Will certainly fly if it's like any of the Bumble Bee's I have been around.
I too am of the same mind as WB, did I really type that, think for 6500 he can find more boat. Hope he'll be pleased no matter what he decides.
thanks rees, bout got him talked out of it, hope someone on the board comes up with one that I will feel much better about him buying, I am strongly suggesting that he consider a 70 to 90hp and a boat like Feelay had, he really liked the layout of it and I did also, when my son and Feelay both were able to fish up front and the boat handled it great, I was impressed but him being a youngun he looks at HP and speed and well I know how I was
