    GW 208 or Parker 2120

    2320 was on my short list. I liked it, wife said it looked like a tugboat. The cabin would be nice for fall fishing. Got to fish one in the Gulf out of John's Pass. Pretty comfortable ride, the gunnels are short for me, hit me at the knee on the coaming pads, I could feel where I was leaning...

    Fish finder/ GPS turns off when starting engine

    I have an old school way of thinking. If the boat is rated for a specific HP, then it should be rigged with a motor that meets that rating. You don't have to use all of that power, but it's there when you need it. Many manufacturers rigged their boats with minimal HP as a price point to get the...

    The hull should be the the same SV2 hull from 1993 to present.

    Mounting a kicker on 228

    Please fully service it!!! Top to bottom. Sitting for years is not a good thing. Things dry out and get brittle. Glad it started for you though,,,,,,

    Been cool to of had a 228 to compare also, especially the side by side pic. 208, 226, 228. Could see the difference a closed transom and bracket makes.

    KY Grady!

    Still out for discussion. Nothing negative that I can say. Laid back, calm (no tidal current), sand bar hang out is what we like. So far we've done Seminole area twice and gone out of Veterans Park/Bay Pines ramp, head south to John's Pass or cruise up North to Clearwater on ICW. Done Egmont...
