Additional Information / Boat Review:
Engine Manufacturer, Model, and Horsepower Rating:
Mercury
What do you like and dislike about the engine(s)?
dislike the gas consumption
What type trailer do you have and what do you like and dislike about it?
galvanized steel. I like the trailer but the axles are not heavy duty enough for the weight of the boat
Is this boat trailerable and if so what type vehicle, at minimum, would you recommend to adequately pull this rig?
I would recommend dodge 2500 cummins diesel or a ford equivalent in diesel.
How much fuel does the boat hold and what is its approximate range?
2
Describe the ride and handling in moderate chop and in rough water:
Moderate chop it handles fine. Rough water is a different matter.
If applicable, what type of fishing would you say this rig is best suited for and why?
It is good for anything you you would want to do as long as you don't want to get beat up in 4' seas.
Describe the layout of the boat including storage, live wells, lockers and so on:
Two large storage areas at bow that can be used as fish boxes. Two storage areas in stern section of floor that can be used as fish boxes as well. Center console storage. 25 gallon live well and 15 gallon fresh water rinse. Raw water rinse.
How has the rig held up over time?
It is holding up fine.
What are some things that you find exceptional about this boat?
I don't find anything exceptional.
What are some things you do not like about this boat?
The hull isn't quite deep enough to handle rough water well.
Do you know of another manufacturer that makes this same boat under a different name?
No.
Would you buy this boat again or recommend it to a friend?
I would recommend this boat to someone wanting a boat this size without paying Proline prices. I believe this boat closely resembles the Proline line of boats. This is a good starter boat for its size and under $50,000
What would you say this boat is worth in its current condition?
$26,000
What other boat would you have bought for roughly the same money if you had it to do over again and why?
Can't think of one I could have bought for the same price that was the same age.
Add any other details or comments you think people should know about this boat if they are considering buying one like it:
This boat is a good boat but does have it's faults as most do. Not sure if what I have fixed was because of Manufacturer negligence or dealer prep failures.http://www.forumpictureprocess...7.jpg">
