You will prob wait a long time to find 1 with a mag, not many out their , id say it was a lot more money new and most didn't opt for it.plus your only talking about 2 or 3 mph more. My 208 pushed a 24 pitch turbo prop (3 blade) to 4800 rpm so the 1 your looking at not being able to over rev a 21 pitch don't sound right . most would have came a 23 pitch from the factory.

We have a 91 208 islander with the 454 carb, 23p and runs in the low 60's. 19p on it and pulled 6 teenagers on skis with no problem. (not counting the 3 moms with camera's up front) older boat in good shape. we love it. wife says even if we won the lottery we wouldn't buy a new boat.
