What would it take for you to take it out with me along for the ride? So to speak. :) I am sure a demo ride can be arranged for you. As for me, I have zero interest in buzzing around Buzzard's Bay at 65 mph in a 24' boat with gunnels 18" above the water. Just think of it as a Porsche on a test run. Think about it - it's has a big engine, handles well and is really fast. Only it's a boat. On water. You think the Porsche would tow one of these? This is one sexy looking boat ....

(black hulled Yellowfin 24) http://nplots.com/Documents/BB3w.JPG I agree with the black hull - that is slick looking. I like those Verados on a boat that size. I wouldn't turn one down if it was offered with a boat as a package. I would prefer ETECs, but that's a good second choice. My Ranger is technically a "bay" boat, but the hull is actually a Ranger 620 hull with a CC and T-top. It has a sharper bow entry than most bay boats. http://www.rangerboats.com/flash/spe...4&series=multi Ranger made them off the 620 for two years, dropped the 20 until 2005, then brought it back with this which is a completely different boat. http://www.rangerboats.com/flash/gal...ries=sal****er I don't like the styling of the new Bay Rangers. I get a lot of comments on my boat and they are always positive |

Basically, you drift along the beach uisng a light at night and when you see the shape of of a flounder in the sand, you press the button and it gigs the flounder, brings it up to the surface, the pole rotates and delivers a freshly gigged flounder. It can also be used for a trailer jack. Sometimes it's used to position the boat - you set the pole into the bottom to hold the boat in position. Handy in a tidal rip or on a flat to keep you from drifting too close to structure, the beach or such as that. |
