Don't rush them....not where you want someone hurrying things up to calm down a crazy customer.

No complaints from me. I have 80 hours on mine now. From pulling kids in the tube, skiing, wake boarding, and fishing. It does it all.

Purrty looking boat. The best two days of boat ownership are the day you pick it up and the day you sell it. LOL. Congrats

I'm looking at getting one in near future, I mainly fish Toledo but want the SW capability and wondering how well it handles the swells because Toledo can get nasty at times. I cracked a weld on my Alumacraft from the beating of Toledo chop. And also how rough is the ride in those conditions?

rides great due to the design of the hull (similar to a bas boat). Handles offshore SC great. Good dry boat

I'll be honest. It's the one that came on the motor when I bought it. I have a great hole shot, and at WOT i have 5900 RPM, so I never thought about trying a new prop. I can look when I get home to see what pitch it is thought.

The reason I ask is for my brother. He has a similar rig with the F150. His came with a Powertech OFX 21" pitch. He's thinking about trying a Mercury Tempest and a Mercury Trophy both in 21" pitch. He tried my 21" pitch Yamaha Saltwater Series 2. It turned 300 rpm's less than the 21" Powertech and chattered really bad at idle. I believe the 150 needs a lighter weight prop.

I fish toledo bend all the time with mine. Its not as smooth as a 22ft fiberglass boat but it can handle pretty much anything Toledo Bend can dish out. I've crossed the lake in 15+mph winds no problem.
