    Nice Boat. Just remember to tie it up when you jump out to mushroom hunt.
    And YES, there is a story behind that!!!

    Sorry for the slow reply! Its a 2005 boat and motor with a 225 merc optimax on it. Motor only had 153 hours on it, and hadnt been used the last 4 years. I was pretty skeptical but had it serviced and had videos of it running, stopping, and running full throttle sent to me to reasure me. Its 20'6" long and I will have my humminbird 1199 SI DI at the wheel and just a simple GPS/sonar humminbird 688 up front. Boat is darn near immaculate with only 2 scratches on the whole thing, I stole it for the price I got it at I believe. Im very happy so far with it!

    Ol Eleanor got broke in on Sunday and I swung about 30 crappie over the side of it on none other than a jig. Had to break it in right!

    Nice boat. Check the trailer and see if it has tie down engineering components. Especially the oil bath hubs. Keep a spare with you. That's the only issue with 05 to 09 or so boats. I got an 06. Only had problems with the trailer. Not wanting to be a downer. Just some helpful advice from one Ranger man to another. Enjoy it.

    you're gonna like that Opti-max, fires up first time every time......and has a real nice rumble to it.

    hope to see you out there some time.
    Crappie fisherman know what I mean.......black or white, they all taste the same.
