Re: javlin boats
I have a Javelin 409 F/S. Great boat. I really think it's a stable fishing boat, but I've only ever fished on a friends bass boat other than mine, you have to hang on for dear life if someone walks across the deck on his boat that thing gets to rocking but don't experience that with mine. Javelin was purchased by Stratos a few years ago. The only downside I've found with the fish and ski is the windshield does get in the way occasionaly when casting. However once I got used to it being there no big deal, my wife however still gets hung up on it occasionally among trees and other things but that's a different story. The only other complaint I have is the lack of a decent rod storage area. I keep my rods in the under deck storage area but they tend to get tangled up. One of these days when I get a couple hours free time I'm going to build something to keep them separated. I came very close to this spring to trading mine on a Ranger 520. Did the research, setup a test run, and while waiting the couple days on a test run thought, you know, my boat isn't perfect, but it works for me, it's almost paid for, no way I'm trading on a 22000 dollar(used) boat. Anyways, enjoy the boat.
