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!

Aaron - thank you! Looks good! Did you install?

Thanks for the feedback guys, appreciate it! I'll look into trim tabs. I just hate drilling below the water line...

Eric - I fish in same area, I mostly launch from Oceanside. I do not have trim tabs.

we always use our small cabin for naps during long trolling sessions. Another great find was a marine bean bag - they are soooo comfy! Probably why I don't catch fish....
