Brian, you said you'd trade the Mini for one of these...
The Mini is now for sale.

I thought the powerhead was gonna be an anchor! I just don't do enough outboards to know right from wrong.
I wish someone would pull the the trigger on an outboard 33 or 37. They would make a sweet and fast ride.

Ya gotta admit the little boat is badazz! I really enjoyed it. I build it to take the kids tubing and skiing on Lake Osbourne/ Ida.

Remind me to tell you about the time I left the drain plugs out.....

I am just joking about the proving me wrong part Pat, I would NOT expect anything less from you, but you got a bigger set than me, I dont like rough water in a little boat, gimme a 35 foot plus boat for the rough anyday

That must have been a trip on Osbourne/Ida, when I first moved down here I had a 23 Wellcraft bowrider that I just bought, and didnt trust it in the ocean, I ran Osbourne a half a dozen times before I felt it was ready for a run in the salt, and every time, the sheriff, and the waverunners kept a close eye on me, those lakes is kinda small. First time in the Ocean was Air and Sea Show(wife got seasick), we ran down from Hillsboro, and on the way back got passed by the Cat5 Skater, and Met Tim Galagher in his 28 Pantera, I was hooked, and sold the Wellcraft almost immediately

Tell me you didnt leave the plug out, thats amateur stuff

Well, Clark and I checked it out and seatrialed it today.

It handles pretty well, We ran it up to about 55mph on the pitot speedo, and only on the intracoastal. There was a storm offshore and we were getting rain where we were.

I really like the boat, but I'm not going to purchase it right now. I've got too much going on to enjoy it the way I would want to.

I've got too much going on right now too, to consider buying this boat. So I did'nt bother taking it for a demo ride.

Seriously--what's up with a comment like that? I went over the boat very closely; and may not have made a final decision. Truth be told there are several OSO members that are interested in the boat that I am providing feedback to.
