Anybody own one or have any experience with these boats? Looking to purchase one strictly for fishing. Rigged with a 140/150 outboard what kind of speeds can I expect and also how is the ride? Thanks |

50 mph depending on how much b's you have them install. It's a flat bottom boat. Gonna get splashed a bit. Look at their bay/bass boats too. They are finishing one now that looks awesome! |

Thats kind of what I was thinking. I would definitely get the raked V hull to help with the chop. Just trying to stay in a size range that will fish shallow and get outside on good calm days. |

If you have the coin to put a 150 on why not go with a 20 ft. Prodigy just finished one and its a sweet rig. Either way I'd go bigger with that size motor. |

1854, 3/16 hull, with a hunt deck, hybrid rake, and a bunch more decks and accessories. I know of three of these boats. Two have 115 optis and one has a 60 yamaha. 115's run 50. The 60 runs 33. I hope that helps. |

I don't know where you run, buy those suzuki motors corrode horribly in the salt water. They corrode from the inside out. I've seen a honda and a suzuki do it. |

I fish in Delacroix, LA. First I've heard of this. Will definitely have to check on this. Lot of Suzuki's sitting on boat slips down there tho. |

Not to trash Suzuki but parts are hard to come by over here in mobile just 1 dealer Yamaha mercury every corner it seems like just saying it might be sitting while you wait for a part. |

Bought a Suzuki 4 stroke salt water 300 hp and have had good luck with it. I been running up to 20 miles out. Fuel mileage is awesome. It's on a 24' bay. Speed is 57mph |
