Good entry-level boat, plenty of power for pulling kids on a tube, and good all around family boat. Not a real high level of fit and finish though.

This was our first boat and we since we weren't sure if we'd actually use a boat enough to justify the cost, we bought the cheapest entry-level one we found.

We don't regret the choice, but we after two seasons, we are trading it for a bigger one. In the process, we've found that this model really loses its value quickly.

It is easy to get on and off the trailer and operate. One thing we didn't like is when at higher speeds, the steering wheel will turn hard(if you let go) unless you have the lower unit trimmed perfectly.

As a 6'4"/220 lb person, I had no room behind the wheel and had to sit sideways when in the driver's seat. Tilt steering wheel would be nice as well as an adjustable seat. I literally could not sit facing forward in the seat.

While I said we don't regret the choice, if we were to do it again, we would go with a larger, more comfortable boat...but then again, hindsight is 20/20. This was a good learning experience for us. We just should have done a little more homework.
