I get on plane (1993 208 Adventure) at 33-3400rpm with a 150 Yammie 2 stroke, so would agree that something seems fishy here

Sounds like water in the gas to me. I had the same problem until installing a water-separating (Racor) filter. Ended up having some related E10 issues too so I drained the whole tank and refilled with "clean gas". Make sure you have someone check your carbs after running this way for awhile...

Hi All- Been out a few times this spring and have noticed an issue starting up. Engine cranks (choked) for 4-5 seconds three or 4 times before "catching"/sparking and starting up. At idle and slow harbor speed, it seems I'm not firing on all cylinders. As soon as I get to 2700-3000 rpms, life...

I've got a '93 208 with the 2S Yamaha 150 and it has been a solid setup for me. Had some major E10-related issues last year, but seem to be out of the woods after pumping 60 gal of bad fuel out and installing a racor water separating filter. Going in the water tomorrow, so I hope this vote of...

Hey - I'm not going in until April 8th or 9th and I thought I had the whole Maine coast to myself! :o

Was out on Casco Bay (Maine) this morning at 7am. 34 degrees, 10 knot breeze out of the NNE, mild chop. Had the bay to myself and was marveling at the difference 1' of boat can make in quality of life and length of season. I've always put my boat in in early April and hauled it out around...

A little south of Bar Harbor in Casco Bay, we get 8.5 to 11 footers - 10.4 today...

Hi All; This is kind of a funny story, but on the off chance that it helps someone else, I'll post it - even if it makes me feel slightly more idiotic than usual. :oops: I was having my boat (1993 Adv 208/Yamaha 150 2S) serviced for some E10-related fuel issues (which, thankfully seem to...

Hey guys - thanks for all the input. Very helpful. the mystery DOES seem to be how the first tank of E10 could create such an immediate and dramatic mess. I only had 10 gallons left in the tank and consensus was is couldn't be MBTE since I always fill at the marina. You should see the test...

Hi All; I have a 93 Adventure with Yamaha 150 (2S) of the same vintage. My marina just switched to E10 fuel and I was planning to use most (if not all) of the MBTE fuel left in my 82 gallon tank before refilling. Since my fuel guage shows "out of fuel" with about 20 gallons left in the tank, I...

Yes, it's a 208. I spent about a year and a half looking and am really happy with her. The season gets pretty short up here in a fully open boat. I sold a 19' Wellcraft CC that I had for 10 years and can't belive the difference in ride - and warmth - especially in April and November. I've got a...

You must be kidding. I've been in since early April - one of the reasons I went Grady. :) Pete H

Haven't tried posting yet, so hopefully this will work. I've been "lurking" this group for almost a year. Bought my first Grady last fall, so I thought I'd show her off. Love the boat and this forum has been an amazing way to get educated. Thanks to all http://s641.photobucket.com/albums/uu13...
