Hez Posted June 20, 2017 Posted June 20, 2017 Well...I've saved up a little money and decided I wanted to upgrade my vessel. I have fished all over central FL in a 14' Jon boat with a 30 hp johnson. I basically learned to fish out of that thing...and she was good to me. BUT...the time has come... My first bass boat - a 1990 Ranger 374v with a 1996 175 hp Mariner Magnum EFI. To me...the boat is unbelievable. It's not perfect...but she is close enough to perfect for me. I have a little refreshing to do on her, mainly on the trailer...and a few "peace of mind" items...but everything works...everything is solid...and I couldn't be happier. 28 Quote

Thanks J Francho - I did a lot of research before hand...spent about 4 hours in the boat on the water Friday before I pulled the trigger...was very impressed with the hulls ride and stability. 3 Quote
