Sport boat or whoever else is left should do a round up like the car mags do; drag a bunch of boats in the same size class out to a notoriously rough spot and run em then review em. I would honestly like to know how they all stack up

Sounds great! Use the same driver, same local, same speeds, plus. The same money? That sounds fun. Are we talkin used boats under a hundred k? Narrow it down a bit. Let's say for arguments sake you want to run 90ish and run well in 3-5. What do we have? In my mind I see 3 up to 5 boats (used), Take those and have at it! Same day . same conditions. imo

288's 33 AT is a beautiful boat and if it can fall w/in one's budget will be hard to beat for this size range.

Thanks homie. As for another boat I could never go smaller than what I've already got.

If my motor wasn't down for the season I'd bring the a/t over to lake Michigan and put on a clinic for the 32-34 guys :thankyouthankyou:

Not trying to thread jack but what happened to the 525 kid?

THE 288 KID 08-03-2012 05:06 AM

Oooo the ol' 525 valve stick. Common on #7,#8 cylinders. Apparently the northeast guys call a full upper rebuild replacing a pushrod and rocker and calling it a day. Cams alittle scored up now too. Time for the kid to bust out some $$$$ and make it right.... Hopefully be running 95+ next year!

Might put it officially on the market after that, sell it, then go low ball the piss out of some apache guys!

Man, I really like the lines on that boat, she's sure is purty! I would love to check one out someday. Does it have a cabin? pics?

lets do it on Lake Erie with 35 MPH winds out of the north... I would enter my slow ass mistress to run with 80-90 MPH boats in it... ... if this were to happen its gotta be in some fukked up ass conditions... anyone who has boated on LE especially western basin knows what I'm stalking about.... I am not saying the faster boats can't do it in big water..but I can tell you they will feel it way more and your not running 80-90 in LE 4-6 footers... or bigger....trust me
