My best friend has one I use it all the time. It's a great boat until the wind gets to about 10+ and then u get soaked. Other than its a great boat. The 90 Optimax that pushes it does well also. It gets up on step in about a foot of water it has a tunnel.

Good. Can't complain. Great for the marsh yet I've fished in the lake a few times and even took it to the beach once. Great boat I can take some pics he just put a powerpole on it. His is loaded out.

I bought one in May, 2011 model. So far I really like the boat, dry ride and planes out quick. It also has the 90 Optimax. The 2012 model is rated for 115 Hp. Only complaint no lean post just the flip flop seat. May get a Power Pole or Talon soon, just have not decided on which one yet.

Rippinlipps55 if you want to take a ride one day we can meet in Lake Charles or somewhere close and take my boat out to see if you like it. Never been fishing in Big Lake, maybe we could make a trip. I'm off shore now but will be in next week. Let me know.
