    208 Ride

    Can't say I see much difference between my former '89 Overnighter and my new used 2000 20 8 in calmer waters. Hope to see a difference in some chop or I wasted a load of money. Have trimtabs on both. Opinions? Thanks

    208 storage and seats

    Disappointed with my 2000 208's storage space at the stern. There is none. My '89's was great. Any suggestions? Very little room between pilot seats also. Anyone ever change them? Thanks

    Stability of old hulls

    Have an 89 overnighter. Trimtabs help but ride is bumpy in the Delaware Bay chop. Would I sacrifice the stability it has when drifting which is great if I upgraded to a SV2 hull on a 20 footer. I really don't want to be rocking around when fishing. I have a ridiculous amount of money in this...

    trim tabs

    Appreciate any comments on whether trim tabs may help smooth out the rough ride on my 89 overnighter 20 footer . Fish the Delaware bay with a quick chop . Would like to be able to handle 2-3 footers better , not looking for a miracle . Thanks

    repower surprise

    Recently repowered from an old 200 Johnson to a 150 Yami 4 stroke on my 89 20 ft WA. Always had a rough ride, blamed it on the old hull. I am blown away with how this rides now. I guess I was overpowered or whatever. Granted it's no deep V. Was not expecting this at all. A pleasant surprise to...
