This ol' girl's days of pulling skiers are pretty much over, all she has to do is provide me with a few fun hours on the river every couple of weeks to maintain my mental health.. She never fails to draw a crowd at the launch ramp or any dock I tie up at. Right now as under propped as it is, its acceleration from a dead stop is absolutely brutal because the engine can spool up to its peak torque so quickly. It almost feels like getting shot out of a cannon! Which is surprising since this little boat tips the scales at just over 2700 pounds with a full tank of fuel. She's like a lot of the early fiberglass boats.... Grossly over built.. I launched it off the top of a huge wake from a passing wakeboard boat one weekend and put probably three feet of daylight between her keel and the water. The only thing that rattled when I landed was my fillings! Here's a short video I shot on her "maiden" voyage back in October 2022. My buddy driving the boat was scared to death as it was his first time driving a boat.
