Your boss is a smart guy, he knows you have and will work as hard for him. Great story and best of luck on your new boat!

good point less that 1 hour over 5000 rpms. I dont push the boat that hard at all and only can open it up in the bay.

night and day difference, great upgrade!

Hi guys, just got my motor service at 174 hours. I asked they print out the engine data and was surprised at the RPM numbers. No data in 5,000 to 6,000 rpm range. I don't run the boat hard, but I think I may be over propped? I will take it out in the next few weeks and push it to the...

all I can say is WOW!!! Beautiful outcome, enjoy the season!

I actually had screens built in on the scuppers drains I used, I ended up removing them with a dremel. It really slows the flow of water out of the boat. Agree with others above, just blast the hose thru them before / after each run.

in my 208, I believe I used wire reinforced 1 1/2 inch hose. I sourced these at a local marina, they cut to size. Try soapy water to slide onto the barb. I know... the clamps should be opposing...

I also came out of a 17 whaler and now have a 1999 Adv 2080 and love it. Easy to handle and economical. Gets me out, fishes comfortably and gets me back. That said, I would love a 228 with a closed transom for all the reasons mentioned.

Glad you figured the issue out! In case you need to replace, I went with Blue Sea Systems - 7182 187 Series, 285 Series & Klixon Circuit Breakers, 40A. I replaced as a precaution, after 23 years of service I thought it was time.

Thank you!

Hi D-fox. just curious, where in CA are you located and who did the work? I am in SoCal and always looking for good shops in the area. Thanks

+1 on SkunkBoat. I use a "Reliable" brand insulated Fish bag.

I also keep one of those battery jump starters on the boat. Just in case I drain both batteries.

looks great! Cant wait to see the continued progress!

Hi guys, sharing a weekend project with you. Updated the look of my 1999 GW Adventure. Replaced the old faux wood panels and side trim with acrylic. Used 1/4 inch black acrylic as material. Im happy with end results. Boat looks a few years younger.

Great story and glad you made the right decisions given the situation. Beautiful pictures! I love the way you set up your boat.

Also in San Diego. Hit me up when you arrive, let's all hit the tuna grounds when they show up! Haha - just noticed this thread was 7 years old!

Mark - where are you located? Do you have trim tabs?

Hi Mark -, same boat, same motor. Picture of my stainless prop attached, honestly don't know how to read it. I reached out to Ken at Prop Gods a while and shared my stats and he said he would stay with what I have. I have hit 37.5 mph - but that is with a pretty heavy load -2 to 3 adults, 32...

Great looking boat Sir! Now I wish I had 22 foot Grady!
