1999 Smokercraft Cobra 18 foot fiberglass inquiry

[Nos]

Just wondering if anyone has any insight on smokercraft's 180 cobra fiberglass fish n ski boat. I'm looking at purchasing one and didn't know that they made fiberglass boats........any issues I should be concerned with?......its powered by a 135 merc outboard and the only issue they have/had was cavitation on sharp turns and they had to have the floor drains sealed at the transom as water would come back into the boat when they were in it?

Is it a solid boat or was this the proto-type that they improved on since it was one of the first fiberglass boats they made.

Thanks!

I believe they were originally marketed under the Sylvan brand, which is now owned by SmokerCraft. Try a search under "Sylvan Viper" - you might have better luck.
