I purchased an older 2000 low hour 208 in 9/25. After a quick refit, fluff and buff and motor service work we are enjoying the boat in SWF. It was has spent 24 years on Green Bay WI. It will be used in the Great Lakes during summer months and SWF in winter months. Low hours use and stored inside since day 1. The 208 Grady was the model of choice. After a lot of research it fit the bill for my use. Easy to tow and still provides a decent ride for a small boat. It is powered by a low hour 225 OX66 that pushes the hull nicely with plenty of power to spare. We have had it out on Green Bay, the inland midwest river system and now Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf. I am impressed with the dry smooth ride. We have not broke it in on big seas but 1' to 2' it handles better than I expected. So far so good for the old girl! I tried to post Pics but file to large?
