New boat builder
1 Attachment(s)
I have been working with a new boat builder out of Kema on my new rig since I sold mine to go bigger. I tell you so far I'm very impressed with these guys as I finally got to test drive it yesterday.

What is a Honda V Max? Also considering they are custom built how are the prices?

Price is awesome in comparison to the Haynie SCB and other customs Vmax is like a turbo on a car

Looks great, but man that's bright. You'll need sunglasses even when it's overcast.

Let's just say it's pretty low for anything comparable. I love Haynie boats just felt I got more bang for my buck on this one Haynie prices have gotten pretty high
|
Any reason for choosing a Honda over the other motors?
|
Looks similar to a bay stealth

It was what the builder distributes is Honda did some research seems like a good motor any comments u can offer
|
| Cripley |
02-09-2015 10:41 PM |
FCJ Lethal 23 is the name of it
|
Nothing wrong with a Honda in my book, they seem more like a cruising motor not a go fast motor but I've never owned one. There is one thing that goes a long with honda though and that is reliability.

It got up and moved when I got on it. Thanks I was hoping for same reliability Honda is known for.

Looking good! I agree with the Bay Stealth comment. It has very similar lines to my Epic up front.

Yes it does it also has the flare on the front of the bow same beam length. If i had to say what it reminds me of i would say Epic bottom with a Haynie top kind of the best of both boats i looked at but with a much better bottom line. I have to say i am also pretty impressed with the Honda so far on its test run.

I think the boat is Longhorn orange, he made it that way to interest some University of Texas fans I would think.
