    Overnighter and Adventure ?

    The Adventure replaced the Overnighter in 1993. They made the Hatteras Overnighter since 1975. It is essentially the same boat just upgraded through the years. Go to www.gradyowner.com and look for the history link. Lots of good info. John

    Need Someone in Tom's River New Jersey.

    Hello all, I need someone in Tom's River NJ to go look at a 20' Adventure for me. You don't have to do a super inspection, just want to know if it's worth a 3.5 hour drive to go look at and possibly purchase. Thanks, John

    Hard Top Cost

    As some of you may or may not know, I have been looking at 20' Adventure's for sale. I found a couple locally and some have hard tops and some don't. I like the look of the hard tops, and was wondering what it would cost to put one on? Rough prices are fine, just getting info. Thanks, John

    Anybody near Jersey City?

    Where does on one draw the line on a used boat? I see alot of people here own older 208's. Where they in great shape when you bought them or did you whip them into ship/shape? I don't mind doing electrical work and minor repairs, would the fuel tanks and the transom be the biggest and most $$...

    Anybody near Jersey City?

    Thanks for the replies. I too suspected something, but I was looking at the price. He's asking 12k, Can't find a 95 out there even close to that. I know it would need some tlc but that's reflected in the price. I might go down next week and take a look at it. I think this is a boat yard in...

    208 Adventure Differrences

    I have been looking at 20' WA for awhile now and keep getting drawn back to the Grady. I went to the NY boat show and was dissappointed the only boat seem to be missing was the 208!

    New 208 for me?? Maybe

    Well I'm going to the boat show in NYC in Dec-Jan, after that I am going to make a decision. I always wanted a walkaround, and then I had seen a small pilot house (C-Dory). Not a bad looking boat, not cheap either! There's a new 2006 Key West WA for $26k in my local boat yard, but it's not a...

    New 208 for me?? Maybe

    She's a 2000. I would have never gotten a boat surveyed if it was not for this site and the Hull Truth. I am new to this game, is it worth getting a survey on a 2000? thanks.
