Hi Paul - while you have the motor off you may want to look at and potentially address the infamous 'bang plate" or transom seam on your boat. Lots of threads on this site on how folks have addressed it. I would also look at all thru hulls, hoses, fuel lines and the pry off hatches - replace...

I have the same set up as OnoEric, running it multiple years, 8-10 hours at a time. I have a T off the raw water, so I can use the washdown when needed. My pump is in pic. What bait are using?

Halfhitch -those are great for trailering as well, one of the best purchases made.

Your ready to go fishing now! Good off season list to get thru!

looks sharp!

I have an Adventure 208.

Glad I found this thread! Great info here! Thanks to all!

Check all your deck plates, I replaced mine with spin offs - lots of folk seem to be doing the same here. Also, I was getting water thru the rear thru hull inside the boat, I needed to rebed the fitting.

Looks great! Any luck with that bunker spoon? I miss fishing for those striped bass!

Congrats!! A great boat and you will be happy! When you get a chance, Can you post your performance #'s with hardtop and a few guys on board. I'm interested in seeing the numbers, top speed and mpg, I am considering a radar arch or top of some type but am on the fence.. Thanks!

Agree with the performance comments on the F150 w/o a hardtop. My boat planes at 20 and tops out at 35. I consistently get 3 mpg with 2 adults, 80 lbs ice and 38 gallon bait tank.

When I repowered a 2 years ago, the Suzuki in SoCal was more expensive. I went with Yamaha F150.

Man, every time I read one of these transom posts I get stressed out! I did mine in stainless and LOVE the look!

D - that looks great!

JK - you may want to consider adding a second bilge pump a little higher. I added another one in mine for a piece of mind, also another separate outflow. I had a thread on here somewhere about it if you want to read up on it .

Game changer!

84- you will need more than a flat piece of starboard, the stern save, comes with 4 holes in the back and center tack to mount to the transom. Not positive, but the center tak was set with 3m tak and the were filled with their epoxy and attached. Try looking up the install videos on youtube...

Pictures of my location, not the best angle, but hopefully helpful. The original transducer was mounted further outboard on my boat, I moved it inboard and it works great. Not sure how a sterndrive would impact location.

Great boat! I have 1999 Adventure. Low hour motor!! Look inside the rear bilge area and see how clean the owner kept it, the transom cap should be looked at carefully - lots of threads on this board on what to look for on the cap., water finds its way into the transom. Take it out for a...

yep, I think I have the GT51 - about 12 inches long and a lot heavier than my previous one.
