Picked up a 2004 Sailfish 218 with 2004 150 2S yammy, at the start of the summer. Keep it in Gloucester MA. A few engine issues that I hope are behind me, sorting out the prop now and RPMs. Been fishing offshore, Jeff’s and Stellwagon for ground fish and sharks. Had a great summer so far. Not much luck inshore this year for bass- but not tying that hard. Great to see this board up- found the boat on the old site, but could not get an account—so thanks to those that started this one up. Thank you! Attachment Deleted

Glad you found us. Welcome aboard and nice looking boat. Those old 2S Yamahas are almost bullet proof. I hope yours has all the kinks out and treats you well.

What prop did you settle on? Most of the 218's with 150's came with the Reliance 17" pitch props from the factory.

That is really wild, I don't know if we've ever seen that on the forum before.
