Good boat, IMO. Watch out for the transom, they tend to be low in a following sea you can get some serious water on the deck.

Otherwise very nice from a passenger perspective.

Jimmy, or anyone for that matter. if you are looking for a boat I bet you could get a great deal on that ocean scout out in front of quaker lane that has been there for over a year. The sign recently changed from "for sale" to "best offer" or something like that. that is a nice looking boat too. I have no affiliation with the boat, know nothing about it, and it could be a POS, but if I was in the mkt, I would give it a serious look.

Absolutely find one you can a ride on first before going and spending your money!
I've been on a 25ft walkaround,
and in my opinion a POS !!!
Very scary ride in slightly rought seas, especially any waves taken on the side !!!
Just my opinion, but there are much better boats/ deals out there !!! |

This was a brand new 25 walk around that I got out on a few times last year because I wanted to see what the new F250 4stroke Yamaha was like before I layed down $$$ and repowered from my
F200 ! |

I drove by QUacker Lane yesterday and that boat caught my attenttion. I am just lookng around now for used boats 18-22 feet. I spent alot of time on boats as a kid but I dont know if I should get a 16 or 17 ft for a few years and then work my way up to a 22-24. I am looking for under 15g and I've seen some nice boats for that price. Robalos were one.

Jim, have you thought of getting an older hull and re-powering??? That is my eventual goal with my mako. with your budget you could buy a new engine and an old hull and have something very reliable. Remember, if the hull is over 30 years old you can say 'vintage' instead of 'old'  |
