i've been asked, how i was chosen. all i did was submit my name, and my experiences, with boating.
this is not an ad, for the boat, as i have no ties or obligation to the boat.
there was myself and 8 writers from various Boating Magazines, there for the test. we were not told the manufacturer, which is a first in the boating industry, we rated this boat strickly on it's on merits, and not the manufacturers, reputation.
thus, i'm going to let you guess who the Mfgr is, by looking at the pictures.
I will say that we put these 3 boats thru the wringer more than once. and you would have to be a complete idiot, to get in real trouble in these boats.
we had a 20mph winds gusting to 30 1-2 foot chop. wot @ 4500 got us in the 45-to 49 mph range. the ride was great for a 20 footer, detail to space, storage, and finish was super.
the instrument panel looks like it came out of the top of the line car. no glare, or reflection. the cockpit layout, is almost as big as my 23' deckboat.
there are 3 models, the fish & ski, where all the features have there on storage locker. the pedistal seats, are all removeable with there on storage space, and other than the trolling motor mount, you never know it was a FnS.
then there is the standard bowrider. full appointed,
and the ski, wakeboard package, with tower, this boat with the tower is about 1 1/2 seconds longer to get on plane than the other packages, as the weight of the tower throws the center of weight to the stearn about 12".
standard engine is a carborated 5.0, or you can down grade to the 4.3.
Ok, tell me who makes it. i was surprized.
