"Great
and very fast boat. Had a 150 Evinrude and ran 70 mph. Just set a 200 Merc
on it, looking for high 70's or 70. Sprayed interior floor, decks and lids
with gator guard. In the process of replacing everything. New Motorguide,
Lowrance electronics, aerator system, just everything in the boat. Plan on
completing early 2012. It's White w/Grey Blue flake. Will post pics when
complete." |

pleased with the boat. The holeshot is unbelievable and really handles
well in the roughest of water (Lake Michigan). When trimmed up in calm
water this boat rides like glass. I would have to rate this boat a solid 9
for looks, dependability. As for being a '99 this boat still looks like a
newer boat. I only widh they still made them like this. Can anyone tell me
where to get two windshields for this boat, it's one of the only things
lacking." |
