    Prop question

    208 with an F200. Currently running a 17 X 14 1/4. Can only get 5300 or 5400 rpm max. What prop would get me to the recommended 5800-6000 range and what would be given up?

    An interesting problem to think about....

    95 208, recently Repowered with an F200. When running along, when you grab the wheel ( stainless stock Grady) and your hands are wet and you have a cut somewhere on that hand, you get an electrical zap...a good one, not just a tingle. Dry hands, cut or no cut, no problem . No electrical...

    208 wood grain cockpit trim

    Looks like crap! Faded, washed out trim pieces around the whole thing. What are people replacing it with? Can you sand it to a new surface that would look OK if protected? This stuff is really below Grady standards. I was thinking teak would be a great improvement, but not picky.....starboard...

    Prop question

    Just bought a 1995 adventure 20 (208 SeaV2 hull). Has a 175 Yamaha 2 stroke that runs great. Seems to be abit slow out of the hole, requires more rpm to get up to speed ( had a 20 Overniter with the same engine and prop that seemed to perform abit better...I know the 95 is a heavier boat )...

Anyone done this repower?.....How is it working for you?....Which...
