Default 2104 frontier test ride
I'm seriously considering downsizing to the frontier 2104. I wanted to see if anyone had one, preferably with a 200hp, and would be up for a giving a test ride. Will be more than happy to compensate for fuel and time with gas, beer, crown, handy from pox, etc.

I have the suzuki 175, Let me know when you want to take a ride . I consider a 200 it was pointless at the time, bc of the price/weight and the 200 was 5-6mph faster and 5k more. but Now that they have the yamaha inline 200.

53-54 with a full load with the suzuki 175 anything faster in that boat is crazy.

It does very well in the chop. The flare in the front really keep the water from coming over the bow and the reverse chim throws the water Parallel to the water line.

I had it in some slop. vermillion bay with a front coming in from the north. Had a 17 mile run to go.

I had mine in 2.5s in lake P a month ago and it chewed it up.
I was skeptical but road home quite impressed. I have one with a 175 also. 56-57 best I have got. 1/4 tank and just me.
3 people fuel and gear I can get about 51 pushing it. Handles great.

So the question is who is willing to give a demo. I'll make sure pox meets us at the launch with plenty of lube.
