Help me find a boat
I bought a Bombardier Utopia 185 last summer. It is an 18.5' jet boat
powered by a 200hp Merc and is trailerable. The boat is ok but I am very unhappy with Bombardier and plan to sell the boat next summer while the brand new engine is still working well. I like jet boats only because they have no propeller and we have lots of lakes up here and in nearby Maine - some are shallow and all have unmarked obstacles (read: rocks just below the surface!) I have to have a boat that I can trailer and launch easily; it will be towed by my truck, a V8 powered Superduty Ford F-250 4wd which is setup to tow my tractor on a utility trailer (8000 lbs). I have a lot of boating experience, but 30 years passed between my last boat and the one I bought last summer so I'm not very "up" on what's happened in between. I'm looking for a nice runabout. I'll do a lot of cruising and fishing and want something comfortable and fast. I'd like to stay away from Mercury engines. What do folks here recommend? -- Larry email is rapp at lmr dot com |
