I already am a chik magnet . . . . . . notice i didnt say no head. One of the places we frequent is a pretty good walk to the nearest facilities. That i will keep but it will be minimal. . . . no sink in there either, there will be some Purell hangin from a rope and light weight toilet paper. . . lol

Where is this OP from? I was Great Lakes for years and moved to VA back in July. It gets just as snotty here in the Chesapeake Bay as it does on the Great Lakes. My guess is he is one of these small inland lake guys??

I would say yea . . . . on the Bullet being a good Lake Erie boat. White with flag graphics seem to do even better

Or are they claiming these boats are best just because they can't afford something newer? Oh snap!

From what I have read the 31 Bullet is amazing for a 31 footer, never been on one but heard a ton of good things...looking at the one at MArine Tech?
