Same here, I sold the V and got the OX and I to am very very happy with it! I bought a hard top for it and added trim tabs, as I was told these boats must have trim tabs for best performance!
Well I have been in some crap that I would have banged all the way home in the V and this thing is like riding on a cloud! Mine is a converted Seadrive with bracket, so I have the full transom. I just really need to save for some good power! I had a 225 Eveinrude but it was old and had many problems. I got a great deal on a fresh water 175 Merc, and that's whats on there right now. It does mid 20's just fine but that said it is the smallest motor I would want on there!! I will up grade when money allows, but till then this will be fine.

I bought mine this past winter, It had a hard top W/ canvas, full transom W/ bracket, bennett tabs, & hydraulic steering. It's a 1987 the guy burned the power head. I had my 1995 Merc which neded rings, so I did rings & bearings, Bought some parts here & there to extend to 25 inch shaft from 20 inch. New merc controls & cables (Blown motor was OMC) Had to buy some parts for the steering. Then I found the gas tank was NG I pulled the deck, Not impossible on this boat, Had another tank made, & powder coated. Repaired one crack in the top frame. Used my electronics 10 year old chart plotter, 3 year old FF, his (came with boat) VHF S.H. Nova, My antenna. Bought an aluminum Trailer used of course, & I'm done for this year. Used the boat every weekend this year except this one. Spent about $8000. - $9000. total for everything, I love the boat, I believe it was not too much for what I have now. If you need information or just an opinion you can E-Mail me. I even have original owners manual. [email protected] Good luck, Joe
