http://www.sokyshop.com/index.php?a=2&b=1209

Going to check this boat out soon. Owner has not had very long and only used a couple of times. Did not have a great deal of info on the motors etc. Anyone familar with this boat, what it will run, history, etc.

Thanks for any help.

There is history on that boat somewhere on this site. It looks very familiar. I think there is even a pic of Reggie driving it on here somewhere if it is the same boat.

Looks like a boat I would want to drive in the winter.

Can you say blistered feet??

It shure does look beautiful though.

I am with Jonnie. THere are a lot of boats that are newer for only a few dollars more.

Those straight bottom 42's are built like tanks though. Tbones is like riding on a flying carpet in the big water.

The boat was on Fox lake in IL. A very clean boat as I recall.

Thanks for the info. I will let you guys know how it goes. It has been for sale for a while and am not going to pay anywhere near that price. We will see what cash in hand can get it done for a good price. I will just get a pair of mittens so I dont burn my hands when I touch everything.

I am up on the chain once in a while as I live about 30 miles away. That's a lot of boat for the chain though.
