Hey - what can I say - I like the boat. :)

I've gotten a fair amount of use out of the boat so if and when I buy
another one (which is not out of the question for next year), I just
might look into it a little more - as in take the boat apart.

Ok, maybe not take the boat apart, but certainly do some test cores
through the access panels (which, strangely, there are a lot of) just
to see one way or the other.

Admittedly, sans the extra weight, it might go a tad faster than it
does now, but so what?

You also have to take into consideration that the year 2000 bay boat
was the very first model year for that style boat from Ranger. I
heard via a pretty reliable source that the guy in PA who bought the
sister boat to mine (reverse color scheme on his) came up with a
similar figure when he traded trucks - a diesel to a gas engine truck
which is exactly what happened with me.

So it certainly is possible that Ranger screwed up the specs somewhere
along the way.

That would make sense. Being a new model, maybe in the rush to get it
out they just based the figures on the computer models...

.... and then took a bit more off just for good measure

But I can see
it happening, without too much of a conspiracy.
