Up for sale is a super clean 1993 Grady White 208 Adventure with a 2003 200 HP Yamaha OX66 fuel injected Salt Water Series II outboard. Engine was purchased as a leftover and mounted on this boat in 2006. Engine has extremely low hours. Boat is entirely re-done and in excellent condition. Heres the details. This boat was bought by my neighbor (a very old man) in 2005. It was his "dream boat". He purchased a new engine from Port of Egypt marine in Southold NY(a Grady White/Yamaha dealer) which was a 2003 engine that was rigged on the boat in 2006. Bought new as a leftover. The fuel tank was also replaced around that time. Unfortunately this man was really not capable of trailering and running the boat, it was just too much for him. He used it once or twice a season at most. It basically sat in his back yard for the next few years and slowly turned to sh!t. I am saying less then 100 hours on the engine to be safe, there are probably less then 50! No way to tell hours for sure, I had a Yamaha mechanic hook up his laptop to make sure there were no trouble codes or issues (which there was not) and to check total hours. Unfortunately, this Yamaha engine does not record engine hours in its ECM (thats what the tech said) and there is no hour meter on the dash. I know for a fact there are almost no hours on this engine. It was never used. When we bought it, it was covered in leaves, had flat tires, and was just in bad shape, really in need of some TLC and upgrades. The boat has been fully gone through from bow to stern and is 100% turn key condition. Every single thing on the boat works, all systems have been upgraded, and she is ready to cruise or fish. Here is a list of everything that was done. All work was done in the last year or so. The list is kind of in order of what we did from when we first got the boat until present. I'm sure I'll forget something but here goes:Fuel tank drained & flushed by Direct Fuel of Long Island, NY. We then put 40 gallons (93 octane) in and had Rob from Direct Fuel come back with his polishing machine to polish the fuel/flush the tank, just to be sure there were no "crumbs" left in the tank. Tank/fuel is spotless (tank was replaced around the time of the re-power, thats right a NEW TANK installed by the dealer around the time the engine was changed as well!). Dual battery switch installed with (2) new 1000 CCA batteries. All battery cables replaced from batteries to engine and from batteries to battery switch. The battery cable jackets were dry rotted and also not the correct gauge (thickness) for a 200 HP engine. We used factory OEM Yamaha cables from the batts to the engine and #2 gauge cable was used everywhere else. All new cable terminal ends were installed and all connections were sealed with heat shrink tube. All new main hot and ground feed wires run up to dash for the main DC fuse panel. New switch panel at helm. New fuse panel and 90% of wiring in boat is new. New top mount binnacle Yamaha 704 control box. New control cables. New Teleflex rotary steering helm & bezel. New tinted Lexan gauge and electronics box covers. New VHF radio with new Antenna. All new Grady White decal set (every single stripe, logo, etc is new). New double mini horn. New wiper motor, wiper arm, & wiper. All the stock laminate wooden trim (high maintenance stuff) that came on this boat was removed and replaced with genuine marine King Starboard maintenance free plastic trim to match the black factory louvers on the cabin door. The black trim really "pops" and looks awesome (see the pics), looks sweet. New fuel fill hose. ENGINE: All 6 fuel injectors cleaned and flow tested by PCFI of long Island and installed with all new OEM o-rings. Engine fully tuned up: spark plugs, all fuel filters, in-line oil filter at oil tank, etc. Oil tank cleaned/flushed. New OEM factory complete water pump kit, new OEM thermostats & poppit valve installed. New bottom paint (2 weks ago). Newer gauges (they were faded and cracked, I found a nice used set on feclassifieds board). Engine runs great, powerhead is so clean, looks like a 2016. Entire boat compound & waxed (2 weeks ago) hull sides & entire topsides. The boat shines beautifully. Trailer is tandem axle, Load Rite galvanized. Has four (4) brand new tires. All new wheel bearings, axle seals, etc. New trailer winch & cable. All new LED trailer lights and trailer wiring harness. New safety chains and new dual wheel trailer jack. I'm sure I forgot a bunch of stuff but you get the idea. Cabin is spotless, all upholstery in the cabin is in great shape, porta-potti never used, etc. I have the bimini top as well, its in good shape but needs a seem sewed up on one side. Check out the pics and see for yourself. I don't think you will find a turn-key boat like this anywhere. Open any hatch, look in the bilge, look at anything you want. No birds nests of wires, all wires run nicely, everything routed the right way & super clean. The actual time put into this job is unbelievable, hundreds of hours. This boat is beautiful and in great shape. Legendary Grady White ride & name. Boat originally had a carbureted 150 HP. Now, with the 200 HP EFI it really flies. Plenty of power, jumps right on plane and rides beautifully. All updated and ready to go. It is in great shape all around and has basically no hours. There are a couple small chips here and there in the gel-coat (absolutely not major), the helm seat cushions/seat cushions are a bit worn, etc. Things you would expect with a boat from 1993 but overall in great condition, way, way above average condition. She shines beautifully. I am asking a fair price for what she is worth, go price out this model new from the dealer, it would cost you $75k. Just to buy a brand new 200 HP Yamaha without controls is over $18k. This boat/motor/trailer combo is well worth the money. Make a reasonable offer, she's got to go. We will demo for serious buyers. Boat needs nothing. Thanks.****Also, replaced the oil injection pump (I was nervous because it had sat for a while and when we cleaned/flushed the boat side oil tank, there was some sludge in the bottom). Replaced with brand new OEM factory Yamaha part which costs over $450. During the tune up the VST tank was also opened up and cleaned (it really wasnt dirty) and the VST high pressure fuel pump filter/screen was replaced as well just because I was already into it. Low pressure fuel pump diaphram's were replaced as well (again, they were fine but Yamaha recommends they be done periodically so I did them). Everything done as it should be, turn key, NEEDS NOTHING. Don't buy something that you have to dump money into. This boat is ready to go fishing now. Boat is for sale locally. If it sells I will pull this ad.

Questions
Does the boat have any canvas with it or just the Bimini. I see the snaps in the picture but no references to it. Trailer equipped with brakes? Would you be open to a Surveyor to take a look and do a sea trail?we are in North Central CT. Priced on the high side for the year but if its everything you say its may be justified.
I would like to speak to someone about this boat . I live in Warwick ny and would like to possibly see the boat . Can someone call me
