its a beutiful looking and handling boat
i own her now about 13 years and still love her lines the only reason i would ever sell her is to get a bigger boat but i dont see that happening anytime soon
i fish with my three sons and me thats 4 people and am comfortable no need to get a bigger one and besides i have more fishing room then most of the bigger boats up to 24 feet
its just a great looking boat
great lines
and lookm at how many of us loves them
her own website cool
i used to have a 16 foot cobia tri hull and when i saw the steplift out there i said thats the next boat i own and didnt look at any other boats because they didnt look good to me
but there are a lot of great boats out there gradys, makos, bu5t i still am happy

For me, a boat, or a car, or a bike, is just A TOOL !!!
An older boat is simply easy to keep ready, fixable by simple methods, and easier going on the pocket. Also, you don`t have to suffer when scratches, bounces, spilled drinks or food, people stomach backfires, etc, etc, jejejejeje. I just enjoy the rides.
I remember one time, this guy asked me to install a GOOD fish finder on his Brand Spanking New Wellcraft. I told him, that for BEST depth operation, a good thru-hull transducer was the way to go, but that I needed to drill a big hole on his new boat. He said he could not handle it, that he would have to get a few drinks to relax. We planned for a saturday at 7:00am at his house, and when I arrived that day, he was so drunk already that he actually celebrated and enjoyed the moment !!! He kept the hull round piece I removed and later made a plaque from it for his office. jejejejeje
An older boat, no problem with drilling jejejejeje !!!!!
