very different than the last few years.

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.
