Yeah Skunk, that's why the kid is flying the drone......next time!

Some fun videos that my son took trying out his drone, still trying to get it dialed in and figured out. 3 generations of us fishing on this day! Everyone's favorite spot is the bean bag on the bow! Boat is a 2000 GW Adventure 208, with F150. Fishing off the So Cal coast...

I'm also replacing all the round Beckson pry up hatches with the spin off hatches.

Depends on budget and what you use it for, but for me - Auto Pilot. If it was in my budget, I would love to add a hardtop to mine. (I have an Adventure 208).

Cool, my in laws live in Hawaii Kai. Always wondered how a 208 would perform there.

Great Mod! I may have to look into that. I also have a standing platform on my 208, my vision is right at the top of the window when underway. I am also trying out a foam standing mat on my platform - so far so good on 3 months of use. What Island are you on and how does that 208 perform on...

I re-powered a 208 with a Yamaha f150. I fish the boat typically with 3 guys and a full 32 gallon bait tank. I typically cruise in a 2 foot swell at around 23-27 mph with out much effort, at about 4000-4200 rpm. My typical day is 3 hours at 4000 rpm and 8 hours at a troll speed, I get...

Great Find! Good luck with install!

WOW - good on you Sir! I am still procrastinating on this job...

I will definitely share a beer with you on accomplishing this! Good luck, I plan this later in December and will let you know how it goes.

I'm not familiar with the 226, but can you access under the pedalstal seats, where the tackle locker is?

Bummer on the access panel. I have a teenager I will have help me out, hopefully, I don't have to go that route. I'm waiting on the spin on Beckson hatches before I start.

Interested in how challengin this is. I have a 1999 208 I need to do this on and I am dreading it....

Thanks Paul, knowing you got it done gives me confidence! Yeah, there is a ton of foam for sure!

Thanks Glacier! Luckily, I have the 1999 model with Brass thru hulls, so I only have to replace the hoses.

Thanks for the detail Paul! Appreciate it! I have not yet removed the storage boxes under the seat, was there framing there that prevented you access to the deck scupper hose? I will remove all the round hatches, and replace with the Spin On Beckson round hatches as well. If anyone else...

I have a 1999 Adventure 208 and plan on replacing all the thru hull hoses and bait tank hoses. I am dreading taking these apart and putting back due to lack of access. Anyone have any tips on getting access to these hard to reach hoses? Anyone do this recently? Tools, tips.... anything...

Crazy thing when I sold my BW Montauk. I live in San Diego and a guy flew in from Hawaii, saw my whaler, bought it cash and had it shipped to Oahu! I do miss it and know that I will get another one at some point.....

I have had 3 Whalers, 2 17 footers and 1 22 footer. Sold my Montauk last year to buy a Grady 208. I miss the simplicity of the 17 ft skiff , but am enjoying the space and comfort of the Adventure 208.

Great to hear and good luck fishing!
