No problem . I wanted it as tender for my sea ray, but I never used for that. I ran it around a few times on the sound and my back killed me afterwards. This boat belongs on a lake or to be used during the week. A lot of fun, but you need a strong back if you want to run it in any real water. Tom

I have one. It had a merc 50. I put on a 70. It's a beast.

My first boat! Loved it. Had a 25 HP Johnson. No steering wheel - had to use the tiller and gear shift on the motor. Not permitted to take it out till I could crank it by myself (no battery start) and change the shear pin in the prop if I hit something. I was 9. Beat your brains out in a chop, but what a great boat for a kid.

Agree, I use to go water skiing every day during the summer when I was a kid with the same boat , but it had a 35 Johnson. When this one came around I bought it had a tiller handle 25 hp motor , ripped that off and the rest was history, had to create a fast whaler. Have to many toys , don't use this enough so it's time to cut it loose.. |
these things have a fierce following. In the last year i have had two in the shop for painstaking gel restoration per owner. One of them was brought in fully stripped and had 100% of the gel restored to OEM specs with new non skid done in Gibco flex at a cost of nearly 10K in gel work. The other is similar but the owner has opted to do a lot of the grunt work himself with me doing a partial Gibco flex and the finish gel. These guys really like these things and they seem to have a strong following. Great little boats
