I would also make sure your bilge pumps are working before you drop it in for the first time.

When I replaced my motor, I put on a SS transom cap.

Hi - what diameter prop are you guys running? I have an adventure 208 with Yamaha F150 and am currently running a 15 1/4 X 15 Pitch SS prop. I top out at 5300 fully loaded and am looking to get more out of the motor. I may drop down to a smaller diameter prop.

I have GW 208, I purchased my struts from the below vendor (these are for the 2 hatches under the helm seats). Good experience with them. I tend to replace mine ever few years. I also order the 25 lb version. https://www.liftsupportsdepot.com the stats I used - order the stainless steal...

Love it!

just donated! Thanks for a great site!

Hi Scotty, I am not sure of the specifics of my prop, other than it is stainless steel prop.

I have had good luck with Spectrum Gel Coat patch kits. I have used them on the Grady and previous Boston Whalers. As long as there is no damage to fiberglass below, it is a simple fix. Lots of videos on youtube. I found the color match to be pretty good, even on my 25 year old GW.

Grady Crazy - I have '99 208 - same opinion as enfish - a great, very capable 20 footer that feels and rides bigger. Great fuel economy, trailer-able and easy to maintain. I take multiple offshore trips each year and the boat is stable and comfortable.

Thank you both for the feedback!

Hi Dennis - have you seen these towers in person, just curious if there are any opinions from the Grady crowd on quality. Could be a good option.

Nice looking boat!

Beautiful boat, enjoy it!

Get the Bean bag - best seat on the boat! When not in use, it is stored in the cabin. I have an Adventure 208,the bag fits great on the bow, it is comfortable anywhere on the boat.

Great work and progress! Admire your skill set!
