Default New Boat

We were down in Fort Lauderdale for the week and picked this up to run around the canals. We hit the sandbar in Fort Lauderdale a couple of times and just cruised around. The one picture is from my buddies deck boat. Boating down there is just Awesome. So many restaurant to go to it never would get old. Found this old Cig laying in one of the marina's.
I need to get a few Cigarette stickers for it. Lol

Thanks, can probably fit five drunks inside and tow at least three behind the boat...Lol
Had a blast down there in this. Looking to get a bigger engine as it only has a 3hp, not bad with one person but with two its like an egg beater!
Seriously considering taking the Bullet down in the fall and leaving it down there for the winter, yah I know salt water but that would be fun as hell! I'm looking into renting storage or dry rack now, anyone else interested?

We love our inflatable. Bigger motor is the way to go. Mine will run 26mph with 2 people and almost 30 with just me.

What size engine is it? Name plate says max hp is 5 on mine. I was thinking maybe like 6-8 hp.
I like the Cig decals on the engine cover.

25HP. Max says 15HP

I have an 8HP Nissan but I think Ryan is going to take it.

Let me know what you find...Michelle keeps bugging me about bringing ours down for the winter. We got the same impression as you when we were down there last year!

Kicking around towing it down Thanksgiving weekend, doing the FMO New Year's Run and possibly Miami Boat Show PR. Go and get it for Spring Break, just like we did last year...boat down there for a couple days and enjoy the SUN!

Snowmobiling makes it tough, though....

I am thinking more like two years from now (I want to do a bit of an upholstery update, and I'll wait for a couple seasons before giving it back to Pat)...but I AM interested...
