MVT

That was my first thought too, but the previous owner said he kept it in his garage, towed it to the lake and never left it in the water overnight. I was hoping somebody had one like it and would let me know if that was just the nature of this model. Thanks for the reply!

Hi, lurking for a while but just registered. I recently upgraded(?) from a 1990 Javelin 366 DC w/90 to a 2000 Javelin Renegade 18DC w/115 Hp Johnson. I really like the old 366 and wanted another Javelin. Both boats are about the same size, but the newer Renegade, unlike the old one, seems to sit very low in the water. When I put my chubby butt (245 lbs) on the front platform I have about 14" of freeboard above water. This concerns me as I sometimes fish lakes that are pretty rough. I took it out on calm water today and was concerned when pleasure craft pass with a sizable wake. Is this normal for this boat or do I have a problem. I have noticed that the tongue weight on the trailer is much more than the old boat but thought that was just placement and balance on the trailer. The new boat is not overloaded with gear on the front. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I may want to take care of some of the wear and tear on the old boat and keep her... :-/ Thanks
