I just wanted to thank everyone that contributes to the forum. I just got around to replacing my fuel lines. Boy did they need it. I researched the forum for any tips I could find. The job went smoothly because I knew what to expect each step of the way and the little tricks I learned worked...

I'm replacing my fuel lines. I searched through the forum and read all the posts. Great info! I looked at how my fill and vent lines are run. They exit the fuel tank coffin through the stringer/bulkhead on the port side then run to the stern. I'm wondering if they routed it this way so it would...

I was checking out an old Offshore the other day. When I banged on the side of the hull midships, between the gunwale rod holders, it flexed and wobbled more than I expected. As I went forward or back it diminished. What is the structure that gives rigidity to the hull in that section? The deck...

I'd like to add a couple gunwale mount rod holders and outriggers. I want to use backing plates but there's no access to the underside of the gunwales. Has anyone done these installs on an overnighter? There are two small inspection plates but they aren't big enough or close enough to reach my...

Has anyone re-powered their overnighter with the merc 150 4 stroke? If so what kind of performance numbers did you get? I'm going to be facing the re-power decision sooner or later. I'm still running the original 87 150 yamaha :)

My engine is only making 4800 RPM's and having a tough time getting up on plane w/ a crew on board. I think I'm over proped. When I test drove the boat last year the prop spun the hub. The owner replaced the prop and gave me the one w/ the spun hub. The prop on the engine is 15X17. The spun hub...

I removed the deck panel over the gas tank to clean and re-seal it. I noticed that the lip of the deck between the helm seats flexed a little. The screws that go through the lip and into the wood support on the fuel tank are not fixed to the lip. The others appear to be. I'm not sure how the...

I noticed that the Adventure doesn't have the bracket option. Does anyone know the reasoning? Is there inherent performance issues w/ the overnighter w/ the bracket? Or, is it an incompatibility w/ the SV2 hull?

I have a 206G that will need a repower someday in the not so distant future. I'm wondering if a 20" shaft will work on the factory bracket. Has anyone tried or have an opinion? Thanks, Sal

I'm going to replace my thru hull fittings this spring. I noticed a bit of water is leaking into the boat and suspect they're the cause. I've read that stainless is the way to go. My 1987 overnighter's plastic thru hulls lasted 23 years. Is it worth the extra money to go stainless? Is the issue...

I've been researching options for repowering my 206G. It has the original '87 150 yamaha on it. It's still running but I realize someday in the near future I'll have to repower. Putting big bucks into "this old boat" for a new high tech outboard is a tricky proposition. Buy a used engine...

I've been researching fuel tank replacements. I understand that the adventure fuel tanks were switched to poly tanks. Does anyone know if they would fit an overnighter? Are they available for purchase? I looked a little on the web for poly belly tanks and the ones I found were 50 gal or...

I'm going to look at a 1987 206G with the original 150 hp yamaha on it. I searched through the forums looking for problems to watch out for. I didn't find much on this particular model. Can anyone help w/ a little guidance? Thanks!
