Anyone running a Wahoo?

[jeffhennessey]

I have seen a few of these on the net for what seem to be good deals. I know that someone left Boston Whaler to form the company and made boats of similar quality. I also know that they are not made anymore. What I'm wondering is, are they any good? Any notorious problems? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a Wahoo 18.5 Offshore. I think it is a great boat.

I am using a 16.5 Wahoo Dual Console with an Evinrude 60 horse. I run about 35 - 40 with it, it is ok for a bay boat. I personally do not like the limited storage space, but then I added a couple fishing seats, cut the fron railing and repositioned that so I could add a trolling motor on the bow. Noisey hull in a tide, but still has a shallow enough run that I can get up in the creeks. I can pole in about 9" of water.
It is just fine for me coonsidering I have about 2500.00 in it (less the top of the line trolling motor and latest fish finder) and have used it now for almost three years.

I can fish inshore reefs as well, in that situation I do like the higher rails.
