BCFountain, I am enjoying the boat very much. I havent run it too hard , but saw high 60's on gps just playing around. (my son was on board). I am going to go with the anchor shade , because i dont feel right mounting a bimini on it.
LILREDBOAT, Triton? I'm not familiar with that , but I purchased the boat from a real good guy in SC if that gets me close.
Thanks again.

Picked up an anchor shade today from a local retailer for $149. Looks pretty nice and will make for some good shade.
I'm ready to go now!
Thanks again for the advice

hey what's wrong with a bimini. my 35 lightning came with one stock and even a place to store it under the engine hatch. i guess i haven't even took it out yet but it is still cool to have it.

Well, I bought the boat and I love it. The engine is a fresh 502 mpi with alittle work. It has Cmi Headers and the boat sounds sick. I really like the way it handles compared to my smaller boat.
I do have one issue though. I take my little guy (17 months) out with me on all of my boats and there is really no good cover for him. The birth is ok, but it gets pretty warm. Now dont laugh, but have any of you put a ... Cough... Bimini top on one of these boats?
What do you think, and if you have done it , how did it look and are you happy with it. I figure I would only use it while rafted up and not while underway.
Thanks

Hi thirdgen327,
I also have been a fan of these boats since the early 90's. Just havent had the wallet to own one yet. You know you have to have goals in life and to have one of these in my driveway is one of my goals . I also would like to own a 27 or 29 and continue to save a little everyday. Where did you find it and why was he selling?
Congrats! ( Im jeolous)
