Default Re: MAN I LOVE THESE.......

Penn Yan Boats: Please think twice about what you need in a boat......A friend of mine had one with a 305 chevy inboard, tunnel drive etc. While it was finished out nice it was very ,very heavy ,slow and very hard to get in and out of the slip and would drift uncomfortably under bridges and in tight inlet channels due to the lack of prop control which was why they were never really popular in the big blue but would probably make an OK lake boat. In a lot of ways it reminded me of a jet drive as they wander a lot at low speed. The I/O version may be a different animal but the inboard left a lot to be desired and hard to drift off a shoal. Just my humble opinion.... Frank
