Re: ? About boat dealers
Update: I finally got it on the water and I love it!<br /><br />I have to say that I'm glad, though, that I went with the 20 hp rather than the 25 (it's rated for 30 max). I know a lot of you guys have faster boats, but this combination goes like he!!, and is fast enough for me!<br /><br />I was testing it out trying to discover its limitations and quirks before I let the kids use it and went over another boat's wake at WOT that was bigger than it looked, and I swear I was airborne! Scared me to death, and resulted in rules #1 and 2: Always attach the kill switch lanyard to yourself, and Don't go WOT in wind or waves.<br /><br />With the 20, it gets on plane real nice and rides great at a good clip with a couple passengers. Also handles rough water well, I used to always get wet in my old boat.<br /><br />So thanks again for all your advice and opinions, they helped me get the boat that's right for us. We are having a ball with it!<br /><br />
