Haven't looked at Polars or Hydra-Sports yet. Will do it though.


Somebody mentioned Key West. They are nice, but a little spartan
compared to the Polar.

Isn't the Ranger the one that's about 800 lbs overweight?


I didn't mention the resolution to that/

Turns out, no.

It's a long story, but the short of it is that the published weight
ranges for that year (it was the first year model and actually the
third boat built) weren't correct - add in a few pounds for
manufacturing tolerance, it turns out it's not overweight.

They added some springs to the trailer, added larger discs/brakes (no
charge) and all is well.

They do stand behind their products.

So, interested? :)


No, not now. I won't be buying anything until we move, which may be next
year or the year after, depending on when the wife retires.
